Flexible element tensioning mechanism

A computer cable management apparatus comprising:

• a first element;
• a second element, wherein the second element is movable relative to the first element;
• a computer cable extending between the first element and the second element;
• and a tensioning element comprising a constant force spring in contact with the computer cable and configured to maintain substantially constant tension on the computer cable over movement of the second element relative to the first element;
• whereby:
• movement of the second element relative to the first element results in movement of at least one endpoint of the computer cable, wherein the first element comprises a display screen and wherein the second element comprises components that enable functioning of the display screen, wherein the constant-force spring is housed within the first element.
