Abstract
A computer cable bender which has two haves that are coupled together. The halves are supported by a base and have arcuate channels of circular cross section to surround the cable. The cable is redirected from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation thereby providing strain relief to the cable.
Claims11
A computer cable bender for supporting above a surface and generating slack in an insulated cable coupling a computer device to a computer system, comprising:
- a first bending half, having a perimeter consisting of two arcuate sides, having a first key, a first keyhole, and a first channel bending from a first plane towards a second plane for bending the insulated cable in an arc in a plane above said surface;
- a second bending half having a perimeter consisting of two arcuate coupled to the first bending half having a second key coupled to said first keyhole, a second keyhole coupled to said first key, and a second channel opposing said first channel bending in parallel with said first channel from said first plane towards said second plane for bending the insulated cable in said arc;
- and
- a base coupled at a bottom of the first bending half and the second bending half for supporting the first and second bending halves above the surface and thereby supporting above the surface and generating slack in the insulated cable coupling the computer device to the computer system.
A method for directing and supporting above a surface an insulated computer mouse cable connecting a computer mouse to a computer slack therein, comprising the steps of:
- inserting a portion of the insulated computer mouse cable into a first arcuate channel of a first bending half, having a perimeter consisting of two arcuate sides, having a first key, a first keyhole, and said first channel bending from a first plane towards a second plane for bending the insulated computer mouse cable in an arc in a plane above said surface;
- aligning a second arcuate channel of a second bending half, having a perimeter consisting of two arcuate side, with said first channel of the first bending half, a second key of the second bending half with said first keyhole of the first bending half, and a second keyhole of the second bending half with said first key of the first bending half;
- coupling the second bending half with the first bending half;
- and
- inserting the coupled first and second bending halves into a slit in a base to support the first and second bending halves above the surface whereby slack is generated in the insulated computer mouse cable.
A computer cable bender for supporting above a surface and generating slack in an insulated cable coupling a computer mouse to a computer system, comprising:
- a first bending half, having a perimeter consisting of two arcuate sides, having a first key, a first keyhole, and a first channel bending from a first plane towards a second plane for bending the insulated cable;
- a second bending half, having a perimeter consisting of two arcuate side, coupled to the first bending half having a second key coupled to said first keyhole, a second keyhole coupled to said first key, and a second channel opposing said first channel bending in parallel with said first channel from said first plane towards said second plane for bending the insulated cable;
- and
- a base coupled at a bottom of the first bending half and the second bending half for supporting the first and second bending halves above the surface and thereby supporting above the surface and generating slack in the insulated cable coupling the computer mouse to the computer system.
