  • Patent number: 5669571
    Abstract: An electrical cord storage and dispensing organizer is disclosed for gathering the exiting excess cords of an existing computer, thereby making the appearance around the computer's area neat and organized. Constructed mainly of plastic materials, the present organizer has rectangular shaped housing, and opens in a similar fashion to that of a briefcase. The housing contains a cordwheel, coilspring, lock button, lock spindle, compression spring, latch, and hinges. To use the present invention the latch of the top of the organizer's housing is released and the sides are moved apart in opposite directions. Turning the cordwheel approximately one turn for every foot of cord that needs to be stored within the unit will provide sufficient tension to retract the cord. A lock button holds the cordwheel with coilspring compressed. Taking a computer cord, either power or communication, and double it in half, it is then wrapped around the cord loop and close the unit.
