Abstract

A cabled device storage organizer that addresses the common problem of organizing and storing personal cabled items, such as an audio headset, and prevents entanglement of the cables. In one embodiment, an audio headset storage organizer includes a main body having an interior cavity extending the length of the main body, the interior cavity dimensioned to receive a cable of a audio headset and two apertures formed on an exterior of the main body, each of the two apertures dimensioned to receive one of two audio earbuds attached to the cable of the audio headset.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cabled device organizer comprising:
a main body having an interior cavity extending the length of the main body, the main body having an opening at a first end and an opening at an opposite second end and the interior cavity of the main body being dimensioned to receive a cable of a cabled device, wherein the cabled device further comprises two units attached to at a first end of the cable of the cabled device and wherein the two units and the first end of the cable are positioned to extend from the opening at the first end of the interior cavity of the main body and a second end of the cable, opposite the first end of the cable, is positioned to extend from the opening at the second end of the interior cavity of the main body; and
two apertures formed within an exterior surface of the main body, proximate to the first end of the main body, each of the two apertures dimensioned to receive one of the two units attached to the first end of the cable of the cabled device.

2. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , wherein the cabled device is an audio headset and the two units are audio earbuds.

3. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , further comprising a first cover secured to the first end of the main body, the first cover dimensioned to enclose the interior cavity of the main body at the first end.

4. The cabled device organizer of claim 3 , wherein the first cover is removable.

5. The cabled device organizer of claim 3 , wherein the first cover is substantially circular.

6. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , further comprising a second cover secured to the second end of the main body, the second cover dimensioned to enclose the interior cavity of the main body at the second end and the second cover including an opening dimensioned to receive the cable of the cabled device.

7. The cabled device organizer of claim 6 , wherein the second cover is removable.

8. The cabled device organizer of claim 6 , wherein the second cover is substantially circular.

9. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , wherein the main body is substantially cylindrical.

10. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , wherein the main body is comprised of two separate portions coupled together to form the main body.

11. The cabled device organizer of claim 10 , wherein the two separate portions are defined by a division along a vertical axis of the main body.

12. The cabled device organizer of claim 11 , wherein the two separate portions are defined by a division along a horizontal axis of the main body.

13. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , wherein the two apertures are substantially circular.

14. The cabled device organizer or claim 1 , wherein the two apertures are positioned substantially opposite each other on the main body and are substantially aligned with each other.

15. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , wherein the two apertures are larger than the earpiece of the cabled device.

16. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , wherein the two apertures are smaller than the earpiece of the cabled device.

17. The cabled device organizer of claim 1 , further comprising a groove around the exterior perimeter of the main body, the groove dimensioned to receive the cable of the cabled device.

18. An audio headset device organizer comprising:
a main body having an interior cavity extending the length of the main body, the main body having an opening at a first end and an opening at an opposite second end and the interior cavity of the main body being dimensioned to receive a cable of an audio headset, wherein the audio headset further comprises two audio earbuds attached at a first end of the cable of the audio headset and wherein the two earbuds and the first end of the cable are positioned to extend from the opening at the first end of the interior cavity of the main body and a second end of the cable, opposite the first end of the cable, is positioned to extend from the opening at the second end of the interior cavity of the main body; and
two apertures formed within an exterior of the main body, proximate to the first end of the main body, each of the two apertures dimensioned to receive one of the two audio earbuds attached to the first end of the cable of the audio headset.

19. An audio headset device organizer comprising:
a main body having an interior cavity extending the length of the main body, the main body having an opening at a first end and an opening at an opposite second end and the interior cavity of the main body being dimensioned to receive a cable of an audio headset, wherein the audio headset further comprises two audio earbuds attached at a first end of the cable of the audio headset and wherein the two earbuds and the first end of the cable are positioned to extend from the opening at the first end of the interior cavity of the main body and a second end of the cable, opposite the first end of the cable, is positioned to extend from the opening at the second end of the interior cavity of the main body; and
two apertures formed within an exterior of the main body, proximate to the first end of the main body, each of the two apertures dimensioned to receive one of the two audio earbuds attached to the first end of the cable of the audio headset;
a first cover secured to the first end of the main body, the first cover dimensioned to enclose the interior cavity of the main body at the first end; and
a second cover secured to the second end of the main body, the second cover dimensioned to enclose the interior cavity of the main body at the second end and the second cover including an opening dimensioned to receive the cable of the audio headset.
