Abstract
A plug connection securing system includes a male plug member that includes a male body with a front face and a peripheral wall. A cord extends into the male body. A plurality of male connections extends outwardly of the front face. A female plug member includes a female body with a forward face and a perimeter wall. A cord extends into the female body. A plurality of female connections extends inwardly of the forward face and receives the male connections. Each of a pair of arms has a first end pivotally attached to the peripheral wall. Each of the arms has a bend therein. Second ends of the arms are selectively positionable in front of the front face. A perimeter lip is attached to the female body and forms at least a pair of oppositely positioned shoulders. Each of the arms removably engages one of the shoulders.

A plug connection securing system comprising:
- a male plug member including a male body having a front face and a peripheral wall extending away from said front face, a cord extending into said male body, a plurality of male connections extending outwardly of said front face;
- a female plug member including a female body having a forward face and a perimeter wall extending away from said forward face, a cord extending into said female body, a plurality of female connections extending inwardly of said forward face, said male connections being removably extendable into said female connections to electrically couple said cord of said male plug member to said cord of said female plug member to define an engaged position;
- a pair of arms, each of said arms having a first end and a second end, each of said first ends being pivotally attached to said peripheral wall of said male plug member, each of said arms having a bend therein positioned between said first and second ends of a respective one to said arms, said second ends being selectively positionable in front of said front face
- a perimeter lip being attached to said female body at a juncture of said perimeter wall and said forward face, said perimeter lip forming at least a pair of oppositely positioned shoulders, each of said arms removably engaging one of said shoulders to retain said male and female plugs in said engaged positioning;
- and
- each of said arms having a plurality of teeth thereon, said teeth being positioned between associated ones of said bends and said second ends, said teeth extending toward said front face when said second ends are positioned forward of said front face, said peripheral lip having a plurality of catches thereon, said catches being positioned to frictionally couple with said teeth when said arms are engaged with said shoulders.
A plug connection securing system comprising:
- a male plug member including a male body having a front face and a peripheral wall extending away from said front face, a cord extending into said male body, a plurality of male connections extending outwardly of said front face;
- a female plug member including a female body having a forward face and a perimeter wall extending away from said forward face, a cord extending into said female body, a plurality of female connections extending inwardly of said forward face, said male connections being removably extendable into said female connections to electrically couple said cord of said male plug member to said cord of said female plug member to define an engaged position;
- a pair of arms, each of said arms having a first end and a second end, each of said first ends being pivotally attached to said peripheral wall of said male plug member, each of said arms having a bend therein positioned between said first and second ends of a respective one of said arms, said second ends being selectively positionable in front of said front face, said bends in said arms each being a perpendicular bend, each of said arms having a plurality of teeth thereon, said teeth being positioned between associated ones of said bends and said second ends, said teeth extending toward said front face when said second ends are positioned forward of said front face, said arms being positioned on opposite sides of said male body with respect to each other;
- a perimeter lip being attached to said female body at a juncture of said perimeter wall and said forward face, said perimeter lip forming at least a pair of oppositely positioned shoulders, each of said arms removably engaging one of said shoulders to retain said male and female plugs in said engaged position, said peripheral lip having a plurality of catches thereon, said catches being positioned to frictionally couple with said teeth when said arms are engaged with said shoulders;
- and
- a pair of grips, each of said arms having one of said grips attached thereto, said grips facilitating removing of said arms from shoulders.
