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 11):
The connector assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the fixed hemispherical portion has an outer surface including a revolved rib formed therein and oriented about the first axis, the first hemispherical portion is a half sphere having an outer surface with a revolved groove formed therein and oriented about the second axis, and the second hemispherical portion has an interior surface including one or more inwardly extending ribs and an exterior surface including one or more outwardly extending ribs, wherein the inwardly and outwardly extending ribs are positioned orthogonally opposite to one another.
