#859: Beadlead

Fed up carrying or tripping over powercords that are too long or finding appliances with cables that are just too short?

Meet the Beadlead.

Today’s invention is a variable-length power cord which is made up of insulated beads.

These stab into one another to form a chain…just like a child’s necklace. Internally, they each contain an electrical conductor so that electricity can flow along the internal conduit they form.

This design also provides cords with a high degree of flexibility.
