Abstract
A plug protecting device is provided, including a housing and a non-conductive terminal protective port that corresponds to a male charging or connecting plug of an electronic device which provides a secure fit that protects the plug when not in use. An attachable vehicle to trailer plug protection device is also provided, including a housing and a terminal protective port that corresponds to a male plug of a trailer which provides a secure fit that protects the plug when not in use. Also provided are an integrated plug protecting device and an integrated trailer to vehicle plug protection device including respective terminal protective ports.
Claims18
A plug protecting device for use with a male charging or connecting plug of an electronic device, the plug protecting device comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a non-conductive terminal protective port defined in the housing, wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port is configured for securely receiving the male charging or connecting plug of the electronic device, and wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port includes non-electrically functioning metal contacts that correspond to, contact, and to protect the male charging or connecting plug when positioned in the non-conductive terminal protective port.
A trailer plug protection device for use with a male connecting plug associated with a trailer, the trailer plug protection device comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a non-conductive terminal protective port defined by the housing, wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port is configured for securely receiving the male connecting plug associated with the trailer to protect the male connecting plug when not connected to a receiver associated with a vehicle, wherein the male connector plug includes female ports and contacts, wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port includes non-electrically functioning male protrusions that correspond to the female ports and contacts of the trailer plug, and wherein the non-electrically functioning male protrusions protect the female ports and contacts when positioned in the non-conductive terminal protective port.
An integrated plug protecting device comprising:
- a plug protector containing a non-conductive terminal protective port defined in a surface,
- wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port is configured for securely receiving a male end of a charging or connecting plug for an electronic device to protect a conductive lead in the male end of the charging or connecting plug, wherein the non-conductive protective port includes non-electrically functioning metal contacts incorporated within a housing.
An integrated trailer to vehicle plug protection device comprising:
- a trailer plug protector containing a non-conductive terminal protective port defined in a surface,
- wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port is configured for securely receiving a male end of a trailer plug to protect a conductive lead in the male end of the trailer plug, wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port includes a plurality of non-electrically functioning male protrusions incorporated within a trailer for protecting corresponding female pins of the trailer plug.
A plug protecting device for use with a male charging or connecting plug of an electronic device, the plug protecting device comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a non-conductive terminal protective port defined in the housing, wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port is configured for securely receiving the male charging or connecting plug of the electronic device to protect the male charging or connecting plug when not connected to the electronic device, wherein the non-conductive terminal protective port is a plurality of non-conductive terminal protective ports, and wherein the plurality of non-conductive terminal protective ports are configured for receiving and securing different types of connectors, respectively.
