Abstract: The grip wings provide a push/pull insertion and withdrawal of plugs that eliminates the need for grip strength; obvious visual and tactile alignment of plugs; a finger stop that is safely away from the prongs of the plug. These features are provided while preserving the original cord/plug integrity; adapting to the international variety of existing plugs; allowing fit in multiple close outlets; giving easy installation; and enduring for the life of the plug. The grip wings consist of a rigid bar positioned perpendicular to the line of the cord and plug, and an attachment of the bar to the plug. The grip wings can be provided as either an accessory to existing plugs or included in the original manufacturing of the plug. The grip wings are adaptable to consumer or industrial use. It is adaptable to options for shape, texture, appearance, self-illumination, and orientation to appeal to many markets.
