ABSTRACT:
An extension cord retaining device for preventing accidental disengagement of male and female extension cord adapters. A first planar shaped member includes a flattened body portion and a first pair of angularly extending and spaced apart gripping members. A second planar shaped member includes a pair of spaced apart and axially extending legs which receive the flattened body portion of the first planar member in a coplanar fashion and a second pair of angularly extending and spaced apart gripping members which are arranged opposite the first pair of gripping members. An upper plate and a lower plate sandwich the first and second planar shaped members and fasteners secure the stacked arrangement together. The arrangement of the first and second planar shaped members is such that the first member is axially slidable relative to the second member and a coil spring is further employed to introduce an inward resilient bias to the opposing pairs of gripping portions to maintain contact with the male and female adapters.
