  • Patent number: 5619569
    Abstract: A coil cord snarl preventing device comprising, in part, a substantially circular hollow body and an operably joined coil cord fastening member (composed of a somewhat flexible, resilient material such as a low density plastic polyethylene plastic) having an opening through which one end of a retractable coil cord item is slidably inserted thence traversing the entire length of the hollow body, interiorly, and exiting an outlet end thus mostly eliminating tangling conditions commonly associated with coil cord products, thereby preventing a dropping and damaging of telephone base and handset products because of snarled coil cords. The device also enjoys strong advertising or promotional capabilities because of its mountable proximity to the vast number of telephonic units in use universally.
