Abstract
A cable management system includes a housing configured to protect and enable easy winding of cables and adapters. The various preferred embodiments utilize a rotating functionality to easily wind both small and large cables, while simultaneously supporting and protecting the cables. A plurality of selectively removable inserts provide for accommodating multiple configurations of cable sizes and locations. The unique design decreases the space typically required to store the adapter, promotes an extended product life for the cable housed within the casing, and can significantly reduce the time needed to wrap and store the cable.
Claims17
A cable management system comprising:
- a substantially circular top shell;
- a substantially circular bottom shell;
- a hinge mechanism connected to and joining the substantially circular top shell to the substantially circular bottom shell, allowing the substantially circular top shell and substantially circular bottom shell to be selectively moved into an open and a closed position;
- a substantially circular top rotating ring affixed to the substantially circular top shell;
- a substantially circular bottom rotating ring affixed to the substantially circular bottom shell wherein the substantially circular bottom rotating ring includes a lower adapter mount and the substantially circular top rotating ring includes an upper adapter mount that together in the closed position form an enclosure for a power adapter;
- wherein the substantially circular top shell and the substantially circular bottom shell, when positioned in the closed position, form a substantially circular channel configured to receive a cable attached to the power adapter;
- and
- a plurality of cable passageways configured to permit at least one cable of the power adapter to be extended from the enclosure with the power adapter to the substantially circular channel.
A method of cable management comprising the steps of:
- procuring a cable management system, the cable management system comprising:
- a substantially circular top shell;
- a substantially circular bottom shell;
- a hinge mechanism connected to and joining the substantially circular top shell to substantially circular bottom shell, allowing the substantially circular top shell to the substantially circular bottom shell to be selectively moved into an open and a closed position;
- a substantially circular top rotating ring affixed to the substantially circular top shell;
- a substantially circular bottom rotating ring affixed to the substantially circular bottom shell wherein the substantially circular bottom rotating ring includes a lower adapter mount and the substantially circular top rotating ring includes an upper adapter mount that together form an enclosure for a charger;
- wherein the substantially circular top shell and to the substantially circular bottom shell, when positioned in the substantially closed position, form a substantially circular channel configured to receive a cable attached to the charger;
- and
- a plurality of cable passageways configured to permit at least one cable of the charger to be extended from the enclosure with the power adapter to the substantially circular channel;
- moving the substantially circular top shell and substantially circular bottom shell into an open position;
- placing the charger into the enclosure;
- placing the at least one cable into at least one of the plurality of cable passageways;
- moving the substantially circular top shell and substantially circular bottom shell into a closed position;
- and
- rotating at least one of the substantially circular top rotating ring and the substantially circular bottom rotating ring.
