Abstract
An electrical repair plug device replaces an original plug device that has been severed from the electrical cord. A housing comprises a base enclosure and a top enclosure that snap together to secure the housing to the electrical power cord. A strainer comprises a strain relief on one end coupled to the electrical power cord and the housing. The strain relief provides support for conduction wires exposed from a skin of the electrical power cord by decoupling external force on the electrical power cord from the conduction wires. The housing includes individual channels for each of the exposed conduction wires, each individual channel insulated from each other and including a plurality of teeth to bite the exposed conduction wires.
Claims20
An electrical plug repair device to repair a connection between an electrical power cord powering an electrical device and an electrical plug, comprising:
- a housing, comprising a base enclosure and a top enclosure that snap together to secure the housing to the electrical power cord;
- a strainer to encapsulate a first end of the electrical power cord and comprising a strain relief coupled to the housing, wherein the strain relief provides support for conduction wires exposed from a skin of the first end of the electrical power cord by decoupling external force on the electrical power cord from the conduction wires,
- wherein the housing includes individual channels for each of the exposed conduction wires, each individual channel insulated from each other and including a plurality of teeth to bite the exposed conduction wires;
- and
- male electrical prongs or female electrical prong receivers coupled to the housing and configured for insertion to the electrical plug to draw electrical power for the electrical device, wherein each of the individual channels supports one of the electrical prongs for electrical connection to an exposed wire.
A method for repairing an electrical plug powering an electrical device through an electrical cord, comprising:
- securing an electrical power cord to a housing, comprising a base enclosure and a top enclosure that snap together;
- providing support for conduction wires with a strainer to encapsulate a first end of the electrical power cord and comprising a strain relief coupled to the housing, wherein the strain relief provides support for conduction wires exposed from a skin of the first end of the electrical power cord by decoupling external force on the electrical power cord from the conduction wires,
- wherein the housing includes individual channels for each of the exposed conduction wires, each individual channel insulated from each other and including a plurality of teeth to bite the exposed conduction wires;
- and
- inserting male electrical prongs, configured for insertion to the electrical plug to draw electrical power for the electrical device, for coupling to the housing, wherein each of the individual channels supports one of the electrical prongs for electrical connection to an exposed wire.
