Abstract
A strain relief for an electrical cord has a body with an opening extending therethrough for accommodating an electrical cord therein. The strain relief replaces a UL knot and establishes a frictional interaction with the cord to prevent sliding relative to the cord. The cord threads through the strain relief with the strain relief forcing the cord to change directions at least once. In one embodiment, a movable bridging member extends from the body proximate to a central opening in the body. In its closed position, the bridging member provides the support around which the electrical cord is looped to change direction. A pair of opposed grippers hold the electrical cord at 90 degrees relative to the axis of the body opening.
