ANTI-KINK CONTROL FOR ELECTRICAL CORDS

摘要

AN ANTI-KINK CONTROL FOR ELECTRICAL CORDS An anti-kink control for an electric cord wherein the cord has relatively flat top and bottom surfaces and relatively round side surfaces. The anti-kink control includes a series of washers assembled on the cord in closely spaced co-axial relation. A first pair of washers are joined by a first axially extending finger along each side of the cord. A next washer adjacent to one of the pair of washers is joined to the one of the pair of washers by a second axially extending finger along the top and bottom surfaces of said cord. The assembled washers form a sleeve about the cord. The space along the side surfaces between adjacent washers joined along the top and bottom surfaces is relatively larger than the space along the top and bottom surfaces between adjacent washers joined along the side surfaces.
