Abstract
A collapsible cord holder is an apparatus that is specifically designed to prevent entanglements when unwinding an existing cord bundle. The collapsible cord holder accomplishes this through the use of an extendable arm assembly that is pivotally coupled to a handle assembly and secured in both an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration through a locking mechanism. The arm assembly is able to arcuately expand beyond the diameter of the cord bundle in order to apply tension facilitating the unwinding of the cord bundle. The handle assembly permits an axial rotation of the cord bundle mounted on the collapsible cord holder in order to facilitate unwinding and prevent entanglements. The locking mechanism provides a secure engagement in the expanded configuration allowing the apparatus to transition into the collapsed configuration.
