Cable guide apparatus

摘要

A cable guide apparatus includes a first longitudinal channel defined by first, second, and third walls, the third wall toward and away from the first. The second and third walls may have a plurality of openings to facilitate bending of the longitudinal channel and any cables secured therein. The first wall may include a plurality of closure mechanisms, such as hooks, and the third wall may include a plurality of closure mechanisms, such as lips. The cable guide apparatus has an open condition in which cables may easily be inserted into the channel, and a closed condition in which the cables are secured in the channel. The width of the openings may define a maximum amount the cable guide apparatus may bend, such that cables secured within the apparatus do not bend to the point of being damaged.

主权项

1. A cable guide apparatus comprising:
a first wall portion, a second wall portion, and a third wall portion defining a first longitudinal channel, the first and third wall portions being movable relative to each other, wherein the third wall portion defines a plurality of openings; a plurality of first closure mechanisms on the first wall portion; and a plurality of second closure mechanisms on the third wall portion corresponding to the plurality of first closure mechanisms on the first wall portion and configured to engage with the plurality of first closure mechanisms on the first wall portion; the cable guide apparatus having an open condition in which the plurality of first closure mechanisms are spaced apart from the plurality of second closure mechanisms, and a closed condition in which at least some of the plurality of first closure mechanisms engage at least some of the plurality of second closure mechanisms; wherein, in the closed condition, the channel is substantially circumferentially enclosed at a plurality of positions along a length of the first longitudinal channel, and in the open condition, the channel is substantially circumferentially open along the length of the first longitudinal channel wherein the first wall portion, second wall portion, and third wall portion are bendable such that the first longitudinal channel has a bending radius and the first longitudinal channel has a minimum bending radius defined at least in part by a width of the plurality of openings in the third wall portion.
