Switch socket
-Plugs will no longer block by obstacles; you can even choose your own direction.
The unfriendly location of wall sockets usually disturbs the user, especially
when there're furniture like shelfs and fridge in front of the socket. It

To solve this problem, a plug in designedon the socket in the direction

wall . In addition , a switch that can shift the socket for user to use in
either upward or down ward is designed.
