     DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
      This cord coupler allows for connecting male to female or reverse, electrical cords of any nature. Cord connector is made from elastic or strechable, substance, having a tubular design. THE ENDS ARE OPEN&lt; and so constructed as to have a tapered fit. Each end has a slight rolled edge, as to allow for simple rolling up onto itself, for quick effortless connection. The strechable tubular design allows for a tapered fit in the middle section as to allow for more strechable strength, to keep cords connected, held securely, but not permanent in place. This cord connector is of an elastic substance which contours to almost all cords, to create a nearly water tight seal, threfore greatly reducing G.F.I. (Ground Fault Interrupters), trip or disconnect. If this unit is used in a wet, muddy condition, that stepping, or hang-ups, the user would be able to pull the cord free from most all above, and not have a disconnect. The unit is virtually hang-up free because of its elastic properties it dosen&#39;t scratch, or damage finished and non finished surfaces, where as other simular products hang-up, or snag, or do damage because of protruding appendages, or abrasiveness of the material of their construction. This unit can be used with any, or almost any, electrical extension cords, but not limited to only extension cords. Any devise (drill, skill saw, or other power tool) can be picked up without disconnection of power. Where as the strechable substance will retain its original form and keep the matng of electrical connection.  
      Another unique feature of this design, compared to others, is the easy roll up design feature. That keeps cords attached together (semi-permanent) that can endure physical pulling of electrical cord. That allows for some pulling presssure and not have a disconnect, and also retain its original form in the case of excess pulling. Tapered fit in the middle of the unit, to help in mating of male to female extension cords, can have a fiber type substance added to provide more strength and retain connection properties. Environmentally friendly and biodegradable, when produced from natural latex.
