Abstract
An electrical cord which comprises electrical conductors bundled together and electrically insulated from one another to prevent shorting therebetween and having an outer body applied around the cord. The outer body has a series of sections that sequentially follow one another along a length dimension of the cord, with each section comprising a body material that is sufficiently rigid to prevent the body material from being bent by a child during normal use or play. The cord is bendable between the rigid sections.

An electrical chord, comprising:
- electrical conductors bundled together and being electrically insulated to prevent shorting therebetween, said conductors terminating at first and second plug or socket ends of said chord;
- said chord having an outer body formed of a series of sections that sequentially follow one another along a length dimension of said chord, each section comprising a body material that is sufficiently rigid to prevent the body material from being bend by a child during normal use or play with the electrical chord and having a sufficient length to prevent formation of a loop capable of choking a child by the electrical chord being placed around the child's neck.
A cord, comprising:
- an inner body;
- said inner body having an outer wrapping formed of a series of sections that sequentially follow one another along a length dimension of said cord, each section comprising a body material that is sufficiently rigid to prevent the body material from being bent by a child during normal use or play with the cord and having a sufficient length to prevent formation of a loop capable of choking a child by the cord.
