Abstract: A storage device for electrical cords which provides an easy and secure method to contain the cords' length into a small bundle for economy of space and travel is described. By folding the length of cord over itself and inserting the cord into and through an open end of the flexible, semi-rigid hollow cylinder, it is grasped and held by a plurality of inwardly projecting flexible teeth, formed by multiple slits made perpendicular to the interior wall, at the opposite end of the device. In another embodiment, the storage device has the same characteristics but also has an interior wall of prehensile material that further secures the cord in place. Cords can be removed from the device as quickly as they were inserted. Various sizes of the same design are suitable for short and small diameter personal appliance cords, as well as for large industrial electrical cords.

Abstract: A storage device for electrical cords, the storage device formed of an elongated, cylindrical tube having a first open end and a second open end and an interior wall. Disposed in one of the ends are a plurality of inwardly projecting teeth, tabs or fingers that engage the open loops of a folded, bundled cord. Disposed on at least a portion of the interior wall is a webbing or tactile material, thereby further inhibiting the bundled cord from sliding out of the elongated tube. In one embodiment of the invention, the teeth are formed by providing a wall in the end of the tube, which wall is provided with radial slots or slits extending out from the axis of the elongated tube, thereby forming said teeth.
