Abstract
A cord securement device for maintaining two interconnected electrical plugs in plugged together electrical connection. The device includes first and second eyelets secured to a base member. Each eyelet defines an opening sized to receive a looped portion of each electrical cord extending from the plugged together ends. The looped portion of each cord is urged through one eyelet to engage a hook member secured to the base member. The hook members transfer the strain of connection of the electrical cords from the plugs to the cord securement device. A method is also disclosed which maintains the electrical plugs in plugged together relationship by transferring the strain of connection from the plugs of the electrical cords to the device.
