    Abstract: A reorientable electrical outlet employs rotatable female electrical receptacle(s) to allow rotation of a male plug while connected in the rotatable female electrical receptacle. The disclosed technique is adaptable to a variety of rotatable female electrical receptacles ranging from typical residential two receptacles, polarized/grounded receptacles, and non-grounded receptacles. The prongs of a male plug may be inserted into the rotatable female electrical receptacle and rotated to desired positions and remain substantially fixed. Male plug interference with other electrical receptacles is minimized.
