Cable management apparatus

Abstract

A cable management apparatus includes a cable support, and a coil spring. The cable support includes a first support and a second support. A rail assembly includes an outer rail and an inner rail slidably attached to the outer rail. The first support is rotationally attached to the inner rail and the second support is rotationally attached to the outer rail. Opposite ends of the coiling spring is respectively connected to the first and second supports. The coiling spring is bendable to make an angle between the first and second supports be changeable.

1 . A cable management apparatus, the cable management apparatus comprising:
 a rail assembly comprising an outer rail and an inner rail slidably attached to the outer rail;   a first support comprising a first support section and a first rotation section, wherein the first rotation section is rotatably attached to the inner rail;   a second support comprising a second support section and a second rotation section, wherein the second rotation section is rotatably attached to the outer rail;   a connecting member comprising a first connecting part and a second connecting part, wherein the first connecting part connects with the first support section and the second connecting part connects with the second support section, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are capable of rotational relative movement; and   a coil spring bendable and comprising opposite ends respectively connected to the first support section and the second support section to rotatably link the first support section with the second support section.   
     
     
         2 . The cable management apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the inner rail comprises a first locking member and the outer rail comprises a second locking member, and the first rotation section is pivotably coupled to the first locking member and the second rotation section is pivotably coupled to the second locking member. 
     
     
         3 . The cable management apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of cable retainers, wherein at lease one cable retainer is located on each of the first and second supports. 
     
     
         4 . The cable management apparatus as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein each cable retainer comprises a wire bent into a U-shape; two coiled portions in axial alignment with each other are formed at opposite ends of the wire; and a middle portion of the wire extends towards the coiled portions to form a hook like structure.
