ABSTRACT:
A cord clasp is disclosed for holding together several loops or folds of an appliance cord in order to keep the cord tidy. The clasp includes two complementary facing jaw members, each having a cord surrounding portion and a handle portion separated by a pivoting ridge. A bias means keeps the jaws or cord surrounding portions together. The jaw members are farther apart at the handle portions than at the closure point of the cord surrounding portions. The jaw members are quite wide and have complementary shaped front edges. The shape of the clasp enables the cords to be grasped or held securely when only a small number of cord loops are gathered or when a large number of cord loops are gathered. The cords will also be held even if the cord surrounding portions do not come completely together. Also disclosed is a molding process for a preferred embodiment wherein a mold for a handle segment can be employed with a selected mold for a jaw-member segment to permit the handle mold to be adapted for use with jaw-member segment molds of varying lengths.
