Claims20
A securing device for retaining a power cord in a connected relationship with a power supply, the securing device comprising:
- a substantially planar body having a first end and a second end, the first end being configured to engage the power supply, the second end being configured to engage the power cord, and the body comprising a substantially rigid material,
- wherein the securing device does not provide an electrical connection between the power cord and the power supply.
A securing device for retaining a power cord in a connected relationship with a power supply, the securing device comprising:
- a substantially planar body having a first end and a second end, the second end being oriented substantially transversely to the first end, the first end being configured to engage the power supply, the second end being configured to engage the power cord, and the body comprising a substantially rigid material.
A securing device for retaining a power cord in a connected relationship with a power supply, the securing device comprising:
- a substantially planar body having an L shaped configuration, the body having a first end and a second end, the second end being oriented substantially transversely to the first end, the first end having a pair of integral first hooks, each first hook being spaced apart from one another along the first end, the pair of first hooks being configured to engage a handle attached to the power supply, the second end having a pair of integral second hooks, each second hook being spaced apart from one another along the second end, the pair of second hooks being configured to engage the power cord, one of the second hooks having a central aperture dimensioned to obstruct a plug attached at an end of the power cord from passing through the central aperture, the body defining a first aperture extending therethrough, the first aperture being disposed proximate the first end, the body further defining a second aperture extending therethrough, the second aperture being disposed proximate the second end, and the body comprising a substantially rigid material.
