Abstract:
A casing for connecting first and second power cords, the casing having a set of grip mechanisms with facing grip members that have serrated surfaces arranged to grip the first power cord and provide increased grip pressure in response to tension applied to the first power cord in order to resist the first power cord being pulled through the grip members and out of the casing.

Claim (Index 1):
A casing for clamping onto a power cord, the casing comprising:\n first and second shells with a hinge to connect respective first sides of the shells and a latch to mechanically connect a second side of one of the shells, the casing including a port to receive the power cord; wherein each of the first and second shells has a grip mechanism, in opposing relation, to grip opposite sides of the power cord, and each of the grip mechanisms includes a grip member and a biasing element that exerts a bias force to urge the grip member away from a base of the corresponding shell and toward the power cord; wherein each of the grip members is able to deflect toward the base of the corresponding shell, against the bias force, when subject to a lateral closing force as the shells are closed together in order to accommodate the power cord; and wherein the grip members are configured to rotate toward the power cord in response to axially applied pull-out tension on the power cord so as to clamp the power cord to resist the cord being pulled through the grip members.
