Abstract
A vehicle cigarette lighter connector having a barrel, a body pivotably secured to the barrel and a cable extending from the body. The barrel is preferably insertable into a vehicle cigarette lighter socket and has an end having indentations that are engagable by a detent pin on the body. The engagement of the detent pin in the indentations fixes the body in a predetermined orientation relative to the barrel. The body also includes a female connector into which can be inserted an additional male connector (such as another connector). A cable is secured at one end to the body. An adapter for an electrical device is preferably secured to the opposite end of the cable.
