Cable management device

Abstract

A cable management device includes a first main body and a second main body. The second main body is connected with the first main body. The second main body is elastically deformable, and selectively in an unwrapped state or a wrapped state. When an elongated strip of the second main body is in the unwrapped state, two ends of the elongated strip are far away from each other. Consequently, a connecting cable can be easily wound around the first main body. In response to an external force, the second main body is elastically deformed to the wrapped state. In the wrapped state, the two ends of the second main body are close to each other, and the connecting cable on the first main body is confined. Consequently, the cable management device can protect the connecting cable, and the cable management device has a compact and small size.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cable management device, comprising:
 a first main body having at least one outer surface as a winding shaft, wherein a connecting cable is wound around the at least one outer surface; and   a second main body connected with the first main body, wherein the second main body is elastically deformable and selectively in an unwrapped state or a wrapped state, wherein when the second main body is in the wrapped state, the first main body is wrapped by the second main body, and an interspace is formed between the second main body and the outer surface of the first main body, so that the connecting cable wound around the at least one outer surface is disposed within the interspace and held between the first main body and the second main body.   
     
     
         2 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a connection element, wherein the first main body and the second main body are connected with each other through the connection element, wherein the connection element comprises an extension structure of the first main body and a complementary structure of the second main body matching the extension structure; or the connection element comprises an extension structure of the second main body and a complementary structure of the first main body matching the extension structure; or the connection element is an individual component for connecting the first main body and the second main body; or the connection element is integrally formed with the first main body and the second main body. 
     
     
         3 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second main body is an elongated flat strip having a first end and a second end, wherein a junction between the first main body and the second main body is located at the first end, at the second end or between the first end and the second end. 
     
     
         4 . The cable management device according to  claim 3 , wherein when the second main body is in the unwrapped state, the first main body is not covered by the first end and/or the second end of the second main body, and the first end and the second end are far away from or close to each other, wherein when the second main body is in the wrapped state, the first end and the second end of the second main body are close to each other or overlapped on the outer surface of the first main body. 
     
     
         5 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first main body is fixedly, rotatably or movably connected with the second main body, or the first main body is integrally formed with the second main body. 
     
     
         6 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the first main body has one or more openings or cavities. 
     
     
         7 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first main body is a solid body, or the first main body has an accommodation space that is defined by the outer surface. 
     
     
         8 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the second main body is a resilient strip made of a metallic material, an alloy material, a plastic material or a composite material. 
     
     
         9 . The cable management device according to  claim 1 , wherein the first main body is a solid body, a hollow body with rigidity, or an elastic body. 
     
     
         10 . A cable management device, comprising:
 a first main body used as a winding shaft, wherein a connecting cable is wound around the first main body; and   a second main body connected with the first main body, and comprising an elongated strip with a first end and a second end, wherein when the second main body is in an unwrapped state, the first main body is uncovered by at least one of the first end and the second end of the second main body, wherein when the second main body is in a wrapped state, the first end and the second end of the second main body are close to each other and disposed around the first main body.   
     
     
         11 . The cable management device according to  claim 10 , further comprising a connection element, wherein the first main body and the second main body are connected with each other through the connection element, wherein the connection element comprises an extension structure of the first main body and a complementary structure of the second main body matching the extension structure; or the connection element comprises an extension structure of the second main body and a complementary structure of the first main body matching the extension structure; or the connection element is an individual component for connecting the first main body and the second main body; or the connection element is integrally formed with the first main body and the second main body.
