Abstract
In one aspect of the present disclosure, a flexible cord management device is provided. The device includes a helical coil base, an s-loop, and a post. The base can be wrapped around at least a portion of a bundled cord. The s-loop includes a first loop and a second loop, where the first loop is coupled to a first end of the base. The first loop can be opened to receive a first end of the bundled cord, such that, the first end of the bundled cord is securely disposed through the first loop. The second loop is coupled to the first loop. The post extends from the first end of the base and can be inserted through the second loop to secure the first loop in a closed position and removed from the second loop to enable the first loop to achieve an open position.
Claims20
A cord management device, comprising:
- a helical coil base including a first end and a second end, the helical coil base configured to be wrapped around at least a portion of a bundled cord;
- a first loop coupled to the first end of the helical coil base, the first loop defining a first aperture, the first loop configured to be opened to receive a first end of the bundled cord, such that, the first end of the bundled cord is securely disposed through the first aperture;
- a second loop coupled to the first loop;
- and
- a securing member configured to secure the second loop to the helical coil base to secure the first loop in a closed position.
A cord management device, comprising:
- a helical coil base including a first end and a second end, the helical coil base configured to be wrapped around at least a portion of a bundled cord;
- an s-loop including a first loop and a second loop;
- the first loop coupled to the first end of the helical coil base, the first loop defining a first aperture, the first loop configured to be opened to receive a first end of the bundled cord, such that, the first end of the bundled cord is securely disposed through the first aperture;
- the second loop coupled to the first loop and defining a second aperture;
- and
- a post coupled to the first end of the helical coil base and extending from the helical coil base, such that, the post is configured to be inserted into the second aperture to secure the first loop in a closed position and released from the second aperture to allow the first loop to achieve an open position.
A cord management device, comprising:
- a unitary strand of flexible material configured to be formed in a predetermined shape, the unitary strand of flexible material including a first portion and a second portion;
- the first portion including a first end and a second end, the first portion formed in a helical coil shape including one or more turns in a first direction;
- the second portion formed in an s-loop shape, the s-loop shape including a first loop and a second loop, the first loop coupled to the first end of the first portion and rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction, such that, the first loop is disposed adjacent to the first portion, the second loop coupled to the first loop and rotated in the first direction;
- and
- a post coupled to the first end of the first portion, the post extending from the first end of the first portion, such that, the post is configured to be inserted into the second loop to secure the first loop in a closed position.
