Abstract
An adapter for a twist-lock extension cord in which the adapter replaces the female plug-end of the extension cord. The adapter has a face plate in which are formed three curved cutouts for receiving the three curved electrodes of a twist-lock male plug. There are also provided on the face plate two straight cutouts for receiving the two electrodes of a standard household male plug. One of the curved cutouts is ground, and also receives the ground of the standard household-type male plug. Three terminals are provided, one associated with the ground cutout, and each of the other two associated with a pair of one curved and one straight cutout. A clamp secures the exposed wires of the extension cord to the adapter for connection to the terminals, thereby converting the extension cord to one that receives not only twist-lock male plugs but also standard household-type male plugs.
