Abstract:
An electrical connection covering apparatus is designed to protect from moisture a connection between a plug of one extension cord and a socket of another extension cord. A plurality of compressible and elastic at least one cross-wise portion(s) are used to form a seal around the cables of the extension cords where they enter the apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing that has at least one aperture. A flap extends across the aperture. The compressibility and elasticity of the diaphragm material is greater than that of the housing material.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus for covering a connection of a first electrical cord including a plug and a cable with a second electrical cord including a socket and a cable, wherein the apparatus comprises:\n a first housing portion; a second housing portion configured to engage with the first housing portion; at least one cross-wise portion including a base that has a fixed position with respect to an interior surface the first housing portion; at least one opposing cross-wise portion including a base that has a fixed position with respect to an interior surface of the second housing portion; and wherein a lateral thickness of the at least one cross-wise portion is greater at a region proximate the interior surface of the first housing portion than at a region distal from the interior surface of the first housing portion; and a lateral thickness of the at least one opposing cross-wise portion is greater at a region proximate the interior surface of the second housing portion than at a region distal from the interior surface of the second housing portion.
