 Device and method for firming-up a plug-socket connection

Details
Inventors: Bryan, Horace;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner:
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A flexible plug-to-socket connection firming-up device which is at least partly foldable from an initially substantially flat and inoperative state to at least a partly folded operative state includes an adhesive strip adapted for being connected to at least a holder of the socket, and flaps connected to the adhesive strip, and adapted to be at least partially wrapped around the plug so as to restrain the plug from being unintentionally unplugged from the socket.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore a principal object of the present invention to obviate the disadvantages of the prior art, and to devise a plug-to-socket firming-up device which ensures a better permanency in the connection between a selected plug and a selected socket, while permitting an easy removal of the already plugged-in plug from the socket.
It is another object of the present invention to make such a plug-to-socket firming-up device as inexpensive as possible, and easy to ship, so that a plurality of such devices can be easily packaged, while each is in an inoperative flat state.
It is yet another object of this invention to reduce the safety hazard to children, who may attempt to place metallic objects into the socket as a replacement for the plug, which may accidentally or otherwise have become detached from the socket.
It is still another object of the present invention to to permit positive identification of each plug-to-socket connection selected, such as, for example, by inscribing alpha-numeric letters thereon, which advise a user which device, such as a lamp, a television set, a computer, etc.
is connected to the selected socket.
These, and other objects of the invention are attained by a flexible plug-to-socket connection firming-up device which is at least partly foldable from an initially substantially flat and inoperative state to at least a partly folded operative state, and which includes an adhesive strip adapted for being connected to at least a holder of the socket, and flags connected to the adhesive strip, and adapted to be at least partially wrapped around the plug, so as to restrain the plug from being unintentionally unplugged from the socket.
In a preferred embodiment there is provided a second adhesive strip, which is connected to the first adhesive strip, and the side of the second adhesive strip, which operatively faces away from the socket, is adapted to be inscribed with alpha-numeric characters.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent hereafter, and or be set forth in the description, or in the dependent claims
