Abstract

An adjustment device for a cable management arm includes a first support member, a second support member, and a positioning member. The first support member has a plurality of holes. The second support member is movably connected to the first support member and has a through hole. The positioning member is fixed to the second support member and has a positioning portion and a resilient section connected to the positioning portion. When in use, the positioning portion partially extends through the through hole, selectively extends through one of the holes, and then is positioned by a force of the resilient section, such that the extension-length of the second support member relative to the first support member is adjusted.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A cable management arm, comprising:
a first adjustment device, a second adjustment device, and an arm connected between the first and second adjustment devices, said first and second adjustment devices comprising:
a first support member having an end wall and a side wall substantially perpendicular and connected to the end wall, the side wall having a plurality of holes;
a second support member movably connected to the first support member and having a through hole; and
a positioning member fixed to the second support member and having a positioning portion and a resilient section connected to the positioning portion, wherein the positioning portion partially extends through the through hole of the second support member, selectively extends through one of the holes of the first support member, and then is positioned by a force of the resilient section, such that an extension-length of the second support member relative to the first support member is adjusted.

2. The cable management arm of claim 1 , wherein the end wall of the first support member of the first adjustment device and the end wall of the first support member of the second adjustment device are connected to a rack.

3. The cable management arm of claim 1 , further comprising a first pivoting member pivotally connected to the second support member of the first adjustment device and a second pivoting member pivotally connected to the second support member of the second adjustment device, said pivoting members removably connecting the arm to the first and second adjustment devices.

4. The cable management arm of claim 3 , wherein the pivoting member has a pivot and handle substantially perpendicular to and connected to the pivot.

5. The cable management arm as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the positioning member comprises an operation portion and a connection section connected to the operation portion, the operation portion extending an upward angle relative to the connection section, the connection section connected to one of the positioning portion and the resilient section.

6. The cable management arm as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the operation portion is located away from a fixed point of the positioning member, and the positioning portion is located between the operation portion and the resilient section.

7. The cable management arm as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the rack comprises at least two first posts and two second posts, and wherein a first slide assembly is connected between the two first posts, and a second slide assembly is connected between the two second posts.

8. The cable management arm as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the first support member of the first adjustment device is connected to the first post opposite the first slide assembly, and the first support member of the second adjustment device is connected to the second post opposite the second slide assembly.
