Abstract
An apparatus that includes an elastic sleeve; an integrally formed top cover that completely (or at least substantially completely) covers one end of the elastic sleeve; an integrally formed elongated clamp feature that extends outward from across a top surface of the top cover, wherein the elongated clamp feature has a C-shaped cross section; an integrally formed elongated strap that is connected at a proximal end to an edge of top cover and that has an elastic loop formed at a distal end of the elongated strap.
Claims19
An apparatus for protecting an electrical plug, the apparatus comprising:
- an elastic sleeve, wherein the elastic sleeve is configured to be placed around the electrical plug;
- an integrally formed top cover that at least substantially covers one end of the elastic sleeve;
- an integrally formed elongated clamp feature that extends outward from across a top surface of the top cover for clamping the top cover to a cord of the electrical plug;
- and
- an integrally formed elongated strap that is connected at a proximal end of the elongated strap to an edge of the top cover and that has an elastic loop formed in the elongated strap distal to the top cover.
A method for protecting an electrical plug, the method comprising:
- forming a plug-protection device, wherein the forming of the plug-protection device includes:
- forming an elastic sleeve;
- integrally forming a top cover substantially completely covering one end of the elastic sleeve;
- integrally forming an elongated clamp feature across a top surface of the top cover for clamping the top cover to a cord of the electrical plug;
- and
- integrally forming an elongated strap connected at a proximal end of the strap to an edge of the top cover and having an elastic loop formed in the elongated strap distal to the top cover.
