[0062] Detailed description

[0063] Disclosed herein is a rack-mountable chassis and system. In particular, hard drive bays, removable and lockable bezels, latches, and cable raceways are described.

[0064] Figure 1 Shows an example rack-mountable chassis 100. The rack-mountable chassis 100 may include one or more sides 101, a cover 102, and a front panel 103. In some examples, the rack-mountable chassis 100 may also include one or more handles 104. The handle 104 may be a quick-release handle, as described below in connection with Figure 20 - Figure 2 3. The rack-mountable chassis 100 may encapsulate various different electrical devices and / or components, including, for example, computer equipment. The computer equipment may include one or more user-accessible hard disk drives. The hard disk drives may be mounted on one or more hard drive bays 110. Example hard drive bays 110 are described in more detail below in connection with Figure 2 - FIG. 5.

[0065] Figure 2 ​Shows a detailed view of the rack - mountable chassis 200. The rack - mountable chassis 200 can be Figure 1 an example of the rack - mountable chassis 100. The rack - mountable chassis 200 can include a hard - drive bay 210. The hard - drive bay 210 can include a door 220, and the door 220 further includes a tab 230 that enables a user to engage with the door 220 and rotate the door 220. In some examples, the user can rotate the door 220 or unlock and disengage the hard - drive bay 210 from the rack - mountable chassis 200. In this way, the user can remove the hard - drive bay 210 from the rack - mountable chassis 200.

[0066] Figure 3A Shows a top - down partial view of the hard - drive bay 300. The hard - drive bay 300 can be Figure 2 an example of the hard - drive bay 210 or Figure 1 either of the hard - drive bays 110. The hard - drive bay 300 can include a door 310, a door frame 320, and a latch pawl 330. The door 310 can be directly or indirectly coupled to the latch pawl 330. In some examples, the door 310 can be pivotally coupled to the door frame 320. The rotation of the door 310 about a pivot point anchored to the door frame 320 can cause the door 310 to contact the latch pawl 330 and retract the latch pawl 330 into the door frame 320. The latch pawl 330 can project from the door frame 320 and cause the hard - drive bay 300 to be latched or locked within a chassis such as Figure 2 the rack - mountable chassis 200 or Figure 1 the rack - mountable chassis 100. In some examples, the door 310 can include a tab 340 that enables a user to grasp the door 310 and rotate the door 310 relative to the door frame. Although not shown, the hard - drive bay 300 can include a bay frame capable of receiving and attaching (mounting) a hard - drive.

[0067] Figure 3B Shows another top - down partial view of the hard - drive bay 300. As shown, the door 310 can rotate about a pivot point relative to the door frame 320. The rotation of the door 310 can cause a latch pawl (not shown) to retract or withdraw into the door frame 320.

[0068] Figure 4A Shows a top - down partial internal view of the hard - drive bay 400. Figure 4A Can show example internal components of the hard - drive bay 300 of FIG. 3. The hard - drive bay 400 can include a door 410, a door frame 420, and a latch pawl 430. Additionally, the hard - drive bay 400 can include a pivot 440, a first spring 441, and a second spring 442.

[0069] The door 410 may be pivotally coupled to the door frame 420 via a pivot 440. The first spring 441 may include a first arm coupled to the door 410 and a second arm coupled to the door frame 420. The first spring 441 may bias the door 410 to a closed position. For example, the door 410 may be rotated outward (relative to the door frame 420) by a user. The first spring 441 may apply a torsional force on the door 410 to cause the door 410 to return (close) toward the door frame 420. In some examples, the first spring 441 may be a torsion spring configured to apply a torsional force relative to the door 410 and the door frame 420. The first spring 441 may be disposed about the pivot 440. In this way, when the external force provided by the user is removed, the first spring 441 may advantageously close the door 410.

[0070] The second spring 442 may be coupled to the latch pawl 430. In some examples, the second spring 442 may apply a compressive force to bias the latch pawl 430 outward from the door frame 420. The door 410 may include a rod 411 that may contact the latch pawl 430 and cause the latch pawl 430 to move inward when the door 410 is rotated outward from the door frame 420. In this way, rotation of the door 410 may cause the latch pawl 430 to retract (recede) into the door frame 420. In some examples, the second spring 442 may be a compression spring. In some cases, when the second spring 442 applies pressure outward on the latch pawl 430, the second spring 442 may also apply a force to cause the door 410 to rotate inward toward the center of the door frame 420.

[0071] Figure 4B Another top-down partial internal view of the hard disk drive carrier 400 is shown. As shown, the door 410 may rotate "closed" (inward) against the door frame 420. In some examples, the first spring 441 may apply a force to cause the door 410 to rotate inward relative to the door frame 420.

[0072] The second spring 442 may bias and / or push the latch pawl 430 outward from the door frame 420. The latch pawl 430 may engage a feature (not shown) within the chassis to lock the hard disk drive carrier 400 in place relative to the chassis.

[0073] Figure 5A Another view of an example hard disk drive carrier 500 is shown. The hard disk drive carrier 500 may be Figure 2 another example of the hard disk drive carrier 210. The hard disk drive carrier 500 may include a door 510, a door frame 520, and a carrier frame 530. The carrier frame 530 may be configured to receive and attach a hard disk drive. For example, the carrier frame 530 may include holes 535 and / or brackets 536 for attaching any viable hard disk drive.

[0074] In some examples, a rack-mountable chassis can include light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that can provide information about hard drive activity or status. The LEDs can be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) that can be located internally (e.g., not easily visible from the outside of the rack-mountable chassis). The hard drive carrier 500 can include one or more light pipes to transmit light from the LEDs mounted on the internal PCB to a surface visible outside the rack-mountable chassis.

[0075] For example, the hard drive carrier 500 can include a first light pipe 540 and a second light pipe 541. The first light pipe 540 and the second light pipe 541 can be made of acrylic or polycarbonate materials that can allow for near-total internal reflection of light. In some examples, the first light pipe 540 can transmit light from the LEDs mounted on the PCB toward the door 510. The second light pipe 541 can be mounted within the door 510 and positioned to transmit light from the first light pipe 540 to the outside or outer surface of the door 510, particularly when the door 510 is closed (rotated inward relative to the door frame 520). In some examples, the second light pipe 541 can contact the first light pipe 540 when the door 510 is rotated inward toward the door frame 520.

[0076] Figure 5B Another view of the hard drive carrier 500 is shown. As shown, the first light pipe 540 can include a surface that aligns with and / or contacts the second light pipe 541 mounted on or within the door 510.

[0077] Figure 6 An example rack-mountable chassis assembly 600 is shown. The rack-mountable chassis assembly 600 can include a rack-mountable chassis 610 and a bezel assembly 620. As described herein, in some examples, the rack-mountable chassis 610 can include features that should be hidden or protected from unauthorized access, such as hard drive carriers, power buttons, etc. The bezel assembly 620 can be used to secure or protect the front of the rack-mountable chassis 610. In some examples, the bezel assembly 620 can be secured to the front of the rack-mountable chassis 610 with a key or other similar feature. The example bezel assembly is described in more detail below in connection with Figure 7 - Figure 19 the example bezel assembly is described in more detail below.

[0078] Figure 7An example of a bezel system 700 is shown. The bezel system 700 may include a bezel assembly 710 and a key 720. The bezel assembly 710 may be removably coupled to a rack-mountable chassis and includes one or more user-operable latch handles that may enable a user to unlock and remove the bezel assembly 710 from the rack-mountable chassis. In some examples, the key 720 (or lack thereof) may be used to restrict or prevent any movement of the user-operable latch handle, thereby effectively locking the removable bezel 710 to the rack-mountable chassis.

[0079] Figure 8 An exploded view of a bezel assembly 800 is shown. The bezel assembly 800 may include a bezel body 810, a first latch handle 820, a second latch handle 821, a first compression spring 830, a second compression spring 831, a first locking bar 840, a second locking bar 841, a first torsion spring 850, a second torsion spring 851, a first release button 860, and a second release button 861. In some examples, the bezel assembly 800 may include additional components not listed herein, such as screws, covers, plates, etc. Some other example bezel assemblies may include additional or fewer components.

[0080] The first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821 may extend outwardly beyond the sides or edges of the bezel body 810. For example, the first compression spring 830 may bias or force the first latch handle 820 to extend outwardly from the bezel body 810, and the second compression spring 831 may bias or force the second latch handle 821 to extend outwardly from the bezel body 810. Features (prongs 822 and 823) of the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821 that extend beyond the bezel body 810 may engage or lock the bezel body 810 to a rack-mountable chassis (not shown).

[0081] The first release button 860 may be movably coupled to the first latch handle 820, and the second release button 861 may be movably coupled to the second latch handle 821. In some examples, the first release button 860 and the second release button 861 may allow the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821 to retract inwardly when a force is applied to the prongs 822 and 823 of the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821. In this manner, the first release button 860 and the second release button may always allow the bezel assembly 800 to be installed or attached to a rack-mountable chassis.

[0082] The first release button 860 and the second release button 861 can also prevent a user from attempting to push inwardly on the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821 to retract the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821, particularly when the key 870 is not inserted into the bezel body 810. In other words, the first release button 860 and the second release button 861 can block pressure or force from the user directed towards the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821. For example, the first locking lever 840 and the second locking lever 841 can be biased by the first torsion spring 850 and the second torsion spring 851 to positions that prevent movement of the first release button 860 and the second release button 861, and thereby lock and hold the extensions (or positions) of the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821. In some examples, when the first release button 860 and the second release button 861 are prevented from moving, the first release button 860 and the second release button 861 can block any force provided by the user from reaching and / or actuating the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821. When the key 870 is inserted into the bezel body 810, then the first locking lever 840 and the second locking lever 841 can move (e.g., by contact with the key 870) to positions that allow movement of the first release button 860 and the second release button 861, and thereby allow the first latch handle 820 and the second latch handle 821 to move inwardly and retract away from the sides of the bezel body 810.

[0083] Figure 9 An example chassis assembly 900 including a bezel assembly 910 and a rack-mountable chassis 920 is shown. The rack-mountable chassis 920 can include a first handle 921 and a second handle 922. The rack-mountable chassis 920 can also include sides, covers, etc. not shown in this view.

[0084] can be Figure 8 A bezel assembly 910, which can be an example of the bezel assembly 800, can include a first latch handle 911 and a second latch handle 912. Each of the first latch handle 911 and the second latch handle 912 can include a pin (such as pin 913) that can engage with the handle of the rack-mountable chassis 920.

[0085] Figure 10 A partial top-down internal view 1000 of a bezel assembly attached to a rack-mountable chassis is shown. As shown, the bezel assembly 1020 can be attached to the rack-mountable chassis 1010. The rack-mountable chassis 1010 can include a handle 1030. The bezel assembly 1020 can include a latch handle 1021. The latch handle 1021 can include a pin 1022 that can engage with the handle 1030 to hold the bezel assembly 1020 to the rack-mountable chassis 1010.

[0086] Figure 11A Shows an internal front view of the bezel assembly 1100. The bezel assembly 1100 can be Figure 8 an example of the bezel assembly 800 of Figure 11B The area 1110 of the bezel assembly 1100 is shown enlarged in

[0087] Figure 11B The area 1110 of the bezel assembly 1100 is shown. The area 1110 can include a latch handle 1120, a release button 1130, and a locking lever 1140. When a key is not inserted into the bezel assembly 1100, the locking lever 1140 can be biased by a torsion spring (not shown) in a manner that interferes with or prohibits the movement of the release button 1130. In this position, the locking lever 1140 can block the force from the user attempting to move the latch handle 1120 inward. Thus, when the movement of the release button 1130 is restricted, the user cannot move the latch handle 1120 inward to retract the pin (the pin and the handle are not shown) from the handle.

[0088] Figure 12 Shows an example rack - mountable chassis system 1200. The rack - mountable chassis system 1200 can include a bezel assembly 1210 and a rack - mountable chassis 1220. The bezel assembly 1210 can be Figure 8 an example of the bezel assembly 800 of

[0089] Figure 13A and includes a first latch handle 1211 and a second latch handle 1212. The rack - mountable chassis 1220 can include a first handle 1221 and a second handle 1222. A key 1230 can be inserted into the slot 1215 of the bezel assembly 1210 to allow the user to retract the first latch handle 1211 and the second latch handle 1212 inward and remove the bezel assembly 1210 from the rack - mountable chassis 1220.

[0090] Figure 13B Shows Figure 13B the area 1330 of

[0091] Figure 14AShows an example partial internal view of the bezel assembly 1400. The bezel assembly 1400 can be Figure 8 an example of the bezel assembly 800 of. The bezel assembly 1400 can include a bezel body 1420, a latch handle 1430, and the latch handle 1430 has a pin 1431 that extends beyond the side of the bezel body 1420. The pin 1431 can engage with the handle 1441 of the rack-mountable chassis.

[0092] Figure 14B Shows another example partial internal view of the bezel assembly 1400. As shown, the latch handle 1430 can be moved inward so that the pin 1431 disengages from the handle 1441, thereby allowing the bezel assembly 1400 to be removed from or detached from the rack-mountable chassis.

[0093] Figure 15 Shows another example rack-mountable chassis assembly 1500. The rack-mountable chassis assembly 1500 can include a rack-mountable chassis 1510 and a bezel assembly 1520. The bezel assembly 1520 can include a locking button 1530, as shown by the insertion portion 1540. The locking button 1530 can detect when the bezel assembly 1520 is attached to the rack-mountable chassis 1510. Detecting whether the bezel assembly 1520 is attached to the rack-mountable chassis 1510 can enable the bezel assembly 1520 to be locked to the rack-mountable chassis 1510.

[0094] Figure 16 Shows Figure 15 another view of the rack-mountable chassis assembly 1500 of. The rack-mountable chassis 1510 can include a first handle 1640 and a second handle 1641. The bezel assembly 1520 can include a first latch handle 1610, a second latch handle 1611, and a slot 1620 that can accept a key 1630. When the key 1630 is fully inserted into the slot 1620, the first latch handle 1610 and the second latch handle 1611 can move inward, thereby retracting the pins (not shown) from the first handle 1640 and the second handle 1641. When the pins are retracted and moved inward, the bezel assembly 1520 can be detached from the rack-mountable chassis 1510.

[0095] Figure 17 Shows an exploded view of an example bezel assembly 1700. The bezel assembly 1700 can include a bezel body 1710, a first latch handle 1720, a second latch handle 1721, a first compression spring 1730, a second compression spring 1731, a locking rod 1740, and a locking button 1750. The first latch handle 1720 and the second latch handle 1721 can be in a manner similar to that described above regarding Figure 8functions in a similar manner as described for the bezel assembly 800. For example, the first compression spring 1730 can apply a force on the first latch handle 1720 to bias and push the first latch handle 1720 outward relative to the bezel assembly 1700. The second compression spring 1731 can apply a force on the second latch handle 1721 to bias and push the second latch handle 1721 outward relative to the bezel assembly 1700. The locking lever 1740 can rotate and, in some positions, limit or restrict the movement of the first latch handle 1720 and the second latch handle 1721, thereby locking the bezel assembly 1700 to the rack-mountable chassis.

[0096] Figure 18A An example rack-mountable chassis assembly 1800 including a bezel assembly 1810 and a rack-mountable chassis 1820 is shown. The rack-mountable chassis 1820 can include a first handle 1821 and a second handle 1822. The bezel assembly 1810 can include a first latch handle 1830, a second latch handle 1831, a locking lever 1840, and a locking button 1850.

[0097] Figure 18B is shown Figure 18A An internal view of the bezel assembly 1810 of. The bezel assembly 1810 can include a first latch handle 1830, a second handle 1831, a locking lever 1840, and a locking button 1850. Region 1860 is also shown. The locking lever 1840 located within region 1860 can at least partially control the locking function of the first latch handle 1830 and the second latch handle 1831. The operation of the locking lever 1840 is described in more detail below with respect to Figure 19 - Figure 21 is described in more detail.

[0098] Figure 18C is shown Figure 18B Region 1860 of, where the locking lever 1840 is in a first position. The first latch handle 1830, the second latch handle 1831, the locking lever 1840, and the locking button 1850 are also shown within region 1860. Additionally, a torsion spring (not shown) can be coupled to the locking lever 1840. The torsion spring can bias the locking lever 1840 to the first position as shown. In this position, the bezel assembly 1810 can be not attached to the rack-mountable chassis. Accordingly, the locking button 1850 can at least partially extend beyond one side of the bezel assembly 1810.

[0099] When the lock button 1850 extends at least partially beyond the bezel assembly 1810, the lock lever 1840 can be rotated to a first position that is at least partially biased by a torsion spring. In this first position, the first latch handle 1830 and the second latch handle 1831 can move freely inwardly relative to the bezel assembly 1810. In this way, a user can attach the bezel assembly 1810 to a rack-mountable chassis. For example, when the user pushes the bezel assembly 1810 toward the front panel of the rack-mountable chassis, the pins of the first latch handle 1830 and the second latch handle 1831 can contact the handle of the rack-mountable chassis and be pushed inwardly from the contact portion.

[0100] Figure 18D Region 1860 showing the lock lever 1840 in the second position is illustrated. The lock button 1850 can contact the rack-mountable chassis and become pushed inwardly. When the lock button 1850 is pushed inwardly, the lock button 1850 can cause the lock lever 1840 to rotate to Figure 19 the second position as shown in B. In the second position, the lock lever 1840 can inhibit or prevent the movement of the first latch handle 1830 and the second latch handle 1831 such that the user cannot push the first latch handle 1830 and the second latch handle 1831 inwardly to allow removal of the bezel assembly 1810 from the rack-mountable chassis.

[0101] Figure 18E Region 1860 showing the lock lever 1840 in the third position is illustrated. As shown, a key 1870 can be inserted into the slot 1871 and rotate the lock lever 1840 to the third position. In the third position, the lock lever 1840 has moved to a position that allows the first latch handle 1830 and the second latch handle 1831 to move inwardly and allows removal of the bezel assembly 1810 from the rack-mountable chassis.

[0102] Figure 19 An exploded view of an example handle 1900 is illustrated. The handle 1900 can include a housing 1910, an actuating lever 1920, a torsion spring 1930, and a pivot pin 1940. In some examples, the handle 1900 can be a quick-release handle that can detachably couple or attach a rack-mountable chassis to an equipment rack. For example, the handle 1900 can lock a rack-mountable chassis mounted on rack rails to an equipment rack. Generally, rack rails can be used to mount or attach various devices, particularly electrical devices, to an equipment rack. Although shown here as one rack unit high (e.g., 1U), in other examples, the handle 1900 can be scaled to any viable size and used with a rack-mountable chassis of any size.

[0103] The actuating lever 1920 can be pivotally coupled to the housing 1910 via a pivot pin 1940. The actuating lever 1920 can include a latch 1921. The latch 1921 can engage a hook (not shown) mounted to the equipment rack. A torsion spring 1930 can bias the position of the actuating lever 1920. As shown, the handle 1900 can be attached to the rack ear of the rack-mountable chassis 1950 with screws. In other examples, the handle 1900 can be attached to the rack-mountable chassis 1950 by any other feasible means.

[0104] Figure 20 An example hook assembly 2000 for engaging with Figure 19 the handle 1900 is shown. The hook assembly 2000 can include an equipment rack 2010, a rack rail 2020, and a hook 2030. The hook 2030 can be directly or indirectly coupled to the equipment rack 2010. Although only one side of the equipment rack 2010 is shown, the hook assembly 2000 can be replicated on either or both sides of the equipment rack 2010.

[0105] The rack rail 2020 can be used to slidably couple the rack-mountable chassis to the equipment rack 2010. Thus, in some examples, the rack rail 2020 can be attached to the equipment rack 2010. The hook 2030 can project or extend beyond the surface of the equipment rack 2010. In this way, the hook 2030 can engage Figure 19 the latch of the handle 1900.

[0106] Figure 21 An example hook attachment 2100 is shown. As shown, a hook 2110 (which can be Figure 20 an example of the hook 2030) can be coupled to a rack rail 2120 (which can be Figure 20 an example of the rack rail 2020). In some examples, the hook 2110 can be attached to the rack rail 2120 with screws 2130.

[0107] Figure 22A A first internal view of an enclosure system 2200 is shown. The enclosure system 2200 can include a handle 2210 and a hook 2240. The handle 2210 can include a torsion spring 2225 and an actuating lever 2220, and the actuating lever 2220 can in turn include a latch 2230.

[0108] As shown, the latch 2230 may not yet be engaged with the hook 2240. For example, a user can slide the rack-mountable chassis forward relative to the equipment rack towards the hook 2240. The torsion spring 2225 can bias the actuating lever 2220 to the first position as shown.

[0109] Figure 22BShows a second internal view of the housing system 2200. As the handle 2210 slides towards the hook 2240, the latch 2230 can contact the hook 2240. The hook 2240 can pivot the actuator lever 2220. The torsion spring 2225 can continue to bias the actuator lever 2220, in which case, allowing the actuator lever 2220 to deflect and pivot due to contact with the hook 2240.

[0110] Figure 22C Shows a third internal view of the housing system 2200. In this view, the handle 2210 has moved towards the hook 2240 such that the latch 2230 can fully engage the hook 2240. The torsion spring 2225 can continue to bias the actuator lever 2220 such that the latch 2230 can remain engaged with the hook 2240. In this way, the rack-mountable chassis can be locked to the equipment rack.

[0111] Figure 22D Shows a fourth internal view of the housing system 2200. In this view, the actuator lever 2220 can be pivoted by the user such that the latch 2230 can disengage from the hook 2240. For example, the user can overcome the biasing force provided by the torsion spring 2225. When the latch 2230 disengages from the hook 2240, the user can move the rack-mountable chassis away from the equipment rack.

[0112] Figure 23A Shows another view of the housing system 2300. The housing system 2300 can include a front panel 2310, a cover 2320, a bracket 2330, and screws 2340. In some examples, the front panel 2310 can be any feasible front panel of a rack-mountable chassis as described herein.

[0113] The cover 2320 can be used to attach, mount, or lock components, modules, display units, etc. in place relative to the inner surface of the front panel 2310. The cover 2320 can include a hinge 2325 that allows the cover 2320 to be pivotally coupled to the front panel 2310. In some examples, the bracket 2330 can capture and hold the hinge 2325 relative to the front panel 2310. The screws 2340 can be used to hold the bracket 2330 to the front panel 2310.

[0114] Figure 23B Shows Figure 24A Another view of the housing system 2300. As shown, the subassembly 2350 can be inserted into the front panel 2310. The subassembly 2350 can be any feasible subassembly, including but not limited to a display assembly. The cover 2320 can pivot away from the front panel 2310 to allow the subassembly 2350 to be set in place. For example, the cover 2320 can pivot on a hinge (not shown) captured by the bracket 2330.

[0115] Figure 23C Shows Figure 23A Another view of the housing system 2300 of Figure 23A . In this view, the cover 2320 has been rotated (pivoted) towards the front panel 2310 to hold a sub - assembly (not shown) in place. The cover 2320 may include one or more latch arms 2321 that can engage with holes 2311 in the front panel 2310. In this way, the latch arms 2321 can lock the cover 2320 to a position that holds any viable sub - assembly in place relative to the front panel 2310.

[0116] Figure 23D Shows Figure 23A Another view of the housing system 2300 of Figure 23A . In this view, the sub - assembly 2350 (which may be a display) has been attached and held in place relative to the front panel 2310.

[0117] Figure 24A Shows an example collapsible cable raceway system 2400. The collapsible cable raceway system 2400 can include any number of individual collapsible cable raceways. As shown, the collapsible cable raceway system 2400 can include collapsible cable raceways 2410, 2411, 2412, 2413, and 2414. Each of the collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 can be formed from a blank and can protect and enclose various wires and / or cables. For example, the collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 can wrap around wires and / or cables and add an insulating layer to the wires and / or cables. The collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 also guide the positioning (e.g., trimming) of various wires and / or cables. In some examples, the blank can be cut (e.g., die - cut) to have specific features that can form a hollow raceway. As shown, the collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 are collapsible to form a "U" - shaped channel to receive one or more cables. Additionally, the collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 can be used in a variety of applications. As shown herein, the collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 can be deployed within a power distribution unit (PDU). However, the collapsible cable raceways 2410 - 2414 can also be used within a rack - mountable chassis.

[0118] Figure 24B Shows another view of the collapsible cable raceway system 2400. In this view, the collapsible top sections of the cable raceways 2410 - 2414 have been folded and locked together (interlocked) to form a cable raceway or channel. In some examples, any of the cable raceways 2410 - 2414 may include one or more holes that can be used to attach or secure the associated raceway to a structure, component, or object.

[0119] Figure 25Shows various views of a blank 2500 for forming a collapsible cable raceway. The blank 2500 can be formed from any suitable material. In some examples, the blank can be formed from polyester film, polyimide film, polyurethane, Teflon, etc. The material can be partially or fully insulated. In some examples, the blank 2500 can be approximately 0.43 millimeters (mm) thick, but other thicknesses are possible.

[0120] The blank 2500 can include a plurality of sections. Some of the sections can be folded to form a cable raceway. For example, the blank 2500 can include a center panel 2510, a first collapsible panel 2520, a second collapsible panel 2521, a first top section 2530, and a second top section 2531. In some examples, the blank 2500 can be 218 mm long, but other lengths are possible.

[0121] The center panel 2510 can form the bottom or lower portion of the cable raceway. In some examples, the center panel 2510 generally can have a rectangular shape, although other shapes are possible.

[0122] The first collapsible panel 2520 and the second collapsible panel 2521 can be attached to opposite sides of the center panel 2510. The first collapsible panel 2520 and the second collapsible panel 2521 can form the sides of the raceway. In some examples, the length of the first collapsible panel and the second collapsible panel can be approximately 11 mm. The corresponding cable channel of the blank 2500 can be approximately 11 mm high. In some examples, the blank 2500 can include one or more pre-crease regions. For example, a first pre-crease 2540 can separate the first collapsible panel 2520 from the center panel 2510, and a second pre-crease 2541 can separate the second collapsible panel 2521 from the center panel 2510. The pre-crease can be any feature on the blank 2500 to assist a user in folding one or more sections of the blank 2500.

[0123] The first top section 2530 can be coupled to the first collapsible panel 2520 via a third pre-crease 2542, and the second top section 2531 can be coupled to the second collapsible panel 2521 by a fourth pre-crease 2543. The first top section 2530 and the second top section 2531 can include interlocking elements that enable the first top section 2530 and the second top section 2531 to be removably coupled to each other and thereby form a cable raceway to surround or enclose one or more cables. For example, the first top section 2530 can include one or more interlocking fingers 2550, and the second top section 2531 can include one or more interlocking tabs 2551. The interlocking tabs 2551 can be inserted between the interlocking fingers 2550 such that the interlocking fingers 2550 can capture or hold the interlocking tabs 2551. In some examples, the interlocking tabs 2551 can be approximately 13 mm high by 37 mm long. The corresponding interlocking fingers 2550 can be approximately 13 mm high.

[0124] It should be understood that all combinations of the foregoing concepts and additional concepts discussed in greater detail below (assuming such concepts are not mutually inconsistent) are contemplated as part of the inventive subject matter disclosed herein and can be used to achieve the benefits described herein.

[0125] When a feature or element is described herein as being "on" another feature or element, the feature or element can be directly on the other feature or element, or intervening features and / or elements may also be present. In contrast, when a feature or element is described as being "directly on" another feature or element, there are no intervening features or elements present. It should also be understood that when a feature or element is described as being "connected", "attached" or "coupled" to another feature or element, the feature or element can be directly connected, attached or coupled to the other feature or element, or intervening features or elements may be present. In contrast, when a feature or element is described as being "directly connected", "directly attached" or "directly coupled" to another feature or element, there are no intervening features or elements present. Although described or shown relative to one embodiment, the features and elements so described or shown can be applied to other embodiments. Those skilled in the art should also understand that references to a structure or feature being "adjacent" another feature can have portions that overlap or are beneath the adjacent feature.

[0126] The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and are not intended to limit the invention. For example, as used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising", when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items and may be abbreviated as " / ".

[0127] Spatial relative terms, such as "under", "below", "lower", "over", "upper", etc., may be used herein for convenience in describing the relationship of one element or feature to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is reversed, an element described as "under" or "beneath" another element or feature would then be oriented "over" the other element or feature. Thus, the exemplary term "under" can encompass both an orientation of "over" and "under". The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are to be interpreted accordingly. Similarly, the terms "upwardly", "downwardly", "vertical", "horizontal", etc. are used herein for illustrative purposes only unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0128] Although the terms "first" and "second" may be used herein to describe various features / elements (including steps), these features / elements should not be limited by these terms unless the context otherwise indicates. These terms may be used to distinguish one feature / element from another. Thus, without departing from the teachings of the invention, the first feature / element discussed below may be referred to as the second feature / element, and similarly, the second feature / element discussed below may be referred to as the first feature / element.

[0129] In this specification and the appended claims, unless the context requires otherwise, the term "comprise" and variations such as "comprises" and "comprising" mean that various components can be used together in a method and an article (e.g., a composition and an apparatus, including a device and a method). For example, the term "comprising" will be understood to imply the inclusion of any stated element or step, but not the exclusion of any other element or step.

[0130] Generally speaking, any device and method described herein should be understood to be inclusive, but all or a subset of the components and / or steps can alternatively be exclusive and can be expressed as "consisting of various components, steps, sub-components or sub-steps" or alternatively "consisting essentially of various components, steps, sub-components or sub-steps".

[0131] As used herein in the specification and claims, including in the examples, and unless otherwise expressly specified, all numbers can be understood as if prefaced by the word "about" or "approximately", even if the term does not expressly appear. The phrases "about" or "approximately" can be used when describing size and / or position to indicate that the described value and / or position are within a reasonable expectation of the value and / or position. For example, a numerical value can have a value of + / −0.1% of the stated value (or range of values), + / −1% of the stated value (or range of values), + / −2% of the stated value (or range of values), + / −5% of the stated value (or range of values), + / −10% of the stated value (or range of values), etc. Any numerical value given herein should also be understood to include about or approximate that value, unless the context otherwise indicates. For example, if the value "10" is disclosed, then "about 10" is also disclosed. Any numerical range recited herein is intended to include all sub-ranges subsumed therein. It should also be understood that when a value is disclosed, then "less than or equal to" that value, "greater than or equal to" that value, and the possible ranges between these values are also disclosed, as appropriately understood by a person skilled in the art. For example, if the value "X" is disclosed, then "less than or equal to X" and "greater than or equal to X" (e.g., where X is a numerical value) are also disclosed. It should also be understood that throughout this application, data is provided in a variety of different formats, and this data represents any combination of endpoints and starting points and ranges of data points. For example, if a particular data point "10" and a particular data point "15" are disclosed, then it should be understood that greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, less than or equal to, and equal to 10 and 15 and between 10 and 15 are considered disclosed. It should also be understood that each unit between two particular units is also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed.

[0132] Although the various illustrative embodiments are described above, any of several changes may be made to the various embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention as described in the claims. For example, in alternative embodiments, the order in which the various described method steps are performed can generally be changed, and in other alternative embodiments, one or more of the method steps can be skipped altogether. Optional features of the various apparatus and system embodiments may be included in some embodiments and not included in other embodiments. Accordingly, the foregoing description is provided primarily for exemplary purposes and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention as set forth in the claims.

[0133] The examples and illustrations included herein show specific embodiments in which the subject matter may be practiced by way of illustration and not of limitation. As noted, other embodiments may be utilized and derived therefrom, such that structural and logical substitutions and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure. For convenience only, these embodiments of the subject matter of the invention may be referred to herein individually or collectively by the term "invention", and if in fact more than one invention or inventive concept is disclosed, the scope of the application is not intended to be actively limited to any single invention or inventive concept. Thus, while particular embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, any arrangement that is recognized as achieving the same purpose may be substituted for the particular embodiments shown. The disclosure is intended to cover any and all modifications or variations of the various embodiments.
