  • Patent number: 11837804
    Abstract: A protective cover for the connector of a power cord is provided. The protective cover has a body that defines an enclosure for protectively housing the connector and any associated built-up portion, as well as the portion of the power cord that interfaces with the connector and/or built-up portion. The protective cover may have a filament extending therefrom to a cord ring that attaches to the power cord itself to act as a lanyard toggle. The protective cover may move between an open position and a closed position for receiving and protecting, respectively, the connector. The protective cover may also have elastic properties enabling it to elastically deform sufficiently to slide onto the connector, wherein a tapered hood of the protective cover shrouds the portion of the power cord that interfaces with the connector and/or built-up portion.
