Abstract: A swivelled electrical outlet receptacle includes a swivel unit that can rotate in all directions. The swivel unit is disposed on a holder with a ball and joint socket arrangement. The swivel unit is placed in a housing and is supported by the swivel holder on one side and a face plate, or front panel, on the other side. The swivel unit housing in turn is disposed in an electrical box wall unit. The box wall unit is disposed within a wall opening similar to conventional outlet boxes. The swivel unit has a spherical shape, which allows it to rotate in up and down directions against a plane parallel to the plane of the face plate of the swivel unit. The swivel unit can also rotate in a clockwise or counter clockwise direction. In accordance with another embodiment of the invention, the swivel unit is arranged to rotate via a cam-hinge arrangement. As such the swivel unit is capable to rotate a full 180° in all directions.
