A retaining device in the form of a clip (11, 13, figures 1 and 2) or a combined clip and plug (12, figure 3) is provided for keeping a power cord or appliance cord or similar (16) in a neat and organised manner whether in use or in storage by maintaining the cord in loops. Clip (11, 12, 13) is provided with an opening (26, 126) for receiving the cord (16) defined between a resiliently movable arm (31, 61) and another arm (24, 124). The resiliently movable arm (31, 61) is biased towards the other arm (24, 124) to maintain the cord securely. In some embodiments of the clip other openings (43, 143, 45) are provided to store one or more loops of cord. The arms defining the loops are optionally provided with indentations (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38) preferably in corresponding pairs for retaining the cord therebetween. |
