Abstract
A cable management system having a base section and a cap section with an attachment mechanism to connect the cap to the base. The base of the cable management system includes opposing side projections to form a C-shaped cross-section with an opening between ends of the side projections, while the cap is crescent-shaped and configured to cover the opening when attached to the base. The attachment mechanism is fixed to an interior surface of the base to form two distinct channels. The cap is removable to allow addition, removal and/or adjustment of cords and cables.
Claims10
A cable management system comprising:
- a base section having two longitudinal channels, each defined by a planar bottom wall, opposing inner and outer sidewalls extending from the bottom wall and a flexible upper projection extending inward from each of the outer sidewalls terminating to form an opening between the flexible upper projections;
- a cap section having a curved top wall;
- and a mating section for connecting the cap section to the base section, wherein the mating section comprises a third longitudinal channel and a longitudinal connector configured to be inserted into the third channel such that the curved top wall of the cap section completely expands across the opening between the flexible upper projections of the base section to form a track section, wherein the third longitudinal channel is formed between the two inner sidewalls of the two longitudinal channels of the base section and the longitudinal connector extends transversely from a lower surface of the cap section and the longitudinal connector comprises a plurality of barb-like structures on the outer surface and the third channel comprises a plurality of corresponding barb-like structures on the inner surface to engage the plurality of barb-like structures in the third channel when inserted therein.
