Patent number: 6179665Abstract: An outlet strip having a cable manager arranged to permit organization of power cables coupled to device receptacles in the outlet strip housing. The cable manager may be positioned at an end of an elongated outlet strip having device receptacles positioned along greater than two surfaces of the outlet strip housing. Alternatively, the cable manager may include a plurality of cable management devices, each device preferably positioned adjacent an associated device receptacle. Various electronic device receptacles, such as electrical plug receptacles, and communication data line jack receptacles, are provided on the outlet strip. Preferably, the electrical plug receptacles are arranged to permit each electrical plug receptacle to accept a transformer block without interfering with access to an adjacent receptacle. Marking elements, each corresponding to a different cable management device, may be provided to identify the device receptacle to which a power cable marked therewith is coupled.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 1998Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Curtis Computer Products, Inc.Inventors: Jon R.

Patent number: 6123568Abstract: A cable connector assembly having a cable terminating in a molded end and a cable-orienting device shaped and configured to bend the cable with respect to the molded end. Preferably, the cable-orienting device is in the form of a tubular body formed to maintain the cable at any desired angle and orientation with respect to the molded end. The cable-orienting device preferably is easily removable and insertable over the cable such that the cable-orienting device may be removed, or its position along the cable or orientation with respect to the cable may be adjusted. Moreover, the cable-orienting device may be rotatable once positioned over the cable to vary the orientation of the cable with respect to the molded end.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Curtis Computer Products, Inc.Inventors: Bradford Royce Bullough, Richard Dare McCloskey, Jr.

Patent number: 5629826Abstract: An inexpensive, compact, portable, retractable cord, visual indicator, electrical/telephone connector-type surge protector, which comprises a housing composed of a molded plastic, with two female receiving grounding inlets on its upper surface, a visual indicator light, and a pair of female telephone inlets on one side. On another side, the housing has two openings for a retractable electrical extension cord and a retractable telephone cord. On the opposite side of the housing are two independent, retaining, on-off switches for the two cords. The housing is composed of two sections, an upper and lower section, with an inner spring coil mechanism on two independent reels in each section for the electrical and telephone cords respectively. The invention is designed to be used with standard electrical apparatus or other sensitive electrical devices, which are to be protected from electrical surges, where extension cords may be required, and allows for the retraction of the cords when not required.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1995Date of Patent: May 13, 1997Assignee: Curtis Computer Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert Roca, Richard J.
