Cable Carrier Undercut Mounting for Fast Secure Assembly

The patent extracts the fastening function from separate additional elements and integrates it directly into the support device structure through undercut receptacles. The undercut geometry itself provides the locking mechanism, eliminating the need for separate fastening elements or locking tabs that would otherwise be required to achieve secure connection.

The undercut receptacles are designed to automatically lock the cable carrier in place through their geometric shape. When the cable carrier is inserted, the undercut features engage with corresponding features on the carrier, creating a self-locking mechanism that requires no manual intervention for fastening, thereby simplifying assembly while maintaining connection security.

Instead of requiring active manipulation (bending) of locking tabs during assembly, the patent inverts the approach by designing receptacles that passively engage and lock components through their undercut geometry. The locking action occurs automatically upon insertion, reversing the traditional sequence where components must be actively secured after positioning.

The patent replaces the manual mechanical action of bending locking tabs with a geometric interlocking system. The undercut receptacles create a mechanical lock through their shape alone, substituting the need for manual tab bending with an automatic geometric engagement mechanism that achieves the same stability without the time-consuming manual operation.
