TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to an electrical connector for use with conventional electrically powered hand tools which may be moved in a circular motion such as a counterclockwise direction during use as may be required in manufacturing or maintenance operations. The invention can be for example connected between the electrical supply cord of the hand tool and a drop cord connected to a power source to prevent the supply cord from twisting and possibly being damaged as the tool is directed continuously in circles.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Attempts have been made in the past to prevent electrical supply cords from twisting and being damaged by operators who must direct power hand tools in continuous circular patterns. For example, in the manufacture of round table tops, jigsaws are often employed to cut wood or ply-board and such materials may be cut with a hand-held electrical jigsaw in a continuous counterclockwise direction. After one or more tops are cut the operator must stop and untwist the electrical supply cord which may be suspended from an overhead power source. In use, after sufficient twisting has occurred, the power supply or drop cord may be damaged and has to be repaired or replaced at great expense. Continuous circular movement of power hand tools normally occurs in furniture manufacturing, cloth cutting in garment plants and in other types of manufacturing and maintenance facilities.
With the known problems associated with electrical supply cord twisting, the present invention was conceived and one of its objectives is to provide a rotatable electrical connector which is easy to install between an electrical supply cord and a power hand tool and which can be readily adapted to a variety of power hand tool uses.
It is another objective of the present invention to provide a rotatable electrical connector which is relatively simple in construction yet which will provide convenience to the user and will prevent windings in supply cords when a hand tool is operated in a circular direction.
It is still another objective of the present invention to provide a rotatable electrical connector for electrical supply cords which can be easily manufactured for various voltages and which is equipped with a ground wire.

FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the positions for the rotating electric connection assembly 10 cylindrical connector housings 100, 118, and 120 for full 360 degree rotation range along the longitudinal axis 124.

Cylindrical housings 80, 90, 100, 118, and 120 and internal channel 26 are non-conductive portions of the body and the rotating electric connection assembly 10 and can be made from various plastics known to be suitable in this type of application.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum material and dimensional relationships for the parts of the rotating electric connection assembly 10 will include variations in size, materials, shape, and form, which will occur to those skilled in the art upon review of the present disclosure. For example the length of the cylindrical connector housings 100, 118, and 120 can be varied. Similarly, diameters of the cylindrical connector housings 100, 118, and 120 can be varied so long as the respective relationship of the longitudinal 360 degree rotational electrical connections for the contained contacts and spatial relationships among and between cylindrical housings are maintained within the housings as disclosed.
Furthermore, the rotating electric connection assembly 10 can be adapted for use as the female end of an electrical cord or similar extension device, including both flexible and rigid extensions.
All equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
