1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cable organizing device, and more particularly to a cable organizing device including an improved structure or configuration for solidly and stably winding and storing and organizing one or more wires or cables therein and for preventing the wires or cables from being disengaged or separated from the cable organizing device.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical cable organizer or organizing devices comprise a casing or housing having a plate or wall member which includes one or more openings or orifices or notches formed therein for receiving or engaging with the wires or cables and for winding and storing and organizing the wires or cables therein and for preventing the wires or cables from being disengaged or separated from the cable organizing device.
For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,721,268 to Lerner et al., U.S. Pat. No. 6,736,669 to Martin et al., U.S. Pat. No. 7,433,571 to Kendricks, U.S. Pat. No. 7,446,260 to Hammonds, U.S. Pat. No. 7,607,618 to Mori et al., U.S. Pat. No. 7,882,660 to Kitagawa, and U.S. Pat. No. 8,076,584 to Huang et al. disclose several of the typical cable organizing devices each comprising a casing or housing having a compartment or chamber or one or more openings or orifices or notches formed therein for receiving or engaging with the wires or cables and for winding and storing and organizing the wires or cables therein and for preventing the wires or cables from being disengaged or separated from the casing or housing of the cable organizing device.
However, the wires or cables may only be randomly or loosely received or engaged within the casing or housing of the cable organizing device and may not be solidly and stably anchored or retained or positioned within the casing or housing, and may have a good chance to be disengaged from the casing or housing inadvertently.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional cable organizing devices.
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a cable organizing device including an improved structure or configuration for solidly and stably winding and storing and organizing one or more wires or cables therein and for preventing the wires or cables from being disengaged or separated from the cable organizing device.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a cable organizing device comprising a receptacle including a first housing member having a bottom wall, and a rear wall and two end walls extended upwardly from the bottom wall for forming and defining a chamber in the first housing member, and a second housing member including a front wall pivotally coupled to the bottom wall of the first housing member with a hinge member for allowing the bottom wall of the first housing member and the front wall of the second housing member to be pivoted and folded relative to each other; and the first housing member including at least one post extended from the bottom wall and extended into the chamber of the first housing member for winding and engaging with a cable and for receiving and organizing and storing the cable within the chamber of the first housing member.
The end walls of the first housing member each include an opening formed therein and communicating with the chamber of the first housing member for receiving and engaging with the cable. The first housing member includes at least one notch formed in the rear wall and communicating with the chamber of the first housing member for receiving and engaging with the cable.
The first housing member includes an enlarged head formed and provided on top of the post for anchoring the cable on the post and for preventing the cable from being disengaged from the post. The first housing member includes at least one orifice formed in the bottom wall. The end walls of the first housing member each include a triangular structure coupled between the bottom wall and the rear wall of the first housing member.
The second housing member includes an upper wall and two end panels extended from the front wall for forming and defining a compartment in the second housing member. The end panels of the second housing member each include a triangular structure coupled between the upper wall and the front wall of the second housing member.
The end panels of the second housing member each include a channel formed therein and communicating with the compartment of the second housing member. The channel of the end panel of the second housing member is spaced from the opening of the end wall of the first housing member when the first and the second housing members are folded toward each other.
The second housing member includes at least one projection extended outwardly from the upper wall. A bar may include one or more cavities formed therein for selectively engaging with the projections and for shielding and covering or protecting the projections and for preventing the projections from being exposed and contacted or engaged with the other objects.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of the detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawings, and initially to
The second housing member 20 includes a side or front panel or wall 22 pivotally or rotatably attached or secured or coupled to the bottom wall 11 of the first housing member 10 with the pivot joint or hinge member 21 for allowing the bottom wall 11 of the first housing member 10 and the front wall 22 of the second housing member 20 to be pivoted or rotated or folded relative to each other; and includes an upper portion or wall 23 and one or more (such as two) side or end or walls or panels 24 extended from the front wall 22 for forming or defining a chamber or compartment 25 in the second housing member 20, in which the end panels 24 each include a substantially triangular structure or configuration or contour secured or coupled between the upper wall 23 and the front wall 22 of the second housing member 20.
The chamber 14 of the first housing member 10 and the compartment 25 of the second housing member 20 may be communicated with each other when the housing members 10, 20 are folded toward each other, for receiving or engaging with the wires or cables 8 (
It is preferable that the opening 15 of the end wall 13 of the first housing member 10 and the channel 26 of the end panel 24 of the second housing member 20 are offset or spaced or separated from each other when the housing members 10, 20 are folded toward each other (
It is preferable that the first housing member 10 further includes an enlarged head 18 formed or provided on top of each of the posts 17 for solidly and stably anchoring or retaining or positioning the wires or cables 8 on the posts 17 and for preventing the wires or cables 8 from being disengaged or separated or removed from the posts 17, and the first housing member 10 further includes one or more apertures or openings or orifices 19 formed in the bottom wall 11 and spaced or separated or offset from the posts 17, and the second housing member 20 further includes one or more pegs or columns or pins or keys or projections 27 extended upwardly and outwardly from the upper wall 23 for engaging with the orifices 19 of the other receptacle 1 (
