ABSTRACT:
The power tool cord locking assembly is designed to provide the user with a device that will prevent the electric plug on his or her power tool from unplugging from an electric extension cord or power outlet. The assembly comprises a unit having at least one housings, each housing has bottom portion and an open top portion. There are receiving slots in the end portions which are designed to receive the plug from the extension cord in one housing and the plug from the power tool in the other housing. The housings have extensions which are designed to be grasped and receive one end of elastic units on each side of the housings. The elastic devices are positioned as to connect the opposing handles creating a resistance for the housings and holding the electric plugs in position. In use, the operator would fasten the electric plugs together and position in the electric plugs in the opposing slots in the assembly. The elastic devices would hold the housings together, locking the plugs together securely despite almost any manipulation of the device.
