Abstract:
An adjustable, removable, strap device primarily for use in bundling and holding electrical cords and cables, such as from office equipment or kitchen appliances, in a compact position above the floor or kitchen counter. Such compact, elevated position in an office helps to prevent tripping and in a kitchen keeps the cords off of the wet counter to reduce the risk of electrical shock, and which also provides a neat, tidy appearance. One embodiment of the device includes a flexible strap member having a plurality of headed pins at one end and a plurality of mating holes in the opposite end thereof. The strap member is doubled over on itself and the pins engaged in the holes to form a loop around the cables with the strap member permanently attached to the wall such as by a nail or double-sided adhesive tape, or removably other structure by means of hook and loop type fasteners. Two or more devices can be connected in a linear fashion to form a larger loop, or to form a right angle device with the addition of spaced notches at the edges thereof which engage adjacent pins for support, such as to route the cables vertically from an appliance then horizontally to a wall outlet. Another embodiment of the device has hook and loop fasteners in place of the pins and holes.
