Abstract: A cord storage assembly for retracting an electrical cord when the electrical cord is not in use includes a spool that is movably coupled to an article of medical equipment. A motor is coupled to the spool. The motor moves the spool. An actuator is coupled to the article of medical equipment. The actuator is operationally coupled to the motor. The actuator actuates the motor. The electrical cord is coupled to the spool. The electrical cord extends outwardly from the article of medical equipment. The spool releases the electrical cord so the electrical cord is extendable away from the article of medical equipment. The spool retracts the electrical cord into the article of medical equipment. The electrical cord does not pose a tripping hazard when the article of medical equipment is not in use.
