Abstract: A cord holder, comprising an elongate cylinder, suitable for receiving an electrical cord or rope, and an elongate bracket affixed to or integral with the outer surface of the elongate cylinder, is disclosed. The cylinder and the bracket are formed of a rigid material (e.g., a plastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride). The bracket is circular and terminates in a pair of longitudinal rails that lie parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. Mounted across one end of the rails is a slotted plate adapted to receive a screw, peg, nail or the like. Depending upon intended use, the elongate cylinder may be: longitudinally hinged and support an apertured block, adapted to receive the prong of a heat control element attached to an electrical cord; only longitudinally hinged; or unitary. The longitudinally hinged forms of the elongate cylinder include a catch adapted to attach the hinged elements together.
