A cord management device securable to objects lacking a cord management system. An embodiment includes a flexible substratum on which two outwardly facing hooks are secured in a longitudinally spaced manner. An embodiment further includes a receptacle adapted to receiving and temporarily house the prongs on an electrical cord. The flexible substratum preferably includes an adhesive, magnet or fastener to temporarily or permanently secure the device to objects. The device is thereby attachable to an object to aid in the securement of an electrical cord.

A cord holder and organizer is a device for managing electrical cords when not in use. A plurality of cord holders is removably engaged into a plurality of mounting slots that is evenly distributed along an elongated member. The elongated member is rotatably engaged into a storage container that may be utilized to store accessories and items. An electrical cord may be wrapped around at least one cord wrapping member located on the elongated member and then transferred to one of the plurality of cord holders. A plurality of additional mounting slots is located on the elongated member and allows the positioning of the plurality of cord holders on the elongated member to be adjusted as needed. A plurality of wheels positioned on the storage container enables the device itself to be repositioned.

A winding machine (100; 100a, 100b) for wrapping strands of rolled material, such as a bar, a rod, wire or the like, around a reel into coils: a reel (50; 50a, 50b); a base flange (1) defining a first catching recess (6) intended to receive an end of a first strand (17; 17a, 17b); a first cover (9) movable between an open position leaving the first catching recess (6) exposed and a closed position covering the first catching recess (6) to form a closed passage for the end of the first strand (17; 17a, 17b) in order to secure the end of the first strand to the reel (50; 50a, 50b). At least a second element (2) defining a second catching recess (4); and at least a second cover (8) movable between an open position leaving the further catching recess (4) exposed and a closed position covering the second catching recess (4) to form a closed passage for the end of a second strand (27; 27a, 27b) in order to secure the end of the second strand to the reel (50; 50a, 50b).
