Integrated cord tie and signal conducting device

摘要

In one embodiment, an integrated extension cable/cord tie device includes male jack, a female jack, and a cable connected to the male jack and female jack. The cable comprises at least one electrical conductor forming an electrical connection between the male jack and the female jack, and a mechanical component that allows the cable to be bent to at least partially around an object upon the application of a first force, to substantially retain its shape after removal of the first force so as to remain at least partially around the object after removal of the first force, and to be unbent upon the application of a second force to be removed from the object. In another embodiment, the mechanical component is integrated directly into a non-detachable cord of a device or a detachable cord usable with one or more devices.

主权项

1. A method for storing a cable, the method comprising the steps of:
connecting a male jack of an integrated extension cable/cord tie device to a portable audio device, the integrated extension cable/cord tie device comprising the male jack, a female jack, and a cable connected to the male jack and female jack, wherein the cable comprises at least one electrical conductor forming an electrical connection between the male jack and the female jack, and a mechanical component that allows the cable to be bent at least partially around an object upon the application of a first force, to substantially retain its shape after removal of the first force so as to remain at least partially around the object after removal of the first force, and to be unbent upon the application of a second force to be removed from the object; connecting the female jack of the integrated extension cable/cord tie device to a male jack of an audio headphone; and bundling a portion of a cord of the audio device and bending the integrated extension cable/cord tie device around the bundle of the cord of the audio headphone.
