Abstract
An extension cord connector guard includes a substantially closed housing and reclosable structure for accessing the interior of the housing. A pair of opposed cord access ports are provided in the housing side walls to permit the placement and removal of end portions of extension cords in the housing without interference with the function of the access structure. A child resistant lock structure secures the reclosable structure in the closed position. Cord port size adjustment gates and suitable moisture resistant gaskets are preferably provided to adjust the port dimensions to suit the particular cords which are used and to prevent the entrance of water into the housing interior.
