ABSTRACT:
A locking electrical cord connector includes both male and female contacts. The device includes a housing of electrically non-conductive material including a cylindrical cavity. A pair of opposed plungers are mounted for reciprocation in this cavity. An actuator switch in the form of an elliptical disc is mounted for reciprocation in the housing about a center shaft between the plungers. Each plunger is biased into engagement with the outer cam edge of the disc by means of springs. In use, the male connector of another electrical appliance is connected with the female connector of the device. The female end of a second electrical appliance is connected with the male connector of the device. The actuator switch is then turned so that the plungers are forced outwardly against the biasing of the springs. This causes spring metal conducting members in both the female and male connectors or contacts to bow outwardly and press against the cooperating male and female connectors of the other appliances so as to positively hold all the connectors together.
