The base member can include one or more engagement portions that couple with one or more engagement portions on the first and second elongate members.
Claims35
A cable tether system, comprising:
- a base member including:
- a first engagement portion;
- and
- a second engagement portion;
- a first elongate member extending away from the base member configured to enclose at least a portion of a first cable, the first elongate member including a third engagement portion configured to detachably couple with the first engagement portion, wherein the third engagement portion comprises a first protrusion, wherein the first protrusion includes a first head portion coupled to a body of the first elongate member via a first neck portion, wherein the first head portion has a larger perimeter than the first neck portion, and wherein the first head portion and the first neck portion extend perpendicular to the body of the first elongate member;
- and
- a second elongate member extending away from the base member in a longitudinal direction of the base member and in a substantially opposite direction as the first elongate member and configured to enclose at least a portion of a second cable, the second elongate member including a fourth engagement portion configured to detachably couple with the second engagement portion,
- wherein a width of the base member is greater than a width of a connector of the first cable and a connector of the second cable,
- wherein the base member is composed of a first material, wherein the first elongate member and the second elongate member are composed of a second material that is different from and more flexible than the first material.
