Abstract

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.

Claims (24)

1. A cord management device, comprising:

a flexible substratum having a top surface and a bottom surface, the substratum adapted to flex at least 45 degrees to create a concavity towards the bottom surface;

a first hook disposed on the top surface of the substratum; and

a second hook disposed on the top surface of the substratum in spaced configuration from the first hook.

2. The cord management device of claim 1 , further including a receptacle secured between the pair of outwardly facing hooks, the receptacle having two or more apertures adapted to receive prongs extending from a plug end of an electrical cord.

3. The cord management device of claim 1 , further including an adhesive on the bottom surface of the substratum, thereby allowing the device to be secured to an object in need of a cord management device.

4. The cord management device of claim 1 , further including a plurality of magnets on the bottom surface of the substratum, thereby allowing the device to be secured to an object in need of a cord management device.

5. A cord management device, comprising:

a flexible substratum having a top surface and a bottom surface, the substratum adapted to flex to create a concave curve with respect to the bottom surface of the substratum;

a first hook disposed on the top surface of the substratum;

a second hook disposed on the top surface of the substratum in spaced configuration from the first hook; and

a receptacle disposed on the top surface of the substratum, the receptacle having two or more apertures adapted to receive prongs extending from a plug end of an electrical cord.

6. The cord management device of claim 5 , further including an adhesive on the bottom surface of the substratum, thereby allowing the device to be secured to an object in need of a cord management device.

7. The cord management device of claim 5 , further including a plurality of magnets on the bottom surface of the substratum, thereby allowing the device to be secured to an object in need of a cord management device.

8. The cord management device of claim 5 , further including the receptacle having a first surface containing the two or more apertures and a second surface free of apertures, wherein the second surface is closer to one of the hooks than the first surface.

9. The cord management device of claim 5 , further including the receptacle permanently secured to the top surface of the substratum.

10. A cord management device, comprising:

a flexible substratum having a top surface and a bottom surface, the substratum adapted to flex to create a concave curve with respect to the bottom surface of the substratum; and

three or more hooks disposed on the top surface of the substratum in a spaced relation from each other; and

a receptacle disposed on the top surface of the substratum, the receptacle having two or more apertures adapted to receive prongs extending from a plug end of an electrical cord.

11. The cord management device of claim 10 , further including an adhesive on the bottom surface of the substratum, thereby allowing the device to be secured to an object in need of a cord management device.

12. The cord management device of claim 10 , further including a plurality of magnets on the bottom surface of the substratum, thereby allowing the device to be secured to an object in need of a cord management device.

13. The cord management device of claim 10 , further including the receptacle permanently secured to the top surface of the substratum.

14. The cord management device of claim 10 , further including three or more hooks equidistantly spaced in a non-linear fashion.
