 Electrical cord, plug and receptacle retainer and line retainer

Details
Inventors: Light, Jack W.;

Primary Examiner: Nguyen; Khiem

Attorney, Agent or Firm:

This electrical cord, plug and receptacle retainer is made from one piece that holds together plugs and receptacles by retaining their cords. Likewise, the line retainer, with the same end element as the cord retainer, can hold a boat fender to a desired position when line is secured in line retainer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The devices described above are made from multiple plastic parts that are difficult to use and can break easily.
Another key point to recognize, these devices only hold together the plug and receptacle.
The weakest part of a plug and receptacle is the cord casing and wires entering the plug and receptacle ends.
These devices do nothing to prevent strain on the cord, cord casings, or the wires entering the plug and receptacle ends.
My invention will eliminate all of the above disadvantages.
It consists of one solid piece which is designed to retain or hold together electrical cords, plugs and receptacles in a simplistic and efficient manner, as well as preventing damage incurred by pulling cord casings and wires from the plug and receptacle ends.
Having worked on construction sites and in shops, I have observed the many methods of tying electrical cords together.
In most cases, these methods will eventually cause damage to the cord casings and wires in the plug and receptacle ends.
My invention holds the strongest part of the cord gently and securely in what I call a "Double S" motion of the cords, without inflicting strain on the cords or wires in the plug and receptacle ends.
This retainer is designed to accept all different types of electric cords and all shapes and sizes of plugs and receptacles on the cords.
For example, electric cords vary from different diameters of round cords to different thickness and widths of flat cords, or any combination there of.
In addition, electrical cords with multiple receptacle ends can be retained with two or more individual cord and plug ends.
(see accompanying drawings) With the many electric hand-held power tools manufactured today; saws, drills, hedge trimmers etc.
, the majority come with a very short electrical cord and plug.
These instances will require the use of an extension cord for operation.
This invention will retain the plug on the electrical device with the receptacle on the extension cord, enabling full use and mobility of the device without possible cord separation and without stress on the cord, plug or receptacle ends
