Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication headset comprising an earpiece housing and a boom having at least two independent pivot points. The boom of the present invention includes a first end, a second end and a universal joint disposed between the first and second ends. The first end of the boom is pivotally attached to a portion of the earpiece housing such that the boom is rotatably adjustable in a plane parallel to a user's ear allowing a user to adjust the microphone disposed at the second end of the boom in a position relative to the user's mouth. The universal joint disposed between the first and second ends of the boom provides the user with a second pivot point such that the user can adjust the second end of the boom to at least one of a plurality of positions independent of the first end of the boom attached to the earpiece housing.

Abstract: A manually-operated device for supplying electrical power to an external electrical device such as a mobile telephone, flashlight, etc. The device includes an electrical generator enclosed within a housing dimensioned for hand-carrying by a user and having a drive member for manually driving the electrical generator to generate an electrical voltage, and a reel having a retractable extension cord wound thereon. One end of the retractable extension cord is connected to the output of the electrical generator, and the opposite end carries an electrical connector for connection to an external electrical device for supplying power thereto when the electrical generator is manually driven by the drive member. The housing further carries a light source selectively energizable by an electrical switch to enable the device also to serve as a flashlight, and a ring which is openable and closable to facilitate carrying the device and its use as a key ring.

Abstract: A vehicle cigarette lighter connector having a barrel, a body pivotably secured to the barrel and a cable extending from the body. The barrel is preferably insertable into a vehicle cigarette lighter socket and has an end having indentations that are engagable by a detent pin on the body. The engagement of the detent pin in the indentations fixes the body in a predetermined orientation relative to the barrel. The body also includes a female connector into which can be inserted an additional male connector (such as another connector). A cable is secured at one end to the body. An adapter for an electrical device is preferably secured to the opposite end of the cable.
