Method and apparatus for sealing connections between electrical extension cords

A method for temporarily sealing an electrical extension cord connection, the method comprising:

• providing a thin sheet of flexible, substantially water-impermeable material, one side of the sheet having a strip of adhesive along its perimeter;
• providing two or more plug-in type electrical extension cords;
• plugging the extension cords together to form an electrical connection;
• placing the sheet onto the extension cords such that the electrical connection is located within the perimeter of adhesive;
• and
• wrapping the sheet around the electrical connection, such that the adhesive on one portion of the sheet contacts any other portion of the sheet, or the adhesive thereon, to temporarily seal the electrical connection within a volume created by said wrapped sheet.

A temporary sealing apparatus for temporarily sealing an electrical extension cord connection, the apparatus comprising:

• a flexible, substantially water-impermeable sleeve, having an opening at each of two ends;
• and
• a strip of adhesive along the inside edge of each opening;
• wherein the sleeve is configured to receive and surround a connection between plug-in type electrical extension cords, and wherein the ends of the sleeve are configured to be compressed such that the adhesive temporarily seals the sleeve around the electrical connection.

A method for temporarily sealing an electrical extension cord connection, the method comprising:

• providing a flexible, substantially water-impermeable sleeve having an opening at both ends, each opening having a strip of adhesive around its inside edge;
• inserting a first electrical extension cord having a plug-in type connection end into an opening at one end of the sleeve;
• plugging the connection end of the first electrical extension cord into a plug-in type connection end of a second electrical extension cord, thereby forming an electrical connection between the first and second electrical extension cords;
• positioning the sleeve relative to the electrical connection such that the electrical connection is located within the sleeve;
• and
• sealing the sleeve around the electrical connection by pressing the edge of each sleeve opening against itself such that each opening is sealed closed, thereby temporarily sealing the electrical connection inside the sleeve.
