Abstract
An electrical cord plug puller is disclosed for aiding in the removal of plugs from sockets. The plug puller acts as an insulator between the user's hand and plug to eliminate shock occurrences. Main components include a flat cord with 15 pounds of tensile strength, a tie-wrap for securing the plug puller to the plug and its power cord, and a 3 to 6-inch piece of plastic tubing which forms the pull loop. The cord is bent to form two loops, with one situated on each end of the cord, a plug loop and a pull loop. The plug loop is secured to the plug. The user's fingers are placed through the pull loop when pulling the plug from the socket.
