Patent ID: 6962506

Claim:
For use with an electrical device, an electrical coupling device, comprising: a cable having multiple insulated conductors, said cable having a centerline and first and second ends; a first electrical connector having a first longitudinal axis coincident with said centerline, said first electrical connector coupled to said first end and coupleable to a power outlet; a second electrical connector having a second longitudinal axis coincident with said centerline, said second electrical connector coupled to said second end and coupleable to an electrical device; and a strain relief structure substantially surrounding said cable and having a length that extends from said first electrical connector to said second electrical connector and a flexibility along said length, said strain relief structure coupled to said first and second electrical connectors, said flexibility allowing said centerline to resiliently flex such that said second longitudinal axis may deviate in any direction within 360 degrees about said first longitudinal axis, at least about 90 degrees from said first longitudinal axis.
