Abstract
A bundling apparatus for the organization of electrical wires. The bundling apparatus comprising a body with a first end and a second end, the body being movable from an extended position to a compressed position. The body holding the electrical wires together when the bundling apparatus is in the extended position and the electrical wires being movable when the bundling apparatus is in the compressed position.
Claims22
A bundling apparatus for the organization of a plurality of electrical wires, the bundling apparatus comprising:
- a variable length body with a first end and a second end, the body being repeatedly adjustable between an extended position and a compressed position;
- a first fastener connected to the body at the first end, the first fastener fastening the first end of the body to the plurality of electrical wires;
- and
- a second fastener connected to the body at the second end, the second fastener fastening the second end of the body to the plurality of electrical wires, the second end being movable with respect to the plurality of wires between the extended position and the compressed position;
- wherein when the body is in the compressed position, a first portion of each of the plurality of electrical wires are held together within the body and a second onion of each of the plurality of wires are outside the body and freely movable relative to each other.

(canceled)
The bundling apparatus of claim 21, wherein the body is biased to maintain the body in the extended position and the second fastener is operable to fasten the body in the compressed position.
(canceled)
A bundling apparatus for the organization of a plurality of data collection lead wires used with a patient monitoring system, the bundling apparatus comprising:
- a body with a cylindrical shape having a first end and a second end, the body being movable from a compressed position to an extended position;
- a first fastener connected to the first end, the first fastener disposed to attach the body to the plurality of data collection wires;
- a second fastener connected to the second end, the second fastener disposed to attach the body to the plurality of data collection lead wires;
- and
- a divider disposed within the body, the divider being connected to the first end and the second end of the body, and the divider defining a plurality of compartments within the body;
- wherein the plurality of data collection lead wires are disposed within the body with at least one lead wire of the plurality of data collection lead wires disposed within each compartment of the body, and when the body is in the extended position, the wires are held together.
A bundling apparatus for the organization of a plurality of electrical wires, the bundling apparatus comprising:
- a variable length body having a first end and a second end connected by a spring, the body being repeatably movable between a compressed position and an extended position;
- a first fastener connected to the first end, the first fastener attaching the first end of the body to the plurality of electrical wires;
- and
- a second fastener connected to the second end, the second fastener attaching the second end of the body to the plurality of electrical wires to maintain the body in the compressed position or the extended position.
A bundling apparatus for the organization of a plurality of electrical wires, the bundling apparatus comprising:
- a variable length body having a first end and a second end, the body being repeatably movable between a compressed position and an extended position;
- a first fastener connected to the first end, the first fastener attaching the first end of the body to the plurality of electrical wires;
- and
- a weighted member connected to the second end such that when the first end is fastened to the plurality of electrical wires at a position above the second end, the body will be held in an extended position by the force of gravity.
