[ What I claim as my invention is:] [1.]1. A flexible cable holder for releasably suspending a computer mouse cable from a location above the plane of a surface upon which a computer mouse is moved to provide an adjustable length of cable between the mouse and the holder, said cable holder comprising:(a) two end portions with fastening means disposed at one of said end portions for affixing the holder at a location above the plane of said surface upon which the mouse is moved during its operation, and(b) projecting means for extending generally horizontally and outwardly from said fastening means when affixing the holder at a location above said plane of said surface upon which the mouse is moved,(c) said projecting means including cable retaining means disposed at the other said end portion of the holder for releasably receiving and frictionally retaining a folded cable portion which is folded back upon itself,(d) said cable retaining means being effective to allow said mouse to be freely moved on said surface during its operation without said adjustable length of the cable being subject to frictional drag and entanglement,(e) said cable retaining means including a top surface, a bottom surface, and an aperture that extends through said top and bottom surfaces, said aperture having a size sufficient to receive and frictionally retain said folded cable portion,(f) said projecting means being pivotally connected to said fastening means for swinging said projecting means in a generally horizontal plane when the cable holder is affixed at a location above the plane of said surface upon which the mouse is moved.
