ABSTRACT:
A device for retaining an electrical plug and extension cord to another plug and extension cord employs fastener strip elements secured to the cord adjacent to the plug by a circumferential clamping element.

The fastener elements may be mushroom-type fastener elements such as those available under the name Dual Lock.
