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 9):
A power cord with a casing fixed on an end of the power cord, the casing including:\n two shells hinged together on one side of the casing, to move between an open and closed condition; a lock to hold the shells together in the closed condition; an opening in one end of the casing configured to receive a cable of the power cord; a port formed in an opposite end of the casing for a cable of an other power cord; and an internal bay in which a socket connector of the power cord is mounted, the internal bay configured to accommodate a plug connector of the other power cord when connected to the socket connector; wherein the casing further includes a grip mechanism mounted in each of the shells, each of the grip mechanisms including a spring biased grip member, the grip members being biased against the other power cord as the casing is closed and locked, the grip members further being pivotally mounted to rotate toward each other in response to axially applied pull-out tension on the other power cord so as to apply increased grip pressure to clamp the other power cord to resist the other power cord being pulled through the grip members.
