ABSTRACT:
A cord connector having a pair of substantially hollow receptacle-like members, with each of the members having a side wall and a first end with a plurality of resilient fingers cantilevered from the end, with the plurality of resilient fingers positioned at an acute angle to the side wall so that axial displacement of an electrical plug into the substantially hollow receptacle-like member can force the plurality of resilient fingers radially outward to permit passage of the electrical plug past the resilient fingers and into the substantially hollow receptacle-like member and thereby allow the resilient fingers to flex radially inward and engage a rear portion of the electrical plug. The resilient fingers having sufficient stiffness so that when the electrical cord connected to the electrical plug is pulled, the resilient fingers engage the electrical plug and prevent withdrawal of the electrical plug from the substantially hollow receptacle-like member.
