<p>A boot for an electrical plug or socket connector is provided in the form of a resilient tubular sheath. The midportion of the sheath conforms closely to a portion of the body of the connector. The boot has an end portion tapered to fit about a cord extending from the connector and provides a seal against the cord surface. The other end of the boot has a diameter slightly less than than of the midportion of the boot, and extends from the end of the body of the plug when the latter is positioned. The boot is generally coextensive with the body of the socket. The resiliency of the material of the boot permits the automatic overlapping of the smaller diameter sections over the other to form an effective seal at their juncture against outside environments.</p> |
