Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein include a swivel connector assembly and method of securing a swivel connector assembly to a tractor-trailer system comprising a non-rigid, movable socket to reduce stress on the connection interface when a tractor makes a turn. The axis of the socket follows and approximates the axis of the tractor as the electrical cord stretches, while the swivel connector assembly provides more than a single axis of rotation to accommodate multiple angles of cord movement. The swivel connector assembly provides at least two separate and distinct rotation axes for the socket.

Claim (Index 20):
A swivel connector comprising:\n a first mounting member capable of being secured to a supporting structure of a trailer; an intermediate member capable of rotation about at least a first axis with respect to the first mounting member; and a socket mounting member capable of securing a socket receptacle wherein the socket mounting member engages with the intermediate member to allow rotation about at least a second axis, wherein the intermediate member couples the base mounting bracket and the socket mounting member.
