Abstract: An extension cord connector construction wherein the connector components, including a visual power indicator, are encapsulated within a solid, light-permeable body to form the connector. By suspending the components in this manner, the lamp can be seen from a wide range of viewing angles. Furthermore, the body of the connector acts as a shock absorber or cushion which limits the damaging effects of mechanical stresses and improves the structural integrity of the connections within the connector.

Abstract: An multiple outlet adaptor for plug insertion into a conventional wall mounted outlet receptacle, having a main housing defining an interior space a pair of connector blades extending from the rear of the main housing, being spaced apart and arranged in a parallel relationship for insertion into a wall mounted outlet receptacle, a pair of bus carriers mounted within said main housing constructed to accept the connector blades of a conventional plug passing through a pair of apertures in each of the bus carriers, a pair of bus strips positioned for making electrical contact with connector blades inserted into the pair of apertures, a printed circuit board or a pair of tie bars disposed within the interior space housing for electrically connecting the pair of connector blades on the rear of the adaptor housing to the connector blades of a conventional plug inserted into the pair of apertures.
