Abstract: A pivoting electrical receptacle assembly is provided, comprising an enclosure having at least one mounting bracket extending outside the enclosure, wherein the enclosure includes a plurality of internal wire terminals and a plurality of external wire terminals. The enclosure includes an electrical receptacle having at least one socket and a plurality of receptacle wire terminals, wherein the receptacle is pivotably positioned within the enclosure. A plurality of jumper wires are electrically connected between the receptacle wire terminals and the internal wire terminals such that an electrical current connected to the external wire terminals energizes the socket through any pivoting position of the receptacle within the enclosure. Optional springs are positioned on the pivots to enable return of the receptacle to a neutral or central position within the enclosure.

Abstract: A pivotal electrical receptacle allowing pivotal movement of plugs includes an outlet that has opposing ends. The outlet comprises a plurality of electrical sockets. A pair of couplers is configured to couple the outlet to an electrical box. Each of a pair of pivots is pivotally coupled to a respective opposing end of the outlet and a respective coupler. Each of a plurality of biasers is operationally coupled to the respective opposing end of the outlet and the respective coupler. The pivots are positioned such that the outlet is pivotable from a default positioned substantially parallel to a plane defined by the substrate in which the electrical box is mounted. The biasers are configured such that pivoting of the outlet induces a force compelling the outlet to return to the default position.
