According to a preferred embodiment, the electronic device is a mobile cellular telephone (e.g., that known commercially as an iPhone) and the output jack thereof is a headphone jack. The plug includes a cylindrical body and a relatively narrow pointed tip to be received inwardly of the output jack. A relatively wide blocking head extends across the plug body so as to lie flush against and in direct contact with the exterior of the electronic device. A handle stands outwardly from the blocking head to be grasped by the fingers of a user at which to receive a pushing or pulling force to be applied to the plug body. One end of the flexible attachment is tied to the plug at the handle so that the electronic device can be carried and suspended from the attachment. | 09-09-2010 |

The wire-lock apertures of the wire connector housing are all covered and insulated to prevent electrical shock from the electrical leakage through the exposed apertures. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110136359 | GUITAR END PIN JACK PLUG - A guitar end pin jack plug device is described which is mated with an end pin jack while the electrical plug is not mated with the end pin jack, for the purpose of preventing a support strap from coming off of the end pin jack. The present invention has a shaft which is inserted into and is retained by the end pin jack. The present invention also has a head which is of sufficient diameter to prevent the opening in the strap from coming completely off of the end pin jack. The present invention is much simpler than the prior art and is less subject to becoming ineffective over time as it is used and worn as compared to the prior art. While the present invention is described as being used on guitar end pin jacks, it is not limited to use with guitars. The present invention may be used on any article with similar jacks and support straps. | 06-09-2011 |
