DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] The following is a detailed description of example embodiments of the invention depicted in the accompanying drawings. The example embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the invention. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. The detailed descriptions below are designed to make such embodiments obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 1-7, the invention is a conical shaped device 101 that has two semi-conical pieces working as a holder or organizer of electrical cords, wiring, rope, etc. The device minimizes cord hang-ups on things like chairs, corners, etc. The device is made of very lightweight plastic, and uses metal screws 104 to couple the two semi-conical pieces of the holder.

[0028] Furthermore, the device that is described in the invention conceals the shape of a power cord or/and the like formed objects to allow it to be poured, pulled, or rolled over and around objects. The device provides easier movement and faster retrieval of cord and prevents the loosening of the cord ends. The embodiment of the device shown and described has the following dimensions (however the dimensions of which are not necessarily optimal): size: 1*3; shape: cone shaped; weight: one gram to an ounce; dimensions: 1*3; material: plastic, metal screws and rubber sleeves.

[0029] FIG. 1 is shows an outline of the device. FIG. 1 describes that the length of the device can be of 3 and might have a height of 1 without holding any electrical cord, wiring, rope, or other similar objects. It also shows the metal screw 104 and screw holes 105 for holding the screws. FIG. 2 illustrates the two semi-conical pieces along with the screws 103 with either respective screw-hole 104 on either side. FIG. 3 shows a rubber sleeve 102 that might be used to bundle the electrical cord, wiring, rope and the like formed objects in the device. The rubber sleeve may be of 2 length. FIG. 4 describes one of the two semi-conical pieces of the device, which shows the diameter of the space to fit the electrical cord, wiring, rope and the like formed objects of 12 gauge in the inner surface of the device. Furthermore, a rubber sleeve can be used to fit 14 or 16 gauge electrical cord, wiring, rope and the like formed objects. Additionally, FIG. 5 describes that the two semi conical pieces of the device are separated from each other to house the electrical cord, wiring, rope and the like formed objects and then the two pieces are placed over the codes or wirings, rope etc. FIG. 6 illustrates the interlocking of the two pieces of the device with the metal screws to conceal or shorten the size of the electrical cord, wiring, rope, or other objects that would be placed inside of the device.

[0030] The current invention is an elongated cone shaped holder to a bundle of electrical cord, wiring, rope, and other objects. Furthermore, the elongated cone shaped holder is comprised of at least two semi-conical parts, at least two inter-locking mechanism on each side of said holder that are used to secure said semi-conical parts to each other to form said elongated conical shape to hold the electrical cord, wiring, or rope, and a rubber sizing sleeve for covering the joints and insulation in electrical cord, wiring, rope, and other similar objects.

[0031] Also, according to the current invention, the elongated cone shaped holder further has a longitudinal axis, an inner surface, an outer surface, and two opposite, open ends, a substantially uniform wall thickness between the opposite ends, and a central portion that is located between the ends with a minimum inner diameter that is sufficiently large to permit such a bundle to pass axially through said holder and is sufficiently small to permit said holder firmly grip the bundle while permitting it to be easily removed from said holder.

[0032] Furthermore, the body of the cord holder is configured to receive, in said longitudinal passageway, a bundle of cord.

[0033] Moreover, the inter-locking mechanism in the elongated cone shaped holder is comprised of at least one or more screws and screw holes in each side of both said semi-conical parts of said elongated cone shaped holder.

[0034] While the invention has been described with reference to an electrical appliance to which a power cord is permanently connected, it will be understood that it may also be used with any cord for any device requiring electrical current for power, communication, or control. Examples of such devices are household appliances, power tools, computers, and telephones and accessories therefor. The utensil may also be used with a removable cord. In addition, it may be used to store a portion of a cord that has been folded into a bundle for the purpose of effectively shortening the cord when it is plugged in; in order to reduce clutter or promote safety, as might be desired for a table lamp. The diameter and flexibility of the cord will influence the diameter of the utensil. For example, a utensil for an electric iron cord will have a larger diameter than a utensil for a computer keyboard cord, which, in turn, will have a larger diameter than a utensil for a telephone cord. Also, longer cords will require a larger utensil diameter.

[0035] Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement that is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiment shown. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention. Therefore, it is manifestly intended that this invention be limited only by the claims and the equivalents thereof.

[0036] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
