Abstract
A cord holding device for retaining an electrical cord in strategic position on a hospital bed in a convenient location relative to a patient lying on the bed has a base member which in use may be secured by adhesive or a belt to a mattress cover or a mattress pad underneath a bed sheet. A holder member snaps onto the base member over the bed sheet so as to trap the bed sheet therebetween. The holder member carries a pushbutton assembly by which it may be released from the base member by depression of the pushbutton. A U-shaped saddle in inverted form fits into the top of the pushbutton to releasably secure the electrical cord between the saddle member and the pushbutton.
