Cable management system

An apparatus for managing a cable comprising:

• a pivotable torsion arm adapted to control a cable, the pivotable torsion arm connected to a fixed object;
• and
• a spool linked to the torsion arm with the cable, wherein the torsion arm pivots during rotation of the spool.

A method for controlling cable movement comprising:

• providing a cable flex radius system having first and second opposing curved surfaces to control flex radius of a cable, wherein a first curved surface is connected to a pivot assembly and a second opposing curved surface is connected to a fixed object, further wherein the fixed object is connected to stationary electronics and the cable links the stationary electronics to electronics located on the pivot assembly;
• and
• providing a cable strain relief system for connection with the cable flex radius system, the cable strain relief system comprising a first cable clamp located on the first curved surface and a second cable clamp located on the second opposing curved surface wherein the first cable clamp also secures the cable to the first curved surface and the second cable clamp also secures the cable to the opposing second curved surface.

A jukebox comprising

• a chassis;
• a pivot assembly connected to the chassis;
• a cable management system linking the chassis and the pivot assembly.

A pivot assembly comprising:

• a spool covering a circuit board, the spool having a slot through which the circuit board protrudes;
• and
• a cable clamp on the spool to secure a cable wherein strain on the circuit board is minimized.

A cable management system comprising:

• a cable flex radius system having at least two opposing curved surfaces to control flex radius of a cable, wherein a first curved surface is connected to a pivot assembly and a second opposing curved surface is connected to a fixed object, further wherein the fixed object is connected to stationary electronics and the cable links the stationary electronics to electronics located on the pivot assembly;
• and
• cable strain relief means connected to the cable flex radius system.
