Abstract

The securing device (20) for electrical connectors for securing various cords and devices to their respective outlets. The device may have a female receptacle (30) and a male plug (24, 26), only a female receptable, or only a male plug. The female receptacle (30) may have a screw-style plunger (42), a sleeve-style plunger (44) or other means for applying pressure against the sleeves holding the prongs that are plugged into the receptacle. The male plug (24, 26) can use a sleeve-style plunger (100) or other means to apply pressure against at least one of the prongs, causing the plug to be clamped into a receptacle. The female receptacle and male plug of the device can be separated by a cord to create an extension cord. The female receptacle of male plug could also be placed on the cords of a tool or appliance. A plurality of female receptacles could be used in a single unit to create a power strip having locking receptacles.
