Cord management sleeve

In combination, a cord management sleeve and a cord folded in juxtaposed segments with said juxtaposed segments being enclosed in said cord management sleeve;

• said cord management sleeve comprising;
• first and second hollow tubular shells;
• said first hollow tubular shell having a first entire length and said second hollow tubular shell having a second entire length;
• said first entire length being longer than said second entire length;
• said second hollow tubular shell being coaxially and movably mounted over a central segment of said first hollow tubular shell such that a first end portion of said first hollow tubular shell extending beyond a first end of said second hollow tubular shell relative to said central segment and a second end portion of said first hollow tubular shell extending beyond a second end of said second hollow tubular shell relative to said central segment;
• said first end portion being opposite from said second end portion relative to said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell, and said first end being opposite from said second end relative to said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell;
• each of said first and second hollow tubular shells having a C-shaped cross-section;
• a projection of said C-shaped cross-section in said first hollow tubular shell along said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell being uniform along said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell, and defining a first slot extending there through along said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell, and a projection of said C-shaped cross-section in said second hollow tubular shell along said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell being uniform along said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell and defining a second slot extending there through, along said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell,
• said first and second slots being movable relative to each other by rotation of said first and second hollow tubular shells relative to each other, for selectively aligning said first and second slots with each other for inserting said juxtaposed segments of said cord inside said first and second hollow tubular shells or for setting off an alignment of said first and second slots relative to each other for securing said juxtaposed segments of said cord inside said first and second hollow tubular shells;
• and
• said juxtaposed segments being enclosed inside said first and second hollow tubular shells, with said second slot in said second hollow tubular shell being set off an alignment of said first slot in said first hollow tubular shell for retaining said juxtaposed segments inside said cord management sleeve.

A method of tidying up an electric cord, comprising the steps of;

• providing a cord management sleeve comprising;
• first and second hollow tubular shells;
• said first hollow tubular shell having a first entire length and said second hollow tubular shell having a second entire length;
• said first entire length being longer than said second entire length;
• said second hollow tubular shell being coaxially and movably mounted over a central segment of said first hollow tubular shell such that a first end portion of said first hollow tubular shell extending beyond a first end of said second hollow tubular shell relative to said central segment and a second end portion of said first hollow tubular shell extending beyond a second end of said second hollow tubular shell relative to said central segment;
• said first end portion being opposite from said second end portion relative to said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell, and said first end being opposite from said second end relative to said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell;
• each of said first and second hollow tubular shells having a C-shaped cross-section;
• a projection of said C-shaped cross-section in said first hollow tubular shell along said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell being uniform along said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell, and defining a first slot extending there through, along said first entire length of said first hollow tubular shell, and a projection of said C-shaped cross-section in said second hollow tubular shell along said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell being uniform along said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell and defining a second slot extending there through, along said second entire length of said second hollow tubular shell, and
• while holding said first hollow tubular shell by one of said end portions, rotating said second hollow tubular shell about said first hollow tubular shell for aligning said first slot in said first hollow tubular shell with said second slot in said second hollow tubular shell;
• folding said electrical cord in several juxtaposed segments forming loops of similar lengths,
• inserting said juxtaposed segments through said first and second slots and into said first and second hollow tubular shells;
• and
• while holding said first hollow tubular shell by one of said end portions, rotating said second hollow tubular shell about said first hollow tubular shell for setting off an alignment of said first slot in said first hollow tubular shell from said second slot in said second hollow tubular shell for retaining said juxtaposed segments inside said first and second hollow tubular shells;
• and
• pulling on said loops and arranging said juxtaposed segments in a bow-tie-like arrangement inside said cord management sleeve.
