The document describes a new invention called the Socket Saver that solves the problem of plugs falling out of loose electrical outlets. The inventor, Barry Connelly, came up with the idea after getting frustrated with plugs constantly falling out while vacuuming and using hair dryers. The Socket Saver is a simple device that wedges into outlets to secure plugs. It has proven popular for homeowners and various businesses dealing with loose outlets. Retailers are finding it sells well as an impulse purchase near cash registers.

1. I
t’s interesting when we see a new invention that
is so simple and solves such an annoying and
common problem that we think, “What a great
idea, why didn’t I think of it myself?” Inventions
like the paper clip, or Post-it notes, or Liquid Paper/
White Out, or the Miracle Mop are all simple yet
ingenious.
There is a new invention
that fits in this category – the
Socket Saver™. It is a quick
and easy fix for loose wall
sockets. Vacuum and the
plug falls out? Use a hair
dryer and the plug falls out?
Your electronic devices do
not recharge because of a
loose outlet?
That is what happened for the inventor, Barry
Connelly. Every time he would vacuum the plug
kept falling out. His wife was also very frustrated
because when drying her hair the plug kept falling
out. She had to hold the plug in the socket with
one hand and use the hair dryer with the other.
It was out of this frustration that Connelly came up
with the perfect solution. He designed a device
that could shim up electrical cord plugs and on the
first test he had achieved the ideal solution. Now
a problem with a loose wall socket could be fixed
in seconds. It worked perfectly. One-step: Slide the
Socket Saver over the appliance plug and insert
into your loose wall socket.
Connelly, a professional corporate jet pilot knew he
had a great idea. No need to call an electrician
or handyman. No repair necessary. No circuit
breakers involved. No electrical or mechanical skills
necessary. When the prototype was perfected, the
couple got three patents and a trademark.
When looking at the market for the Socket Saver™
Connelly realized it was huge! It was perfect for
older homes, rental
units, motor homes,
hotels and resorts,
airports, Internet
cafes … or any
location with loose
or worn-out wall
sockets. With sales
across the country
through their
Internet website,
Amazon, and
more recently Ace
Hardware and True
Value, it dawned
on the couple that
the Socket Saver™
was perfect for
vacuum retailers.
After all, this is how
Connelly came up with the
idea. Connelly approached
several vacuum retailers on
the Monterey Peninsula and
they all ordered. Packages of
the Socket Saver™ sold the
first day. Reorders are coming
in.
The Socket Saver™ is proving
to be an excellent Front
of Store/Impulse Buy
near the cash register.
On a clip strip or pegs,
customers see a solution
to their problem and are
purchasing the Socket
Saver™.
The Socket Saver is affordable. Ten in a package
retails for $9.99. Wholesale is designed so that
retailers can more than double their money. For
