Abstract
A cabinet includes chassis with an inner surface, a drawer slidably connected with the chassis, a cable chain comprises a plurality of chain monomers, and a spring fastened on the inner surface. Each immediately-adjacent two chain monomers are pivotally concatenated, and the cable chain is bendable within the same plane. An end of the cable chain is connected the inner surface and the cable chain bends back to connect the drawer with the other end thereof. The spring contacts a part of the cable chain to push the part of the cable chain toward the inner surface.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A cabinet, comprising,
a chassis having an inner surface; a drawer being slidably connected with the chassis; a cable chain comprises a plurality of chain monomers, each immediately-adjacent two chain monomers being pivotally concatenated, one end of the cable chain is connected the inner surface and the cable chain bends back to connect the drawer with the other end thereof, wherein the cable chain is bendable within the same plane; and a spring fastened on the inner surface and contacted a part of the cable chain to push the part of the cable chain toward the inner surface.
2 . The cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the spring pushes the part of the cable chain against the inner surface.
3 . The cabinet of claim 1 , wherein a spring force of the spring is from 0 Newton to about 4 Newtons.
4 . The cabinet of claim 3 , wherein the maximum of the spring force is from about 3 Newtons to about 3.5 Newtons.
5 . The cabinet of claim 1 , wherein each chain monomer comprises a through hole, and when the chain monomers concatenated, the through holes thereof joined each other to form a continuous tube for containing at least a cable.
6 . The cabinet of claim 1 , wherein the cable chain comprising:
a plurality of clockwise chain monomers concatenated to form a plurality of clockwise sections, wherein an included angle between each two immediately-connected clockwise chain monomers consists of a range of 0 degree to 180 degrees; and a plurality of counter-clockwise chain monomers concatenated to form a plurality of counter-clockwise sections, and the clockwise sections and the counter-clockwise sections being alternatively arranged and connected in a series, wherein an included angle between each two immediately-connected counter-clockwise chain monomers consists of a range of 180 degrees to 360 degrees.
7 . A cabinet, comprising:
a chassis having an inner surface; a drawer being slidably connected with the chassis; a cable chain comprising:
a plurality of clockwise chain monomers concatenated to form at least a clockwise section, wherein an included angle between each two immediately-connected clockwise chain monomers consists of a range of 0 degree to 180 degrees; and
a plurality of counter-clockwise chain monomers concatenated to form at least a counter-clockwise section and at least a lengthening section, wherein an included angle between each two immediately-connected counter-clockwise chain monomers consists of a range of 180 degrees to 360 degrees,
the lengthening section being connected the inner surface and bent back to be series connected to the clockwise section, and the counter-clockwise section being connected the drawer and series connected to the clockwise section, wherein the clockwise section, the counter-clockwise section and the lengthening section are bendable within the same plane, and when the drawer slides forward to the chassis along the slide, the clockwise section and the counter-clockwise section are bent back and forth between the chassis and the drawer; and
a spring fastened on the inner surface and contacted a part of the lengthening section to push the part of the lengthening section toward the inner surface,
8 . The cabinet of claim 7 , wherein each of the clockwise chain monomers and the counter-clockwise chain monomers has a through hole penetrated thereof, and the through holes joining each other to form a continuous tube for containing at least a cable.
9 . The cabinet of claim 7 , wherein the spring pushes the part of the lengthening section against the inner surface.
10 . The cabinet of claim 6 , wherein a spring force of the spring is from 0 Newton to about 4 Newtons.
11 . The cabinet of claim 10 , wherein the maximum of the spring force is from about 3 Newtons to about 3.5 Newtons,
12 . A cabinet, comprising:
a chassis having an inner surface; a drawer being slidably connected with the chassis; a cable chain comprising:
a plurality of clockwise chain monomers concatenated to form a plurality of clockwise sections, wherein an included angle between each two immediately-connected clockwise chain monomers consists of a range of 0 degree to 180 degrees; and
a plurality of counter-clockwise chain monomers concatenated to form a plurality of counter-clockwise sections and at least a lengthening section, wherein an included angle between each two immediately-connected counter-clockwise chain monomers consists of a range of 180 degrees to 360 degrees,
the lengthening section being connected the inner surface and bent back to be series connected to one of the clockwise sections, the clockwise sections and the counter-clockwise sections being alternatively arranged and connected in a series, and either one of the clockwise sections or one of the counter-clockwise sections being connected the drawer, wherein the clockwise sections, the counter-clockwise sections and the lengthening section are bendable within the same planer and when the drawer slides forward to the chassis along the slide, the clockwise sections and the counter-clockwise sections are bent back and forth between the chassis and the drawer; and
a spring fastened on the inner surface and contacted a part of the lengthening section to push the part of the lengthening section toward the inner surface.
13 . The cabinet of claim 12 , wherein each of the clockwise chain monomers and the counter-clockwise chain monomers has a through hole penetrated thereof, and the through holes joining each other to form a continuous tube.
14 . The cabinet of claim 13 , further comprising at least a cable disposed in the continuous tube.
15 . The cabinet of claim 14 , further comprising at least an electronic device located in the drawer and electrically connected to the cable.
16 . The cabinet of claim 12 , wherein a number of the clockwise chain monomers of each counter-clockwise section is from 3 to 6.
17 . The cabinet of claim 12 , wherein a number of the counter-clockwise chain monomers of each counter-clockwise section is from 3 to 6.
18 . The cabinet of claim 12 , wherein the spring pushes the part of the lengthening section against the inner surface.
19 . The cabinet of claim 12 , wherein a spring force of the spring is from 0 Newtons to about 4 Newtons.
20 . The cabinet of claim 19 , wherein the maximum of the spring force is from about 3 Newtons to about 3.5 Newtons.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
