Abstract
The present invention is a novel and unique 360.degree. connector system which can be used in an in-line cable to cable application, but can also be utilized in various applications such as a power tool, an extension cord, etc. The uniqueness of the 360.degree. connector system is the concave/convex longitudinal tubular surfaces and transverse circular surfaces of the male and female connectors for improved area contact, thereby creating continuity and allowing the connector system to turn around freely in a 360.degree. rotation. The essential components of the present invention 360.degree. connector system basically include a male connector and a female connector rotatably connected to each other. Both of the male and female connectors are generally made of an elastomer material, instead of the standard static material.
