  • Patent number: 6581885
    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. The device includes a flexible strap member having a plurality of headed pins at a top end and a plurality of mating holes in a bottom end thereof. A transverse slot is disposed adjacent the pins toward the bottom end of the flexible strap member. The strap device is used by doubling over on itself and inserting the bottom end through the transverse slot forming a cable support loop. The pins are engaged into the holes to secure the loop around the cables. The strap device is attached to a wall or other such vertical surface using a nail, double-sided adhesive tape, or adhesives.

  • Patent number: 6349904
    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.
