Abstract

A Power Cord Retainer is disclosed for retaining a power cord in an electrical receptacle even when the cord is subjected to an extraction force. The retainer comprises a substantially flat rear panel having a left side, right side and top side that define a u-shaped interior midsection. Opposing side panels extend forward of the rear panel and include an outwardly extending clip having a hooked end adaptable for engagement and securement of a power cord plug in a receptacle. The u-shaped interior midsection is adaptable for engagement between an electrical enclosure exterior panel and a receptacle lip extension.
