Abstract:
The presently disclosed subject matter relates to protectors that safeguard the charging cords of a wide variety of electronic devices, preventing the cords from becoming damaged during use. The protector cooperates with the electronic device charger, keeping the charging cord safely bent at a soft angle to prevent fraying, breaking, and the like. Conventional charging cords include a first end that plugs into an outlet, providing a power source, and a second end that plugs into or connects with the electronic device, thereby charging the device. The protector enables the cord to be maintained at an angle suitable to prevent or minimize damage, thereby extending the life of the charger.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of protecting the cord of an electric device charger having a cord and a connector that attaches to the charging port of the electronic device, the method comprising:\n threading the cord and connector through a protector comprising:\n a body defined by a top face, bottom face, front face, rear face, left face, and right face; \n one or more legs that extend from the bottom face of the body, wherein each leg comprises a left side face and an opposing right side face; \n a first opening positioned on the top face of the body, configured for housing at least a portion of the connector; \n a second opening positioned on the bottom face of the body, configured for housing a first portion of the cord; \n a first recess that connects the first opening with the second opening within an interior of the body; \n a second recess that extends through an interior of the one or more legs from the left face to the right face, wherein the second recess is configured for housing a second portion of the cord; \n wherein the angle between the first recess and the second recess is about 90 degrees or greater; \n wherein the first portion of the cord is maintained within the first recess such that the connector is at least partially housed within the first opening on the top face of the body; and \n wherein the second portion of the cord is maintained within the second recess; and \n wherein the angle between the first portion of the cord and the second portion of the cord is about 90-180 degrees.
