Abstract

An apparatus is designed to protect a connection between a plug of a first electrical cord and a socket of a second electrical cord from moisture. The apparatus consists of a first housing portion and a second housing portion that, when mated, form an interior region, a first aperture configured to receive the first electrical cord, and a second aperture configured to receive the second electrical cord. Four cross-wise portions are located in the interior region. The first and second cross-wise portions are attached to the first housing portion and are positioned proximate the first and second apertures, respectively. The third and fourth cross-wise portions are attached to the second housing portion and are positioned proximate the first and second apertures, respectively. When the housing portions are mated, the first cross-wise portion abuts the third cross-wise portion and the second cross-wise portion abuts the fourth cross-wise portion.

Dependent claims

An electrical cord connection covering apparatus for covering a connection of a first electrical cord including a plug and a cable with a second electrical cord including a socket and a cable, wherein the electrical cord connection covering apparatus comprises:

a first housing portion including an interior surface, an exterior surface, a first end, and a second end;
a second housing portion configured to mate with the first housing portion and including an interior surface, an exterior surface, a first end, and a second end, wherein when the first housing portion and second housing portion are mated, they form a hollow interior region, a first aperture configured to receive the first electrical cord, and a second aperture configured to receive the second electrical cord;
a first at least one cross-wise portion attached to the interior surface of the first housing portion and proximate the first end of the first housing portion;
a second at least one cross-wise portion attached to the interior surface of the first housing portion and proximate the second end of the first housing portion;
a third at least one cross-wise portion attached to the interior surface of the second housing portion and proximate the first end of the second housing portion;
and
a fourth at least one cross-wise portion attached to the interior surface of the second housing portion and proximate the second end of the second housing portion.
