Claims7
A holder device for holding control members having electrical cords of differing diameters to hospital beds, furniture, or shelving comprising:
- a. an elongated flexible and positionable member having a head end and a foot end;
- b. a head member formed from a di-electric material connected to the head end of said elongated member formed with a plurality of slots of differing selected widths adapted for holding a plurality of said electrical cords of selected differing diameters;
- c. said slots are defined by parallel side walls extending from the outer perimeter of said head to a generally circular opening positioned inwardly from said perimeter head;
- d. the distances between each of said parallel side walls is selected to forcibly accept an electrical cord of standard diameter and to reject all cords not of said selected standard diameter;
- e. said generally circular openings are dimensioned to frictionally hold said electrical cords of different standard sizes in a frictional grip to prevent slippage therethrough after positioning and have diameters slightly greater than the widths of said slots with which they connect;
- and
- f. connection means connected to the foot end of said elongated member adapted for attachment to said hospital beds, furniture or shelving.
