Cable Securing Device

Abstract

A cable securing device for installing and removing cable or wire through a wall. The cable securing device includes a rod having a first rod section, a second rod section, and a fastener disposed on each end capable of securing a cable thereto. The first rod section is movably secured to the second rod section in order to allow a user to independently rotate each end when installing cable to one of the fasteners. In operation of one embodiment, the user secures a new cable to a first threaded fastener and an old cable to a second threaded fastener. The rod sections are attached to each other if they had not been previously attached, and the new cable is threaded into the wall and old cable is removed from the wall through a single action by the user.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A cable securing device, comprising:
 a rod having a first rod section affixed to a second rod section at a middle section, wherein the first rod section comprises a first fastener disposed at a first distal end thereof and the second rod section comprises a second fastener disposed at a second distal end thereof;   wherein each fastener is configured to secure one or more cables thereto.   
     
     
         2 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , wherein the middle section comprises a diameter smaller than any diameter of either the first rod section or second rod section. 
     
     
         3 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , wherein each fastener is threaded. 
     
     
         4 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first rod section is removably secured to the second rod section at a first medial end and a second medial end via a rod section fastener. 
     
     
         5 . The cable securing device of  claim 4 , wherein the rod section fastener comprises the first medial end of the first rod section having a recess configured to receive a shaft on the second medial end of the second rod section, wherein the recess and shaft are magnetically securable to one another. 
     
     
         6 . The cable securing device of  claim 4 , wherein the rod section fastener comprises a ball detent latching mechanism. 
     
     
         7 . The cable securing device of  claim 4 , wherein the rod section fastener comprises mating threads. 
     
     
         8 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first rod section is coaxial with the second rod section. 
     
     
         9 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first rod section and the second rod section each comprises a uniform diameter along an entire length thereof and wherein the first rod section and the second rod section comprises a same length. 
     
     
         10 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a recess disposed on the first rod section and a lip extending around the recess, wherein a diameter of the lip is smaller than a diameter of a base of the recess;   a notch disposed on the second rod section and received within the base of the recess, wherein the lip prevents the second rod section from separating from the first rod section;   the recess having a larger diameter than a diameter of the notch such that the second rod section is configured to rotate relative to the first rod section.   
     
     
         11 . The cable securing device of  claim 1 , further comprising a third fastener extending from the first rod section configured to allow an additional cable to be secured to the first rod section. 
     
     
         12 . The cable securing device of  claim 11 , wherein the third rod fastener extends from the distal end of the first rod section. 
     
     
         13 . The cable securing device of  claim 11 , wherein a flexible member connects the first rod fastener and the third rod fastener to the distal end of the first rod section, such that the first and third rod fasteners are configured to reposition relative to each other and the first rod section.
