Abstract
A cord management device includes a receptacle (110, 210) defining an interior space (120, 220) capable of containing a power strip (140, 240). The receptacle includes a stationary portion (111, 211) and a cover (115, 215) attached to the stationary portion as with a hinge such that the cover is capable of movement between a first position, in which the cover substantially encloses the interior space, and a second position, in which the interior space is exposed. The cover has a cutout (117, 217) therein. The stationary portion includes a cord management feature (113, 213). The cutout in the cover interacts with the stationary portion of the receptacle to form an opening in the receptacle when the cover is in the first position.
