ABSTRACT:
A method of weather proofing an opening through which an electrical cord passes. The method involves modifying the electrical cord by the addition of an elongate resilient deformable truncated conical sealing element. The electrical cord extends through a longitudinal passage in the truncated conical sealing element. The truncated conical sealing element is received into the opening in interference fit relation to provide a weather seal. The truncated conical sealing element can be integrally moulded to form part of an electrical plug. The opening may be modified with trumpet bell form lips to further enhance the weather seal.
