Abstract
A direction indicating cord assembly includes a charge cord that has a first plug that is electrically coupled thereto and a second plug that is electrically coupled thereto. A textured layer is coupled around the charge cord. The textured layer has a smooth texture when the textured layer is rubbed in a first direction running between the second plug and the first plug. Alternatively, the texture layer has a rough texture when the texture layer is rubbed in a second direction running between the first plug and the second plug. In this way a user can use touch to determine the required orientation of the charge cord between an electronic device and a power source.
Claims7
A direction indicating cord assembly having a textured surface for indicating which end of the cord connects to a device and which end of the cord connects to a power source, said assembly comprising:
- a charge cord having a first plug being electrically coupled thereto and a second plug being electrically coupled thereto;
- and
- a textured layer being coupled around said charge cord, said textured layer having a smooth texture when said textured layer is rubbed in a first direction running between said second plug and said first plug, said texture layer having a rough texture when said texture layer is rubbed in a second direction running between said first plug and said second plug.
A direction indicating cord assembly having a textured surface for indicating which end of the cord connects to a device and which end of the cord connects to a power source, said assembly comprising:
- a charge cord having an outer surface, said charge cord having a first plug being electrically coupled thereto and a second plug being electrically coupled thereto, said first plug being positioned on an opposite end of said cord with respect to said second plug, said first plug being selectively plugged into an electronic device, said second plug being selectively plugged into a power source;
- and
- a textured layer being coupled around said charge cord, said textured layer having a smooth texture when said textured layer is rubbed in a first direction running between said second plug and said first plug, said texture layer having a rough texture when said texture layer is rubbed in a second direction running between said first plug and said second plug, said textured layer being positioned around said outer surface of said charge cord, said textured layer having a plurality of fingers each extending outwardly therefrom, each of said fingers having a distal end with respect to said charge cord, each of said fingers angling upwardly from said charge cord having said distal end being directed toward said first plug on said charge cord, each of said fingers being compressed against said textured layer when said textured layer is rubbed in said first direction wherein said textured layer is configured to pose a minimum frictional resistance to being rubbed, each of said fingers being bent toward said second plug when said textured layer is rubbed in said second direction wherein said textured layer is configured to pose a maximum frictional resistance to being rubbed.
