Abstract:
A rotating retention fixture for preventing the undesired removal of an electrical cable from a power strip includes a pronged clip, a first bracket, a second bracket each rotatable about a central axis and a fastener that restricts rotation between the first rotatable bracket and the second rotatable bracket. In order to prevent the undesired removal of the electrical cable from the power strip, the electrical cable may be inserted into the pronged clip, the rotating retention fixture may be positioned such that a bottom surface of the pronged clip is adjacent to the electrical cable, a first bracket and a second bracket of the rotating retention fixture may be rotated about the central axis to contact opposing sides of the power strip, respectively, and the fastener may be engaged to prevent rotation between the first bracket and the second bracket to retain the electrical cable to the power strip.
