  • Patent number: 5549482
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing together an attachment plug mounted at one end of an electric flexible cord, with an electric receptacle defining either a cord connector or an electric wall receptacle is disclosed. The apparatus comprises in combination an elongated member fastened to a buckle in which an arcuated portion of the electric flexible cord is mounted and blocked. The free end of the elongated member is then secured to an anchoring object which is the electric wall receptacle if the apparatus is securing the attachment plug with the wall receptacle. If the apparatus is securing extension cords together, the anchoring object is another buckle in which the electric cord of the cord connector is mounted and blocked. This securing apparatus is very advantageous because it is equally suitable for securing a coupled pair of electrical cords to one another or, in the alternative, for securing attachment plug in a standard wall receptacle. It is also easy to install and low in cost.
