Abstract: A telephone cord twist restrainer which is comprised of a rudder-like plate which is attached to a coiled telephone cord by means of slotted holes formed in the plate and by two (2) projections extending from the plate which slidably fit, in opposing directions, within the coils of the telephone cord. The plate extends laterally on a single side beyond the diameter of the coils in lengthwise orientation with the coiled cord, where its extending mass provides stability to the coiled telephone cord both through physical contact at nearby surfaces, and by the location of weight of the plate itself outside of the periphery of the coiled telephone cord. Notches may be formed on the projections so as to provide improved retention within the coiled cord, especially when the coiled telephone cord is extended and stretched out close to its maximum limit.
