Inventor patents compact caddy for hiding cables and accessories

Virginia P. of North Chesterfield, Virginia, has developed the Remote and Wire Caddy, a compact enclosure meant to organize cables, surge protectors and remote controls while reducing visible clutter. InventionHome is now helping market the patented product to U.S. manufacturers and distributors for possible licensing.

Why it matters: - The Remote and Wire Caddy tackles a common problem in homes, offices and entertainment setups: loose cables and small accessories that clutter space and become tangled. - The enclosure is designed to keep wiring near connected devices, which can also reduce cable spillover onto floors and walking areas.

What happened: - Virginia P. of North Chesterfield, Virginia created the Remote and Wire Caddy. - The product is a compact storage enclosure for electronic device cables, surge protectors, remote controllers and other small accessories. - Virginia P. received a utility patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. - InventionHome is working with Virginia P. to sell or license the patent rights.

The details: - The enclosure can be placed behind a television or computer monitor, mounted to a wall or set on the floor, depending on the installation and material configuration. - The product is intended for home entertainment areas, workspaces, offices and computer stations where multiple devices sit close together. - Loose power and signal cables can be routed into the enclosure to help prevent tangling and keep excess wiring out of normal view. - Remote controllers and other frequently used accessories can be stored inside the enclosure when not in use. - For wall-mounted use, the enclosure can be secured behind a television or large monitor with screws or hook-and-loop fasteners. - A floor-based configuration can contain cables near the ground and reduce visible cable accumulation. - The product may be manufactured from lightweight, durable plastic for wall-mounted use or lightweight wood for some floor-based versions. - The design may come in different sizes, colors and enclosure formats to fit different setups. - Key features include centralized cable storage, concealed installation, multiple mounting methods, tangle reduction and configurable sizing.

Between the lines: - The product is aimed at a broad consumer and small-office market because it addresses cable clutter created by the growing number of connected devices. - The licensing push suggests the invention is being positioned as a product for manufacturers or distributors rather than only as a one-off consumer item. - InventionHome describes its broader business as helping inventors patent, prototype, promote and license new product ideas.
