ABSTRACT:
A coiled electrical cord retainer for a flexible stranded electrical cord which has a spring segment (22) with a smaller diameter than a coil of cord (48). The spring segment preferably has four turns and is contiguously attached to the plug end of a cord. The coiled cord is woven into the spirals and holds the coil together. A second embodiment places the spring segment (22) inside the cord's sheath. A third embodiment locates the spring segment (22) integral with the cord and attaches directly to an electrical appliance (54). A fourth embodiment utilizes a short length of cord or pigtail (82) with both a plug (50) and connector (52) on opposed ends. The pigtail (82) plugs into a power cable or extension cord and the coiled cord is retained in the same manner.
