  • Patent number: 6175082
    Abstract: A device for controlling the movement of an electrical cord which connects a computer mouse to a computer. The device is made of a shackle made of a partially cylindrical body having flared lips which extend along the shackle body and a mounting structure attached to the shackle. The device shackle attaches to a mouse cord and the device mounting structure is attachable to stationary objects such as mouse pads or desk tops. The device limits the movement of a computer mouse cord to a length necessary to operate a computer mouse while restraining the remaining mouse cord length by allowing the length of mouse cord between the mouse and the shackle to be moved while the length of cord between the shackle and the computer is held stationary by the device.
