Flexible-member-routing arrangement and bracket

Abstract

An assembly comprises a flexible member that extends through an aperture defined by a divider component. A distal portion of the flexible member extends away from the assembly at an angle. A first flexible-member-routing bracket is mounted to the divider component and has one or more guide structures that function to facilitate a gradual transition of the flexible member from the direction it extends in as it passes through the aperture defined by the divider component to the direction its distal portion extends in.

 (a) said second flexible-member-routing bracket comprises opposite-side leading guide-structure that is directly or indirectly fixedly engaged to said opposite-side trailing guide-structure and is disposed upon a same side of said divider component as said opposite-side trailing guide-structure;    (b) said opposite-side leading guide-structure defines an opposite-side leading guide-surface that is disposed adjacent to said flexible-member-routing aperture at a position closer thereto than said opposite-side trailing guide surface in both directions perpendicular to said aperture axis and directions parallel to said aperture axis;    (c) said opposite-side leading guide-surface is disposed at an angle of less than 60 degrees relative to said aperture axis;    (d) said opposite-side leading guide-surface is disposed at an angle of at least 30 degrees relative to said opposite-side trailing guide-surface; and    (e) an opposite-side leading portion of said opposite-side transition portion of said flexible member extends adjacent said opposite-side leading guide-surface.    
     
     
         63 . The assembly of  claim 62 , wherein: 
 (a) said leading portion of said transition portion of said flexible member is strapped to said leading guide-structure.    
     
     
         64 . The assembly of  claim 63 , wherein: 
 (a) said opposite-side leading portion of said opposite-side transition portion of said flexible member is strapped to said opposite-side leading guide-structure.    
     
     
         65 . The assembly of  claim 30 , wherein: 
 (a) said first flexible member comprises an opposite-side distal portion that is disposed upon a side of said penetrating portion of said flexible member opposite said distal portion of said flexible member;    (b) said opposite-side distal portion of said flexible member extends away from said flexible-member-routing aperture at an angle greater than 30 degrees with respect to said aperture axis;    (c) said flexible member comprises an opposite-side transition portion that extends between said penetrating portion and said opposite-side distal portion;    (d) an opposite-side leading portion of said opposite-side transition portion of said flexible member extends adjacent said opposite-side leading guide-surface;    (e) said first flexible-member-routing bracket comprises opposite-side trailing guide-structure that is disposed upon a side of said divider component opposite said mounting structure;    (f) said first flexible-member-routing bracket comprises intermediate guide structure that is engaged to and extends between said opposite-side leading guide-structure and said opposite-side trailing guide-structure;    (g) said opposite-side trailing guide-structure defines an opposite-side trailing guide-surface that is disposed farther from said flexible-member-routing aperture than said opposite-side leading guide-surface in both directions parallel to said aperture axis and directions perpendicular to said aperture axis;    (h) said opposite-side trailing guide-surface is disposed at an angle of at least 30 degrees relative to said aperture axis and also at an angle of at least 30 degrees relative to said opposite-side leading guide-structure; and    (i) an opposite-side trailing portion of said opposite-side transition portion of said flexible member extends adjacent to said opposite-side trailing guide-surface.    
     
     
         66 . The assembly of  claim 65 , wherein: 
 (a) said opposite-side leading portion of said opposite-side transition portion of said flexible member is strapped to said opposite-side leading guide-structure and/or said opposite-side trailing portion of said opposite-side transition portion is strapped to said opposite-side trailing guide-structure.    
     
     
         67 . The assembly of  claim 29 , wherein: 
 (a) said trailing guide-surface faces away from said flexible-member-routing aperture.
