ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a textile cloth-like strip of material such as NYLON CORDURA, having substantially two parallel longitudinal edges; two strips of a male hook latch material, each one of the strips of the male hook latch material being separated by a space from one another and sewn onto the textile cloth-like strip of material having the longitudinal edges of the strip of fabric material and the space between the two strips of male hook latch material and form a channel for accommodating electrical cords. More specifically the textile cloth-like material with male hook latch material is applied independently, to loop carpet floors without the use of the female hook latch material and lays flat over electrical cords, securing electrical cords to carpet to protect against trip hazards and protect carpet and cords from adhesive residue from taping as well as maintaining electric cords neatly arranged.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In general, electrical cords on loop carpet floors are usually left unattended or are taped to carpeted floors to secure cords from being disconnected by being stepped on or tripped over. An objective of this invention is to eliminate trip hazards that result when electrical cords are present on walking surfaces of loop carpet floors by laying the textile cloth-like strip of material with male hook latch material flat over electrical cords on loop carpeted floors. Another objective of this invention is the protection of carpet assets and electrical cords from adhesive residue.
Unattended and unsecured electric cords on loop carpet floors present a potentially dangerous hazard. An important objective of this invention is to provide a means of securing electrical cords onto loop carpet floors and surfaces, eliminating the need of taping electric cords or placing barriers to warn against the danger of tripping hazards caused by electric cords. Prior to this invention methods for securing electric cords onto loop carpet floors and surfaces include taping or placing hazard warning barriers to warn against tripping hazards. Taping electric cords onto carpeted floors and surfaces causes deterioration of carpet assets, and produces unsightly and unhealthy adhesive residue on electric cords and carpets. Hazard barriers are often difficult to locate thereby deterring from identifying the trip hazard. This invention relates to a textile cloth-like strip of material having substantially two parallel longitudinal edges; two strips of a male hook latch material, each one of the strips of the male hook latch material being separated by a space from one another and sewn onto the strip of material having the longitudinal edges of the strip of material, and the space between the two strips of male hook latch material is without hook latch material and form a channel for accommodating electrical cords. More specifically the textile cloth-like strip of material with male hook latch material is applied directly and independently over electric cords on loop carpeted floors and surfaces, to protect against trip hazards and protect carpet and cords from adhesive residue from taping, as well as maintaining cords neatly arranged.
Still another important objective and advantage of this invention is that it provides a safe, clean, reusable method for securing electrical cords to loop carpet floors and surfaces, unlike the taping method that leaves adhesive residue on electric cords and carpeted floors and surfaces and causes inordinate costs associated with cleaning, and carpet asset replacement. Cleaning adhesive residue left by taping electric cords on carpets is labor intensive.
