The channel (70) comprises a plurality of openings (74), (76), (78) located about the peripheral surface of the base (50) and from a selected one of which the cable may extend from the base, a first portion (80) for retaining a length of the cable, and a second portion (82) for guiding the cable from the first portion (80) to a selected one of the openings (74), (76), (78). The openings (74), (76), (78) and the second portion (82) of the channel (70) are shaped to enable part of a mains cable of another appliance to be located within the channel (70) to reduce the amount of that cable which is exposed, for example, on a work counter.</p> |
