Cord management system

Abstract

A cord management system includes a strap. The strap has a first set of magnets attached to a first location on the strap and a second set of magnets attached to a second location on the strap. The strap also includes at least two modes of operation. In a first mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically attached to the second set of magnets so that a first segment of the strap located between the first set of magnets and the second set of magnets forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the strap. In a second mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically detached from the second set of magnets so that the first segment no longer forms the loop. The strap is also configured to be coupled to an object.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cord management system, comprising:
 a strap;   a first set of magnets attached to a first location on the strap;   a second set of magnets attached to a second location on the strap;   wherein the strap includes at least two modes of operation;   wherein in a first mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically attached to the second set of magnets so that a first segment of the strap located between the first set of magnets and the second set of magnets forms a loop configured to secure a cord that is wrapped around the strap;   wherein in a second mode of operation, the first set of magnets is magnetically detached from the second set of magnets so that the first segment no longer forms the loop; and   wherein the strap is configured to be coupled to an object.
