Problems solved by technology

However, many electrical appliances that are used in everyday life require an electrical connection to a source of electricity.
Due to the amount of electrical appliances, in particular personal electrical appliances, i.e. hair drier, electric razor, etc., and the regularity with which these appliances are used, the electrical cords for these appliances often times become bent, kinked and / or tangled.
A tangled mess of electrical cord(s), whether from one appliance or multiple appliances, is inconvenient, unsafe and interferes with operation of the appliance(s) by a user.

Abstract

The present invention is directed to an electrical cord straightening device that includes a first portion including at least a first pair of grooves, and a second portion including at least a second pair of grooves substantially parallel to the first pair of grooves. The first portion may be coupled to the second portion by a hinge mechanism. The first pair of grooves and the second pair of grooves may be dimensioned for receipt of an electrical cord. In the present invention the first portion and the second portion may include multiple pairs of grooves that are dimensioned for receipt of electrical cords of varying gauges. In the present invention at least the first and second pair of grooves may include at least one ball bearing in each of the pair of grooves to facilitate sliding the straightening device down the electrical cord.
