Abstract: An electrical plug designed to inhibit another electrical plug, mated or joined thereto, from becoming inadvertently separated as a result of pulling forces being exerted on an electrical cord extending from the other electrical plug. The salient feature of the invention is an electricfiable plug body which contains a strain relief for releasably securing or griping a lengthwise portion of a second electrical cord to the plug body thereby maintaining the electric connection between the electrical contacts of the plug body and the electrical cord when tensile or pulling forces are exerted. The strain relief comprises a series of tines extending from the plug body which combine to define a circuitous path of travel for the lengthwise portion of the second electrical cord secured by the stain relief. The surfaces of the tines define an elongated groove, arranged adjacent to the plug body, which accommodates the lengthwise portion of the second electrical cord therebetween.

Abstract: A clamp assembly for a battery booster cable for removable attachment to a battery terminal. The clamp assembly includes a pair of clamp members each having a jaw portion and a handle portion. One of the jaw portions is configured with an electrically conductive edge portion, and the other jaw portion is configured with a non-conductive edge portion. The electrically conductive edge portion and non-conductive edge cooperate to securely mount the clamp assembly to the battery terminal. A pivot member joins the clamp members together between the respective jaw and handle portions thereof to allow pivotal movement of the clamp members relative to one another about the pivot member. A biasing member is also disposed on the clamp members for normally urging the handle portions apart and the jaw portions together about the pivot member.

Abstract: A conductor cable includes a tubular metallic sheath for carrying one or more electrical conductors and/or one or more fiber optic elements and which, in various embodiments has a substantially rectangular transverse cross-sectional configuration defined by pairs of parallel sidewalls which enable selective bending of the cable generally about the major and minor axes of the sheath. The parallel sidewalls may have substantially transverse or angularly inclined corrugations formed along their lengths to facilitate bending of the cable in relatively small radius bends about the major and minor axes of the sheath.
