Electrical cord holder

Claim 1

An electrical cord holder comprised of an integral body of polypropylene having front, rear, top and bottom portions and including: (a) a strap integrally extending from said rear portion, (b) said body having first and second transverse slots passing from the bottom to the top of said body between the front and rear portions, and (c) a projection extending forwardly from the front of said body, (d) said strap forming a small loop and thence passing up through said first slot and thence forming a large loop and thence passing back down through said second slot, (e) an end section of the strap having a series of projection receiving openings so that said end section after passing through said second slot can be turned upwardly past the front portion of said body and said projection received in one of said openings, the opposite side walls of said first slot having inwardly and upwardly directed sawtooth serrations and the opposite sides of a portion only of said strap passing through said first slot having outwardly and downwardly directed sawtooth serrations, the remaining portions of the strap being free of serrations, such that the sawtooth serrations on the slot and on the strap portion will interlock and prevent downward movement of the strap through said first slot whereby an end portion of an electrical cord can be passed through said small loop and said small loop contracted about the end portion by pulling the strap upwardly through the first slot thereby securing the body to said end portion of said electrical cord so that it becomes permanently attached and is always available for use, and, whereby thereafter the remaining portion of the electrical cord can be wound up and held in said large loop, pulling of the end section of said strap down through said second slot contracting the large loop about the wound up remaining portion of the cord and subseuuently passing the projection through a juxtaposed opening in said strap section holding the large loop in its contracted state to thereby secure the electrical cord in its wound up configuration for easy storage.
