A housing and a power cable for supplying power to components within the housing wherein the power cable is attached to the appliance via a rotatable connection, the rotatable connection comprising a male connector having two longitudinally spaced connectors separated by a separator and a female connector comprising two longitudinally spaced receptacles. The two longitudinally spaced receptacles may be substantially identical and may be shaped to receive the longitudinally spaced connectors and may have a base portion and two upstanding portions forming a U-shape. The two upstanding portions may have a first straight section that extends from the base portion and may have a second section which extends from the first section and is adapted to receive a longitudinally spaced connector and may have a third section which extends from the second section and provides an opening into which a longitudinally spaced connector can be inserted.
A hand held appliance comprising a housing and a power cable for supplying power to components within the housing, wherein the power cable is attached to the appliance via a rotatable connection, the rotatable connection comprising a male connector having two connectors spaced in a longitudinal direction and separated by a separator, and a female connector comprising two longitudinally spaced receptacles, wherein at least one of the two longitudinally spaced receptacles comprises a base having a length that extends in the longitudinal direction and two or more independently movable fingers that extend parallel to one another from the base in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and contact at least one of the two longitudinally spaced connectors.
A hand held appliance comprising a housing and a power cable for supplying power to components within the housing, wherein the power cable is attached to the appliance via a rotatable connection, the rotatable connection comprising a male connector and a female connector, wherein the female connector extends along a longitudinal axis and comprises two longitudinally spaced receptacles that are located in two compartments separated by a radially inwardly extending wall, and wherein the male connector comprises two longitudinally spaced connectors separated by a separator and the male connector is connected to the female connector by insertion of the male connector orthogonal to the longitudinal axis such that the separator aligns with the radially inwardly extending wall.
