Foldable and restrainable cables

摘要

A foldable and restrainable cable for electrical and electronic devices. The cables are preformed with bends to allow the cable to be gathered together easier for bundling. The cable also has a restrainer section at one end to hold the cable together after it is gathered and bundled for storage.

主权项

1. A continuous and foldable cable for use with electrical and electronic devices, said cable comprising:
a cable having a conductor and an outer jacket covering the conductor; the cable having a first end and a second end; and a preformed restrainer for the purpose of bundling and holding the cable when folded, the preformed restrainer consisting only of:
a section of the cable between the first and second ends;a thermally formable portion of that section in which the outer jacket is stiffer than the outer jacket of the rest of the cable;the stiffer section being thermally and permanently preformed into a desired shape to create the preformed restrainer; wherein the preformed restrainer is capable of being wound and/or unwound around the folded cable to neatly bundle or unbundle the foldable cable and thereby prevent tangling of the foldable cable.
