Abstract
An in-wall mounted receptacle device includes a body and an electrical outlet box, wherein the body has an accommodating section. The electrical outlet box has a junction surface and is disposed inside the body. When the electrical outlet box rotates, a perpendicular direction of the junction surface varies and points outwardly or inwardly. Whereby, the in-wall mounted receptacle device of the present invention is capable of receiving both an electrical plug which is connected with the junction surface and an electric wire coupled to the electrical plug into the accommodating section, thereby preventing the electrical plug from exposure outside and further reducing the occupied space of the electrical plug. Moreover, the orientation of the junction surface is capable of changing directions so as to alter the direction of the electric wire adjacent to the electrical plug, thereby minimizing the possibility of bending or damaging the electric wire exposed outside.
