               The invention relates to a novel device for controlling                
          the movement of a computer mouse cord of a computer mouse                   
          operating on a computer mouse pad.  The device comprises a                  
          shackle for attachment to a mouse cord.  The shackle is                     
          comprised of a partially cylindrical body in the form of an                 
          elongated clamp having an opening with flared lips.  A                      
          mounting means is attached to the shackle for mounting the                  
          device on a stationary object.  The invention is further                    
          illustrated by the following claim.                                         
               22.  In a device for controlling the movement of a                     
          computer mouse cord of a computer mouse operated on a computer              
          mouse pad, the combination of which comprises:                              
               a shackle for controlling movement of said computer mouse              
          cord, said shackle comprising an elongated clamp having an                  
          opening along its length which is capable of holding said                   
          computer mouse cord at a point along its length, to limit                   
          movement of said computer mouse cord to a portion of said                   
          computer mouse cord between said clamp and said computer                    
          mouse, and                                                                  
               a mounting means attached to said shackle for mounting                 
          said shackle on said computer mouse pad, said mounting means                
          comprising:                                                                 
               a support member attached to said shackle,                             


                                          2
