DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0022] The following description is disclosed to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use the present invention. Preferred embodiments are provided in the following description only as examples and modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the following description would be applied to other embodiments, alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0023] The following further describes the present invention in detail with appended figures.

[0024] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the drawings, a cable organizer comprises an organizing body 1 generally having a U-shaped cross section, an organizing adapter 2 provided at a bottom side of the organizing body 1, a positioning unit upwardly extended from two sides of the bottom side of the organizing body 1, and a locking unit. The organizing adapter 2 has a through hole formed at the bottom side of the organizing body 1. The positioning unit comprises two positioning panels integrally, symmetrically and upwardly from the organizing body 1 to define a space therebetween, wherein the positioning panels are inclinedly and inwardly extended from the two sides of the bottom side of the organizing body 1 toward each other. The positioning panels are bendable toward each other. The locking unit comprises a locking head 4-1 integrally and upwardly extended from a top edge of each of the positioning panels.

[0025] The organizing adapter 2 further comprises a reinforcing rim 2-1 upwardly formed at the bottom side of the organizing body 1 around a peripheral edge of the through hole. The cable organizer further comprises two supporting walls 3-2 integrally and inwardly extended from inner sides of the positioning panels respectively. A width of each of the locking heads 4-1 is slightly smaller than a size of the through hole, such that the locking heads 4-1 can be inserted through the through hole of another cable organizer. Each of the positioning panels is constructed to have a first positioning wall 3-3 and a second positioning wall 3-4. Each of the first positioning walls 3-3 is perpendicularly extended from the bottom side of the organizing body 1. The second positioning walls 3-4 are integrally, inclinedly and inwardly extended from top edges of the first positioning walls 3-3 respectively. Each of the positioning panels further comprises a third positioning wall 3-1 upwardly and perpendicularly extended with respect to the bottom side of the organizing body 1, wherein the two third positioning walls 3-1 are integrally extended from top edges of the second positioning walls 3-4 respectively, such that the third positioning walls 3-1 are parallel to the first positioning walls 3-3. The supporting walls 3-2 are integrally, horizontally, and inwardly extended from bottom edges of the second positioning walls 3-4 respectively and are aligned with each other, wherein a gap is formed between two inner edges of the supporting walls 3-2. Each of the positioning panels further has a retention groove 3-5 inwardly formed at a top edge of the third positioning wall 3-1, wherein the retention groove 3-5 has a concave configuration inwardly bent at the top edge of the third positioning wall 3-1. A cable retention space is formed below the retention grooves 3-5, above the supporting walls 3-2, and between the third positioning walls 3-1 for matching with a diameter size of the cable so as to accommodate the cable in the cable retention space. The locking unit further comprises two reinforcing ribs 4-2 outwardly extended from two side edges of each of the locking heads 4-1, and a plurality of guiding walls 4-3 bent outwardly from the top edge of the positioning panels, wherein each of the locking heads 4-1 is located between two of the guiding walls 4-3.

[0026] In order to use the cable organizer of the present invention, a portion of the cable, having a corresponding diameter, is disposed at the cable retention space of the cable organizer through an opening between the positioning panels, such that the cable is clamped below the retention grooves 3-5, above the supporting walls 3-2, and between the third positioning walls 3-1 while the cable can be slid or freely rotate at the cable retention space. Then, the locking heads 4-1 can be pressed toward each other to close the opening and can be inserted into the through hole of another cable organizer. As a result, two cables are individually retained by two cable organizers and the cable organizers are detachably coupled with each other to hold the cables side-by-side, so as to complete the cable organizing process. It is worth mentioning that after the locking heads 4-1 of one cable organizer are inserted through the through hole of another cable organizer, the locking heads 4-1 are bounced back to engage the reinforcing ribs 4-2 with the reinforcing rim 2-1. In addition, after the locking heads 4-1 of one cable organizer are inserted through the through hole of another cable organizer, the guiding walls 4-3 of the cable organizer will bias against the bottom side of the organizing body 1 of another cable organizer, so as to prevent any wobbling movement between the two cable organizers and to enhance the stabilization between the two cable organizers, and to enhance the strength of the engagement between the two cable organizers.

[0027] One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described above is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting. It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. The embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
