ABSTRACT:
A foldable electrical cord assembly (10) that can be quickly and easily folded or unfolded to any length is disclosed. The electrical cord assembly includes an elongated electrical cord (12) having a plug end (14) and an opposed device end (18) and a plurality of alternating sections of hook and loop fastening material (20,22) attached to and spaced along the length of the cord between the plug end and the device end for permitting selective folding of portions of the cord. The cord can be folded between the sections of the fastening material so that adjacent sections of the hook and loop fastening material are interlocked to maintain the cord in its folded position. When it is desired to extend additional length of the cord, a selected number of the sections of the fastening material can be separated to unfold a desired length of the cord.
