CORD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR FURNITURE

摘要

A cord management system for furniture includes an elongated flexible member having a plurality of cable clip elements attached thereto for attachment to multiple cables to retain the cables near the elongated member. The elongated flexible member is resilient and is configured for attachment to an article of furniture, such as a table, that is vertically moveable from a first lowered position to a second raised position. For example, when the article of furniture is in the raised position, the elongated member can be extended to a first position in which the member resembles an “S’ shape, a “∫” shape, a “” shape, or a backward “S” shape, e.g. “” shape and when the article of furniture is in the lowered position, the elongated member can be compressed to a curved compressed configuration that is “{tilde over ( )}”, “” or “” in shape.

主权项

1. An article of furniture comprising:
a work surface; a base that supports the work surface, the base being vertically adjustable to raise and lower the work surface between a raised position and a lowered position; and a cord management system positioned between the work surface and the base, the cord management system comprising:
a cord management assembly having a first end, a second end, and a middle portion between the first and second ends, the first end positioned adjacent a bottom surface of a structure defining the work surface, the second end positioned adjacent the base, the middle portion extending from the first end to the second end, the middle portion having at least one cord retention portion attached to at least one flexible elongated segment member, and the cord management assembly configured such that the cord management assembly is in a curved compressed first position when the work surface is in the lowered position and is in an extended second position that is less curved and less compressed than the curved compressed first position when the work surface is in the raised position.
