An electric cord reel fixture for installation on an electric outlet box, comprising a mounting plate, a housing, a reel pivotally mounted within the housing, and an extension cord wound on the reel. The cord reel fixture further comprises a plug and socket connector to energize the cord wound on the reel, and to lock the reel in a fixed relationship with the mounting plate to prevent accidental rewind of the cord when electrical power is applied to it. The plug and socket connector is of the explosion proof type whereby the cord reel fixture complies to a first requirement for a certification thereof for use in hazardous environments. The plug and socket connector comprises an "ON" button, an "OFF" button, and a flip-flop link between both buttons. Both buttons are operated by a pushing motion. The interference of an engagement of the plug and the socket connector is a relatively tight fit whereby a connecting or disconnecting of the plug and socket connector is not done unintentionally. Such an interlocking of the electrical connection to the cord complies to a second requirement for a certification of an explosion proof electrical device.
