ABSTRACT:
A substantially rigid strain relief bracket is provided for use with an electrical appliance having a power cord which extends from a handle and is attached to the handle through a conventional flexible strain relief device. The strain relief bracket can be attached over the flexible strain relief device at the end of the power cord adjacent to the handle. The strain relief bracket can be permanently attached for movement to the power cord or strain relief device or, alternatively, can be removably secured in a desired position relative to the handle to enable a user to extend the power cord away from the appliance to avoid interference between the appliance and the power cord. The strain relief bracket includes a substantially rigid, hollow tubular section having a proximal end and a distal end. A spacer arm extends from the proximal end of the tubular section and terminates in a jaw which can be used to secure the bracket in one or more cutouts provided in the end of the appliance handle.
