  • Patent number: 11233367
    Abstract: An apparatus for wearing a power cord includes an elongate power cord having a length that extends from a first end having a power connector to a second end having a device connector. The apparatus also includes an elastic component and a housing for holding the power connector and the device connector therein. The apparatus has a wearing configuration and a charging configuration. In the wearing configuration, the device connector and the power connector are disposed in the housing and the apparatus is secured to the user. In the charging configuration, the device connector extends out of the housing and connects to a portable electronic device, and the power connector extends out of the housing and connects to a power supply. In another embodiment, the power cord has a power bank on a first end of the cord rather than a power connector. The power bank is stored inside the housing.
