ABSTRACT:
An electrical cord protector is designed to keep electric hedge trimmers and electric grass trimmers from cutting or damaging the cord. The principle behind the invention is an enlarged section of the cord so that this part of the cord will not fit between adjacent teeth of an electric hedge trimmer or an electric grass trimmer. Three methods of electrical cord protection can be used to protect the cord. In the first method, an enlarged diameter section of the cord is permanently built into the cord. This cord is then plugged into the trimmer. The second method of cord protection has an enlarged diameter section permanently built into a cord, and this cord is permanently wired into the trimmer. In the third method, a separate enlarged diameter section made from a material such as a plastic can be temporarily fastened around a section of a typical standard diameter electrical cord. The enlarged section is hollow with longitudinal ribs on the inside to accommodate different diameter typical standard diameter electrical cords. Friction of the ribs against the cord also keep the protector from slipping down the cord.
