Primary Examiner: Bradley; Paula A.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Cahill, Sutton & Thomas

A flexible water resistant clindrical sheath encircles an in-line electrical connector to protect it against creating an electrical hazard. Opposed ends of the sheath are closed about respective electrical conductors extending from the in-line connector to enclose the in-line connector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A flexible water resistant or impermeable sheath includes opposed openings for inserting and withdrawing an electrical plug and socket unit and attached conductors.
A closure device is disposed at each end of the sheath to secure the sheath water tight about the respective extending conductor.
The flexibility of the sheath permits accommodation of any size or configuration of plug and socket provided only that the width of the sheath is sufficient to wrap therearound.
Retainer means may be employed to mechanically preclude separation of the in-line electrical plug and socket.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a water tight flexible sheath for enclosing an in-line electrical connector.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a sheath having closable end openings for accommodating insertion and withdrawal of an electrical unit disposed intermediate extending electrical conductors.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an electrical sheath extending about an electrical plug and electrical socket and secured to opposed extending electrical conductors.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a flexible light weight and inexpensive sheath for protecting in-line electrical conductors.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive disposable water tight sheath for various sized in-line electrical conductors.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a method for protecting in-line electrical connectors from creating a hazard.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the description thereof proceeds.
