ABSTRACT:
The electric connector plug retainer (10) holds a male electric plug (12) in engagement with a female electric plug (14). The electric connector plug retainer (10) includes a first ring section (40) with a central aperture (48) for the passage of an electric cable (16) and a second ring section (42) for the passage of an electric cable (18). Elongated elastic members (44 and 46) are integral with the first and second ring sections (40 and 42), bias the first and second ring sections toward each other and bias the electric plug (12) and the electric plug (14) toward each other to retain an electric connection. A slit (52) is provided in the second ring section for the passage of a cable (18) into and out of the central aperture (50). Tabs (54) are provided in the slit (52) to restrict the passage of a cable through the slit. A slit (68) can be provided in the first ring section (40) if desired.
