  • Publication number: 20170133804
    Abstract: A power cord with an integrated socket box located between its plug and connector has many advantages, especially in the construction industry. Power tools can be manufactured with this power cord so that one need not look for an extension cord when he is seeking to use a secondary tool. This power cord also allows for multiple parties to work from a single power source. In some embodiments, the power cord is an integral part of the electrical device, such as a power tool. In other embodiments, the power cord is permanently attached to the existing electrical device. In some cases, a securing sheathe made of heat shrinking tubing is used to attach the power cord to the electrical device. In some embodiments, the integrated socket box can have more than one socket. In at least one embodiment the integrated socket box has a ground fault interrupter.
