ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for preventing the inadvertent disconnection of an electrical connector or plug inserted into a corresponding wall receptacle. The apparatus is comprised of a channel-shaped cord retention member (40) connected with two threaded fasteners (48) and (52) to an attaching member (12). The attaching member (12) is basically formed of resilient material (16) and contains a grooved rod (24) that protrudes beyond the bottom surface of the attaching member (12). A wall plate-receiving member (64) is provided with a slotted opening (68) through which the grooved rod (24) penetrates when pressure is exerted on the resilient material (16). The compression force maintains contact with the attaching member (12) and the wall plate (64). An electric cord is positioned between the cord retention member (40) and the attaching member (12) by compression of the two threaded fasteners (48) and (52).
