Abstract
A cord guard has a power cord confining tube formed from a pair of wall members each of which has a series of stepwise and spirally extending wall panels. The panels of one of the wall members intertwines with the panels of the other of the wall members and both horizontal and vertical gaps are located between adjacent panels. In use, the tube readily flexes to a limited extent as needed by a spreading apart of the panel section margins that form the horizontal gaps.
