Desk attachment apparatus and system to eliminate dropped items, provide wire management, and support for functional and artistic displays

Abstract

A desk attachment apparatus and system that prevents items from falling off a desk top, to provide electrical wire management, and provides support for functional and artistic displays. The apparatus includes a body with a plurality of holes of to receive and retain electrical wires, a plurality of slits in which the wires can be inserted into the holes, a front groove configured to tightly cover a protruding edge of a desk top and back groove extending along a back face of the body to receive an insert to block wires from being removed from the holes through the slits. Also included is an extension member that can be inserted in the back groove of the desk dam attachment apparatus to extend the desk dam apparatus.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]The present general inventive concept provides an easily attachable and detachable device and system, to a desk top surface, which can receive electrical wires extending from an electrical outlet and hold these electrical wires on the desk top surface while keeping these wires separate and tangle free. The present general inventive concept also provides an easily attachable and detachable device and system, to a desk top surface, which can receive portions of objects desired to be seated on the desk top surface such that these objects remain vertically upright in a desirable and artistic fashion. The present general inventive concept also provides an easily attachable and detachable device and system, to a desk top surface, which can remain seated between the desk top edge and a wall in which the desk is placed adjacent thereto to prevent objects, such as pens, pencils, etc., from falling into a gap between the desk top surface and the wall.

Problems solved by technology

When such wires extend from an electrical outlet to the desk top, these wires often become twisted between each other and tangled up, and are then difficult to untangle, and sometimes require a substantial amount of time to untangle.

Such wires are also prone to continuously sliding off the desk top as a result of a gravitational pull on the wires, often sliding between the desk and a wall in which the wires are being electronically charged, making it difficult to retrieve the wires and place them back on the desk top, only to slide back off the desk top.

Further, it requires a substantial amount of time and labor to feed electrical wires through the structure 20 and along the resilient strip 20 and out of the channel 24.
