Abstract

An organizing system for an electrical clipper having a housing with side walls, a top and bottom surface, and an inner cavity, the top surface is removably attached to a side wall via an attachment means, a spring-loaded cord spool in the inner cavity having an axle around which a cord of a clipper can be wrapped and rotates to wind or unwind the cord, a bottom end of the axle removably engages a spool mounting component in the bottom surface of the housing, a cord slot allowing a cord of a clipper to penetrate the housing in a side wall, a release button on a top end of the axle protrudes through a hole in the top surface and is pressed to wind the cord of the clipper, and a power strip in the inner cavity of the housing has a cord that protrudes through the housing.

Claims (21)

1. An organizing system 100 for an electrical clipper 105 , said system 100 comprising:

(a) a housing 110 having side walls, a top surface 115 , a bottom surface 116 , and an inner cavity 118 , the top surface 115 is removably attached to at least one side wall via an attachment means;

(b) a spring-loaded cord spool 140 disposed in the inner cavity 118 of the housing 110 , the spring-loaded cord spool 140 comprises an axle 114 around which a cord 104 of a clipper 105 can be wrapped, a bottom end of the axle 114 removably engages a spool mounting component 150 disposed in the bottom surface 116 of the housing 110 , the spring-loaded cord spool 140 can rotate in a first direction winding the cord 104 and a second direction unwinding the cord 105 ;

(c) a cord slot 180 disposed in a first side wall 111 of the housing 110 , the cord slot 180 extends from a top edge 111 a of the first side wall 111 downwardly toward the bottom surface 116 of the housing 110 , the cord slot 180 allows a cord 104 of a clipper 105 to penetrate the housing 110 ;

(d) a release button 240 is disposed on a top end of the axle 144 of the spring-loaded cord spool 140 , when the release button 240 is pressed the spring-loaded cord spool 140 rotates in the first direction so as to wind the cord 104 of the clipper 105 ;

(e) a button hole 128 disposed in the top surface 115 of the housing 110 , the button hole 128 is aligned with the release button 240 of the spring-loaded cord spool 140 , the release button 240 protrudes through the button hole 128 ; and

(f) a power strip 160 disposed in the inner cavity 118 of the housing, the power strip 160 has a power strip cord 166 that protrudes through the housing 110 .

2. The system 100 of claim 1 , wherein the attachment means comprises a snap mechanism, a clip mechanism, a magnet mechanism, a latch mechanism, a hinge mechanism, or a combination thereof.

3. The system 100 of claim 1 further comprising mounting holes 119 disposed in the bottom surface 116 of the housing 110 , the mounting holes allow the housing 110 to be secured to a surface.

4. The system 100 of claim 1 further comprising a clamp 119 a disposed on the housing, the clamp 119 a allows the housing 110 to be secured to a structure.

5. The system 100 of claim 1 comprising two spring-loaded cord spools 140 .

6. The system 100 of claim 1 comprising three spring-loaded cord spools 140 .

7. The system 100 of claim 1 comprising four spring-loaded cord spools 140 .

8. The system 100 of claim 1 further comprising a sanitizer box 210 having an open top, an inner cavity 218 of the sanitizer box 210 is adapted to hold a clipper head 105 a of a clipper 105 .

9. An organizing system 100 for an electrical clipper 105 , said system 100 consisting of:

(a) a housing 110 having side walls, a top surface 115 , a bottom surface 116 , and an inner cavity 118 , the top surface 115 is removably attached to at least one side wall via an attachment means;

(b) a spring-loaded cord spool 140 disposed in the inner cavity 118 of the housing 110 , the spring-loaded cord spool 140 consisting of an axle 114 around which a cord 104 of a clipper 105 can be wrapped, a bottom end of the axle 114 removably engages a spool mounting component 150 disposed in the bottom surface 116 of the housing 110 , the spring-loaded cord spool 140 can rotate in a first direction winding the cord 104 and a second direction unwinding the cord 105 ;

(c) a cord slot 180 disposed in a first side wall 111 of the housing 110 , the cord slot 180 extends from a top edge 111 a of the first side wall 1 H downwardly toward the bottom surface 116 of the housing 110 , the cord slot 180 allows a cord 104 of a clipper 105 to penetrate the housing 110 ;

(d) a release button 240 is disposed on a top end of the axle 144 of the spring-loaded cord spool 140 , when the release button 240 is pressed the spring-loaded cord spool 140 rotates in the first direction so as to wind the cord 104 of the clipper 105 ;

(e) a button hole 128 disposed in the top surface 115 of the housing 110 , the button hole 128 is aligned with the release button 240 of the spring-loaded cord spool 140 , the release button 240 protrudes through the button hole 128 ; and

(f) a power strip 160 disposed in the inner cavity 118 of the housing, the power strip 160 has a power strip cord 166 that protrudes through the housing 110 .
