Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a body portion that includes a first member and a second member, wherein the members taper at one end and are configured to be coupled to an electronic component at another end; and a securing portion coupled to the body portion and configured to form a cavity through which a cord passes, the cord having a cord head that is fixed to the electronic component, wherein a portion of a force exerted on the cord is transferred to the securing portion such that detachment of the cord head from the electronic component is inhibited, and wherein the securing portion defines a space in the cavity such that a first instance of the cord and a second instance of the cord can both be positioned simultaneously in the cavity, and wherein the cavity is defined such that the first instance of the cord can rest on the second instance of the cord, which in turn rests on a bottom portion of the securing portion associated with the cavity such that the bottom portion of the securing portion supports weights of the first and second instances of the cord when in the cavity, wherein once the cord is looped through the cavity, a biasing force is exerted on the cord, and wherein the securing portion includes a texturing material on its surface that inhibits movement of the cord.
