Abstract
An electrical locking socket and multiple position swivel plug in which the socket has gripping members for holding the blades of a plug inserted into the socket, and the swivel plug is pivotally connected to the socket and latched at a desired angular position relative to the socket. These features prevent the inadvertent separation of socket and plug assemblies.
