Low profile electrical male plug

Claim 1

A low profile electrical plug having a rotatable selectively positionable electric cord connection comprising a prong plate having an insulating body member with a pair of spaced electrical prongs on one side thereof and a prong conductor coupled to each of said electrical prongs on the other side thereof; a rotatable electric cord plate having an insulating body member; said prong plate and said cord plate being proportioned to provide a low profile electrical plug when pivotally secured together in a sandwich-type relationship; a spaced pair of outer and inner conductors on said prong plate and a pair of outer and inner conductors on said cord plate which are spaced and positioned to electrically and conductively contact the respective outer and inner conductors on said prong plate when said prong plate and said cord plate are secured together in sandwiched relationship, said outer and inner conductors on said prong plate and said cord plate being disposed with annular grooves in the insulating body member and said outer and inner conductors on the other one thereof being adapted to seat within said annular grooves to establish electrical contact therewith, said outer and inner conductors further being joined so as to provide continuous electrical contact as said prong plate and said cord plate are selectively rotated with respect to one another; and electric cord conductors affixed to said cord plate and extending radially therefrom so that said electric cord conductors rotate with said cord plate, said electric cord conductors being electrically coupled to the respective ones of said outer and inner conductors on said cord plate.
