0041] Cable holder with detachable cable holder cover that attaches to a horizontal support assembly. Cables and the like are wrapped on the cable holder and held in place by the cable holder cover. The cable holder and cable holder cover form a cable holder assembly. The cable holder assembly is then attached to a horizonta

Problems solved by technology

The tube provides no means for separating the individual cables, thus making it difficult to remove any on cable from the tube.
Also, no feature is included that supports the tube or allows the tube to be mounted.
However, no features are included that support the spool assembly or allow the spool assembly to be mounted.
Thus, cables are difficult to remove unless all the forward cables are also removed, or the entire bag assembly is detached.
Removal of the spools is not possible without removing the center shaft, thus individual spools cannot be easily removed, replaced or moved.
No system is proposed that allows for removable and replacement of multiple cables.

Abstract

A cable management system includes a horizontal support assembly (1) and a cable holder assembly (5). The cable holder assembly (5) consists of a cable holder (3) with hooks (8) and a cable holder cover (4). Excess cable, wire, line or cord is wrapped around the cable holder (3) and the cable holder cover (4) is installed. The cable holder assembly (5) is then hooked onto the horizontal support assembly (1). The cable management system manages, organizes, stores, protects and support the cables along a horizontal plane. Any cable holder assembly can be removed without disturbing the other cables. The system includes end pads (25), suction cups (26), top brackets (33), side brackets (38) and hanger brackets (41). Combined with the adjustable-length horizontal support assembly (1), these connectors allow the system to be installed on a wide variety of vertical (44) and horizontal (45) surfaces.

Description

[0001] Authority is claimed of Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 379,953 Filed on May 10, 2002[0002] 1. Field of the Invention[0003] This invention relates generally to wires, cables, lines and cords, particularly to a novel system of managing, organizing, storing, protecting and supporting a plurality of wires, cables, lines, cords and the like that connect equipment together. More particularly, the present invention includes a plurality of covered cable holders with hooks that are adjustable and detachable from a horizontal support assembly.[0004] 2. Brief Description of the Related Art[0005] In the fields of electronics, communications, and data transmission, equipment of many types are grouped together and connected by many cables, wires, lines, cords and the like (hereafter referred to as "cables"). These cables are made in many types, gauges and lengths. The equipment is usually connected together at the back by cables with plugs or by wire ends connected to terminal block...
