Charging cable support arm

A charging cable support arm comprising:

• a support member configured to be fixed to a wall face or a support post;
• a first arm having a side portion and a proximal end portion having an end face portion, the first arm being hinged to the support member via a connecting hinge, the first arm being rotatable within a horizontal plane;
• the support member comprises a first engagement portion that is parallel to and protrudes from the mounting wall face or support post by predetermined distance, and, a second engagement portion that extends perpendicularly from the mounting wall face or support post by the predetermined distance to the first engagement portion to form a corner between the first and second engagement portions, wherein
• the connecting hinge is provided at the corner such that the first arm can be rotated in one direction of the horizontal plane until the side portion of the first arm contacts the first engagement portion, and the first arm can be rotated in another direction of the horizontal plane until the end face portion of the first arm contacts the second engagement portion such that the first arm is rotatable by substantially 180 degrees of rotational range in the horizontal plane;
• and
• a second arm hinged to a distal end of the first arm, the second arm being rotatable within a horizontal plane, wherein
• the first arm is provided with an insertion hole through which a charging cable is inserted into the first arm, and the second arm is provided with, at a distal end thereof or near the distal end, a pull-out hole from which the inserted charging cable is pulled out, and
• by use of the charging cable pulled out of the pull-out hole, an electric vehicle is charged.
