Abstract

An electrical cord retention device incorporates a spiral coiled wall having a solid first portion extending from a first longitudinally extending edge commencing the spiral and a slotted second portion extending from a termination of the solid first portion substantially to a second longitudinally extending edge terminating the spiral.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electrical cord retention device comprising:
 a spiral coiled wall having
 a solid first portion extending from a first longitudinally extending edge commencing the spiral; and 
 a slotted second portion extending from a termination of the solid first portion substantially to a second longitudinally extending edge terminating the spiral. 
   
     
     
         2 . The electrical cord retention device as defined in  claim 1  further comprising a solid rim proximate the second longitudinally extending edge, said slotted second portion terminating at the solid rim. 
     
     
         3 . The electrical cord retention device as defined in  claim 1  wherein the solid first portion and slotted second portion are of substantially equal area. 
     
     
         4 . The electrical cord retention device as defined in  claim 1  wherein the slotted second portion has fines with open areas intermediate the tines, said slotted portion having approximately ½ the area in the tines as compared to the open area of the slots. 
     
     
         5 . The electrical cord retention device as defined in  claim 2  wherein the solid rim may be resiliently urged outward from a central axis to expand the spiral coiled wall. 
     
     
         6 . The electrical cord retention device as defined in  claim 1  wherein the spiral coiled wall has a profile with a first diameter at lateral ends of the wall and a second diameter at a waist, said first diameter greater than said second diameter. 
     
     
         7 . The electrical cord retention device as defined in  claim 1  wherein the sheath is molded from polymer plastic.
