Abstract: An electric extension cord receptacle includes side recesses to aid in grasping the receptacle while removing electric plugs from the receptacle. Two safety flaps attached to the receptacle body by living hinges pivot to cover unused electric sockets in the receptacle. The hinges are undercut to create preferred fold lines to properly register plastic plugs on the safety flaps with receiving slots in the electric sockets.
Abstract: An electric extension cord retail sleeve formed from flat paper or cardboard stock which is folded into a rectangular sleeve into which a looped extension cord is inserted. An opening in one broader panel of the sleeve receives the extension cord socket oriented to receive the prongs of the extension cord plug, inserted through the opposite broader panel of the sleeve, thereby holding the extension cord and sleeve in a convenient retail assemblage.
