A retaining device for use with interconnecting plug ends of first and second extending cords. A main gripping body exhibits a first pair of arcuately extending and spaced apart gripping portions. A secondary gripping body is slidably received within an axially extending aperture defined in the main gripping body and exhibits a second pair of arcuately extending and spaced apart gripping portions arrayed in opposing fashion relative the first pair of gripping portions. A cover plate is fixedly secured to the main gripping body, in overlaying fashion upon the axially extending aperture, the cover plate and secondary gripping body each further exhibiting a partially aligning and extending recess. A coil spring seats within the aligning portions of the first and second recesses and in order to retain the secondary gripping body relative the main gripping body and to bias the first and second pairs of gripping portions in a direction towards one another, thereby biasingly engaging the opposite plug ends of the first and second extending cords.
