Abstract

The cable management device of a coupling assembly includes a first cable management arm, a second cable management arm, a first component, and a second component. The second cable management arm can be moved with respect to the first cable management arm. The first component is pivotally connected with respect to the first cable management arm. The second component can be displaced to either one of a first position and a second position with respect to the first component. The second component and the first component define a first length when the second component is at the first position. The second component and the first component define a second length different from the first length when the second component is at the second position.

Claims18

Dependent claims

A coupling assembly, comprising:

a slide rail assembly including a first rail and a second rail, wherein the second rail is displaceable with respect to the first rail;
and
a cable management device coupled to the slide rail assembly and including:
a first cable management arm;
a second cable management arm pivotally connected with respect to the first cable management arm;
a first component pivotally connected with respect to the first cable management arm;
a second component displaceable with respect to the first component;
a third component pivotally connected with respect to the second cable management arm;
a fourth component displaceable with respect to the third component;
a first engaging member disposed on one of the first component and the second component, wherein the first engaging member is configured to engage with the other of the first component and the second component and thereby hold the second component alternatively at one of a first position and a second position with respect to the first component;
and
a second engaging member disposed on one of the third component and the fourth component, wherein the second engaging member is configured to engage with the other of the third component and the fourth component and thereby hold the fourth component alternatively at one of a plurality of different positions with respect to the third component.

9 more elements

A cable management device, comprising:

a first cable management arm;
a second cable management arm movable with respect to the first cable management arm;
a first component pivotally connected with respect to the first cable management arm;
a second component movably mounted to the first component to be limited in displacement with respect to the first component between a first position and a second position, the second component locked against dismounting from the first component;
a third component pivotally connected with respect to the second cable management arm;
and
a fourth component displaceable with respect to the third component;
wherein when the second component is at the first position with respect to the first component, the second component and the first component define a first length;
wherein when the second component moves from the first position to the second position with respect to the first component, the second component and the first component collectively extend to define a second length greater than the first length;
wherein the fourth component and the third component define different lengths when the fourth component reaches different positions after displacement with respect to the third component.
