Abstract

A system includes a connector bracket. The connector bracket includes a first planar plate section defined by a top first planar surface, a bottom first planar surface, and first side edges, wherein the first planar plate section includes first holes extending between the top first planar surface and the bottom first planar surface. The connector bracket includes a second planar plate section defined by a top second planar surface, a bottom second planar surface, and second side edges, wherein the second planar plate section includes second holes extending between the top second planar surface and the bottom second planar surface. The connector bracket includes a groove section connected between the first planar plate section and the second planar plate section, wherein the groove section is defined by a groove that drops below the top first planar surface and the top second planar surface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system, comprising:
a connector bracket, comprising:
a first planar plate section defined by a top first planar surface, a bottom first planar surface, and first side edges, wherein the first planar plate section includes first holes extending between the top first planar surface and the bottom first planar surface;
a second planar plate section defined by a top second planar surface, a bottom second planar surface, and second side edges, wherein the second planar plate section includes second holes extending between the top second planar surface and the bottom second planar surface; and
a groove section, the groove section connected between the first planar plate section and the second planar plate section, wherein the groove section is defined by a groove that drops below the top first planar surface and the top second planar surface,
wherein the top first planar surface is coplanar with the top second planar surface;
a first cable connector; a first cable tie; a second cable connector; a second cable tie; a third cable tie; and at least one object; wherein the first cable connector is secured against the top first planar surface by the first cable tie, wherein the first cable tie passes through two of the first holes, wherein optionally the second cable connector is secured against the top second planar surface by the second cable tie, wherein optionally the second cable tie passes through two of the second holes; wherein the first connector and the second connector are connected to each other; wherein the connector bracket is secured to the at least one object by the third cable tie, wherein a portion of the third cable tie resides in the groove of the groove section and wraps around the at least one object.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first planar plate section is symmetric to the second planar plate section.

3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the groove section is defined by a groove that drops below the top first planar surface, the top second planar surface, the bottom first planar surface, and the bottom second planar surface.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein at least one of the first holes and at least one of the second holes are oblong slots.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein there are at least four first holes and at least four second holes.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein each of the top first planar surface, the top second planar surface, the bottom first planar surface, and the bottom second planar surface is rectangular or rectangular with at least one rounded corner.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one object comprises at least one of a cable raceway or at least one cable.

8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one object comprises the cable raceway.

9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one object comprises the at least one cable.

10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one object comprises the cable raceway and the least one cable.

11 . The system of claim 7 , further comprising a seat frame assembly comprising the cable raceway and the at least one cable, wherein the cable raceway is a seat cable raceway.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the seat frame assembly is a vehicle seat frame assembly.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the seat frame assembly is an aircraft seat frame assembly.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the first planar plate section is symmetric to the second planar plate section.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the groove section is defined by a groove that drops below the top first planar surface, the top second planar surface, the bottom first planar surface, and the bottom second planar surface.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein at least one of the first holes and at least one of the second holes are oblong slots.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein there are at least four first holes and at least four second holes.
