ABSTRACT:
A cord conductor of two insulated conductor strands has a female terminal molded at one end and a conventional plug at the other. The female terminal has a pair of female contacts positioned therein which are in permanent electrical connection with their associated conductor strands. The female terminal is provided with a pair of terminal openings therein, the openings being adapted to frictionally receive the prong from a duplex plug that is in electrical connection with an electrical appliance. When the prongs are frictionally positioned in the terminal openings they are in slidable engagement with the female contacts to complete a portion of an electrical circuit.
The pair of terminal openings has a safety closure associated therewith. The safety closure is mounted between the terminal openings and is movable between a first and a second position. In its first position the safety closure is recessed in the female terminal to expose the terminal openings and to permit the prongs of a plug to be inserted therein. In the second position tabs on the safety closure frictionally enter the terminal openings to dielectrically seal the terminal openings.
