Patent ID: 8529287

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a power supply unit comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a first pair of opposing side surfaces, and a second pair of opposing side surfaces, the first and second pair of opposing side surfaces disposed between the top surface and the bottom surface; and a plurality of substantially planar extensions configured to be coupled to the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit such that when coupled to the power supply unit, the plurality of extensions extend outwardly from and transverse to the first pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit, the extensions cooperating with the first pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit to form open channels between the first pair of opposing side surfaces and the extensions such that an electrical power cord can be wrapped around the power supply unit and held in place against the first pair of opposing side surfaces and between the extensions within the open channels, wherein no portion of the open channels is formed by the second pair of opposing side surfaces, wherein at least one end of each of the plurality of extensions defines a recess in the at least one end that is configured to receive and retain a part of a flexible portion of the electrical power cord, wherein the at least one end of each of the plurality of extensions further defines retention mechanisms for retaining the part of the flexible portion of the electrical power cord within the recess, and wherein the plurality of extensions have widths that are substantially the same as widths of the second pair of opposing side surfaces of the power supply unit.
