Adjustable cable securing system

Abstract

A system for securing cable within an enclosure is provided. This system includes an enclosure, wherein the enclosure further includes a bottom portion having a channel formed lengthwise therein; at least one spool mounted in the enclosure, wherein the at least one spool further includes a body having a channel formed therein and a base, and wherein a portion of the spool is inserted into the channel formed in the bottom portion of the enclosure; a length of cable, wherein a portion of the length of cable is inserted into the channel formed in the body of the at least one spool; and wherein rotating the base of the at least one spool winds the cable onto the body of the spool and secures the cable thereto.

1 . A system for securing cable within an enclosure, comprising:
 (a) an enclosure, wherein the enclosure further includes a bottom portion having a channel formed lengthwise therein;   (b) at least one spool mounted in the enclosure, wherein the at least one spool further includes a body having a channel formed therein and a base, and wherein a portion of the spool is inserted into the channel formed in the bottom portion of the enclosure;   (c) a length of cable, wherein a portion of the length of cable is inserted into the channel formed in the body of the at least one spool; and   (d) wherein the base of the at least one spool is rotated to wind the cable onto the body of the spool and secure the cable thereto.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the enclosure is a seat track cover. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one spool further includes a crown formed integrally with the body, wherein the crown further includes a channel formed therein, and wherein the channel formed in the crown is contiguous with the channel formed in the body. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one spool further includes a pedestal formed integrally with the base, wherein the pedestal further includes a multi-surfaced stem, and wherein the stem cooperates with the channel formed in the enclosure to stabilize the at least one spool within the enclosure. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein the pedestal further includes a slot formed in a bottom portion thereof for receiving a screwdriver head. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the channel formed in the body of the at least one spool includes a first concave surface and a second concave surface opposite the first concave surface. 
   
   
       7 . A device for securing cable within an enclosure, comprising:
 (a) a crown having a channel formed therein;   (b) a body formed integrally with the crown, wherein the body further includes a channel formed therein for receiving a length of cable, and wherein the channel formed in the body is contiguous with the channel formed in the crown;   (c) a base formed integrally with the body; and   (d) a pedestal formed integrally with the base, wherein the pedestal further includes a multi-surfaced stem adapted to cooperate with an enclosure for stabilizing the cable-securing device therein.   
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the body is substantially cylindrical in shape. 
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the channel formed in the body of the device includes a first concave surface and a second concave surface opposite the first concave surface. 
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the enclosure is a seat track cover, and wherein the seat track cover further includes a bottom portion having a channel formed lengthwise therein for receiving the multi-surfaced stem on the pedestal, and wherein the surfaces on the stem cooperate with the channel to stabilize the device within the seat track cover when the device is inserted into the channel. 
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the pedestal further includes a slot formed in a bottom portion thereof for receiving a screwdriver head. 
   
   
       12 . A method for securing cable within an enclosure, comprising;
 (a) providing an enclosure, wherein the enclosure further includes a bottom portion having a channel formed lengthwise therein;   (b) providing at least one spool, wherein the at least one spool further includes a body having a channel formed therein and a base, and wherein a portion of the at least one spool is adapted to be inserted into the channel in the enclosure;   (c) inserting a length of cable into the channel in the body of the at least one spool;   (d) inserting the spool into the channel formed in the bottom portion of the enclosure; and   (e) rotating the base of the at least one spool, wherein rotating the base winds the cable onto the body of the spool and secures the cable thereto.   
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein, the enclosure is a seat track cover. 
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one spool further includes a crown formed integrally with the body, wherein the crown further includes a channel formed therein, and wherein the channel formed in the crown is contiguous with the channel formed in the body. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one spool further includes a pedestal formed integrally with the base, wherein the pedestal further includes a multi-surfaced stem, and wherein the stem cooperates with the channel formed in the enclosure to stabilize the at least one spool within the enclosure. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the pedestal further includes a slot formed in a bottom portion thereof for receiving a screwdriver head. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the channel formed in the body of the at least one spool includes a first concave surface and a second concave surface opposite the first concave surface.
