Cable fixer for an electronic device

Abstract

A cable fixer includes a clamp member and a cable-collecting body. The clamp member has upper and lower clamping arms, a lateral sidewall interconnecting the clamping arms, and a bolt extending outwardly from the lateral sidewall in a direction opposite to the clamping arms. The body has a rear wall formed with an opening for access thereinto. The opening is defined by an opening-confining wall that includes a leading portion defining an entrance and a terminating portion having a dimension smaller than that of the leading portion. The body further has two resilient restricting elements extending from opposite sides of the opening-confining wall into the terminating portion. The body can be mounted on the bolt of the clamp member by pushing the cable-collecting body against the bolt in such a manner that the latter extends into the terminating portion against urging action of the restricting elements.

1 . A cable fixer comprising: 
 a clamp member for clamping a table edge, and including upper and lower clamping arms, a lateral sidewall interconnecting the upper and lower clamping arms, and a bolt extending outwardly from the lateral sidewall in a direction opposite to the upper and lower clamping arms; and    a cable-collecting body having a rear wall formed with an opening for access thereinto, the opening being defined by an opening-confining wall that includes a leading portion defining an entrance and a terminating portion having a dimension smaller than that of the leading portion, the cable-collecting body further having a pair of resilient restricting elements extending from opposite sides of the opening-confining wall into the terminating portion;    wherein, after positioning the clamp member on the table edge, the cable-collecting body can be mounted on the bolt of the clamp member by pushing the cable-collecting body against the bolt in such a manner that the latter extends into the terminating portion against urging action of the restricting elements, thereby preventing untimely removal of the cable-collecting body from the clamp member.    
   
   
       2 . The cable fixer as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the bolt includes an enlarged head and a shank integrally formed with the enlarged head, the terminating portion having a dimension the same as the shank in order to receive snugly the shank within the terminating portion of the opening.  
   
   
       3 . A cable fixer comprising: 
 a clamp member for clamping a table edge, and including upper and lower clamping arms, a lateral sidewall interconnecting the upper and lower clamping arms, and a bolt extending outwardly from the lateral sidewall in a direction opposite to the upper and lower clamping arms, the bolt including an enlarged head and a shank having a cross-section smaller than the enlarged head; and    a cable-collecting body having a rear wall formed with an opening for access thereinto, the opening being defined by an opening-confining wall that includes a leading portion defining an entrance and a terminating portion having a dimension smaller than that of the leading portion, the cable-collecting body further having a pair of resilient restricting elements extending from opposite sides of the opening-confining wall into the terminating portion;    wherein, after assembly, the shank of the head is received snugly within the terminating portion of the opening by virtue of the restricting elements, thereby preventing untimely disengagement of the cable-collecting body from the clamp member.    
   
   
       4 . A cable fixer comprising: 
 a clamp member, including upper and lower clamping arms for clamping a table edge and a bolt extending outwardly in a direction opposite to the upper and lower clamping arms; and    a cable-collecting body having a rear wall formed with an opening for access thereinto, the opening being defined by an opening-confining wall that includes a leading portion defining an entrance and a terminating portion having a dimension smaller than that of the leading portion, the cable-collecting body further having a pair of resilient restricting elements extending from opposite sides of the opening-confining wall into the terminating portion;    wherein, after positioning the clamp member on the table edge, the cable-collecting body can be mounted on the bolt of the clamp member by pushing the cable-collecting body against the bolt in such a manner that the latter extends into the terminating portion against urging action of the restricting elements, thereby preventing untimely removal of the cable-collecting body from the clamp member.    
   
   
       5 . The cable fixer as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the bolt includes an enlarged head and a shank integrally formed with the enlarged head, the terminating portion having a dimension the same as the shank in order to receive snugly the shank within the terminating portion of the opening.  
   
   
       6 . A cable fixer comprising: 
 a clamp member for clamping a table edge, and including upper and lower clamping arms, a lateral sidewall interconnecting the upper and lower clamping arms, and a bolt extending outwardly from the lateral sidewall in a direction opposite to the upper and lower clamping arms, the bolt including an enlarged head and a shank having a cross-section smaller than the enlarged head; and    a cable-collecting body having a rear wall formed with an opening for access thereinto, the opening being defined by an opening-confining wall that includes a leading portion defining an entrance and a terminating portion having a dimension smaller than that of the leading portion, the cable-collecting body further having a pair of resilient restricting elements extending from opposite sides of the opening-confining wall into the terminating portion;    wherein, after assembly, the shank of the head is received snugly within the terminating portion of the opening by virtue of the restricting elements, thereby preventing untimely disengagement of the cable-collecting body from the clamp member.
