Water resistant extension cord connector housing

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore a primary object to provide a receptacle to receive the mating ends of two separate extension cords.
It is a further object to provide a receptacle which will accept a variety of styles and sizes of the mating ends of two separate extension cords.
Still another object is to make a receptacle which is resistant to snags or obstacles such as the edges of roofs, abutments, edges, tree limbs or the like, when dragging the cord and receptacle over them.
Yet another important object is to provide inserts at both ends of the receptacle to receive various sizes and shapes of cords such as zip cords or round cords of varies sizes.
Another important object is to make the inserts in a manner which cooperates with the receptacle in order to locate the inserts in multiple positions, thus, causing the inner ends of the inserts to come into contact with the cord ends of the plug to securely hold the plugs together.
Another object is to provide a water tight sheath or balloon which captures both end of the cords and not only assists in holding them together but makes them resistant to water or moisture.
Still another object is to make the receptacle with a "living hinge" that is flexible so that the receptacle can be opened and closed many times without breaking.
Yet another important object is to provide a sealed lip around the entire perimeter of the receptacle to further protect the plugs from water, moisture, mud, etc.
Another object is to design the receptacle in such a manner as to be able to injection mold not only the receptacle but also varied inserts in the same mold.
Yet another object is to teach the user a method of placing the balloon or sheath over one of the plugs, inserting the mating plug, sliding the balloon or sheath over the second plug, placing the now sheathed plugs into the receptacle, selecting the proper matching inserts, inserting the inserts into the receptacle in a selected position to hold the mating plugs together, closing the matching inserts around the cords, and then closing the receptacle to capture and hold the plugs, inserts and cords in a secure water and moisture resistant manner
