Systems and methods for electrical cord storage

A method for providing storage for an electrical cord on a surface of an electrical appliance, the method comprising steps of:

• providing an electrical cord storage device, the electrical cord storage device comprising:
• a base having a first surface shaped to substantially conform to and adapted to be affixed to a surface of an electrical appliance and a second surface opposed to the first surface;
• a post having a first end affixed to the base and extending from the second surface of the base to a second end to form a cord-wrapping structure adapted to receive an electrical cord of the electrical appliance wound thereon;
• and
• a dome affixed to the second end of the post, extending radially away from the post, and curving toward an imaginary plane substantially normal to the post located at the first end of the post, the dome having a scalloped perimeter spaced around the post, the scalloped perimeter having a plurality of grooves that are configured to catch the electrical cord to prevent unintended unwinding of the electrical cord from around the post and to maintain the electrical cord in a desired position;
• and
• affixing the electrical cord storage device to the surface of the electrical appliance.

An electrical cord storage device adapted to be affixed to an electrical appliance, comprising:

• a base having a first surface adapted to be affixed to a surface of an electrical appliance and a second surface opposed to the first surface;
• a post having a first end affixed to the base and extending from the second surface of the base to a second end to form a cord-wrapping structure adapted to receive an electrical cord of the electrical appliance wound thereon;
• and
• a dome affixed to the second end of the post, extending radially away from the post, and curving toward an imaginary plane substantially normal to the post located at the first end of the post, the dome having a scalloped outer-most perimeter spaced around the post, the scalloped outer-most perimeter having a plurality of grooves that are configured to catch the electrical cord to prevent unintended unwinding of the electrical cord from around the post and to maintain the electrical cord in a desired position, wherein a diameter of the dome is greater than a diameter of the base, and wherein the scalloped outer-most perimeter of the dome is spaced apart from the imaginary plane by a distance, thereby forming a 360 degree gap between the scalloped outer-most perimeter of the dome and the imaginary plane, the 360 degree gap being configured to permit entry of the electrical cord between the scalloped outer-most perimeter of the dome and base.
