Abstract
A wall-mounted rack for flexible electrical cords. The rack includes a pair of parallel, laterally spaced, vertically aligned, post members interconnected by at least one horizontally disposed interconnecting member having a medial portion adapted to facilitate attachment of the rack to a wall. Electrical cords are accordion-folded and slidably inserted into a tubular member that is labeled to identify the specific cord stored therein. Peg members mounted on the posts support opposite ends of the folded cords so that the labeled tubular members are attractively suspended between the post members.
Claims6
An organizer rack for electrical cords, comprising:
- a first elongate post member;
- said first post member being mounted to a wall means;
- a first plurality of peg members disposed in equidistantly spaced relation to one another along the extent of said first post member;
- said first plurality of peg members lying in a common vertical plane orthogonal to a plane of said wall means;
- said first plurality of peg members being disposed upwardly at a common predetermined angle relative to a horizontal plane;
- a second elongate post member mounted to said wall means in laterally spaced, parallel relation to said first post member;
- a second plurality of peg members disposed in equidistantly spaced relation to one another along the extent of said second post member;
- said second plurality of peg members lying in a common vertical plane orthogonal to a plane of said wall means;
- said second plurality of peg members being disposed upwardly at a common predetermined angle relative to a horizontal plane;
- said first and second post members being vertically disposed;
- means for securing said first and second post members to said wall means;
- a plurality of truncate tubular members;
- and
- said plurality of tubular members being equal to one-half the number of said peg members;
- whereby a plurality of electrical cord means that have been folded at equidistant intervals along their respective extents are slidably inserted into a hollow interior of an associated tubular member;
- and
- whereby opposite ends of electrical cords that have been folded at substantially equidistant intervals along their extent are releasably engageable to said peg members.
An organizer rack, comprising:
- a plurality of tube members;
- a pair of laterally spaced post members disposed in parallelism to one another;
- said post members being secured to a wall means in vertical disposition;
- a different elongate flexible cord means, folded at substantially equidistant intervals along its extent, disposed in preselected tube members so that opposite portions of said cord means are disposed externally of said tube members;
- said opposite portions of said cord means being formed in a looped fashion by reason of said folding;
- a plurality of equidistantly and vertically spaced peg members secured to both of said post members, each of said peg members on a first post member being disposed in horizontal alignment with a corresponding peg member on a second post member;
- each of said peg members projecting outwardly relative to said wall means;
- each of said peg members inclined upwardly relative to a horizontal plane;
- oppositely disposed looped ends of each cord means being removably secured to oppositely disposed, corresponding peg members;
- and
- each of said tube members having a longitudinal axis of symmetry disposed in a horizontal plane when said oppositely disposed looped ends of each cord means is secured to an associated peg member.
