Peripheral interface cable support

An interface cable support to assist in the unimpeded operation of at least one user-operated input device by freely supporting an interface cable of an input device, the interface cable support comprising:

• a) a base including a horizontal lower portion with a flattened bottom surface and an upper portion fixed to the lower portion, an upper end of the upper portion provides a bore thereat;
• the base constructed having a mass that provides stability even when the input device connected to the supported interface cable is moved within a predefined limited area, wherein the upper portion of the base includes a first vertical member with a groove formed therein, the groove extending substantially vertically from a location proximal to the bore to a location proximal to the lower portion of the base and provided to enable the interface cable to be positioned and firmly held within the groove;
• and
• b) a support rod that that extends above the base having a first end and a second end, a substantially curved upper section of the support rod preferably with a hemispherical profile is located proximal to the second end, with the first end rotatably mounted via the bore to the upper end of the upper portion of the base;
• c) the support rod further including a hook formed at the second end to securely hold a selected location along a length of the interface cable so that a portion of the interface cable extending from the hook to the input device is of sufficient length to enable the unimpeded motion of the input device within the predefined limited area.
