Abstract (en)
A power cord retaining system (20) for use with a power tool (10) configured for accommodating an extension cord (12) includes a cord capture formation (22) for retaining the extension cord (12) disposed on the tool (10), and a cord channel (24) disposed on the tool and configured for supporting a loop (30) of the cord substantially along an arc defined by the loop. In the preferred embodiment, the cord capture formation (22) defines an enclosed aperture (34) for retaining the cord at two points (26,28), defining a cord loop (30) therebetween, and the cord channel (24) defines a semi-circular arc for supporting the cord loop (30) substantially along its apex (32). A cord lock (60) is preferably formed in association with the cord channel (24) for releasably locking the cord (12) in the channel (24) and preventing unwanted cord release. <IMAGE>
