ABSTRACT:
A system (21) for holding a cord (28, 58) includes a retention device (20) which is adapted to engage a number of elements such as a hooded plug head (22), a handle of a power tool (51), a retainer (62) or a cleat (101). The device (20) includes spaced arms (25, 26) which engage the elements (22, 51, 62 or 101). In the embodiment wherein the element is the hooded plug head (22), the arms (25, 26) may have lugs (38, 39) thereon to engage apertures (42, 43) of the plug head (22) or the arms (25, 26) may be provided with apertures (47, 48) to receive lugs (49) formed on the plug head (22). The lugs (38, 39) and apertures (42, 43) are of the same general predetermined configuration so that when they are aligned with each other, the lugs (38, 39) can pass through the apertures (42, 43) but can thereafter be misaligned so that the device (20) is attached to the plug head (22).
