Abstract:
1. A cable storage device, comprising: a chamber; a chamber path defining an opening in the chamber, the opening separating a first chamber wall and a second chamber wall of the chamber, and a first coupler element attached to the first chamber wall and a second coupler element attached to the second chamber wall, the first and second coupler elements being oriented in a confronting relationship relative to each other, wherein the first and second coupler elements are fabricated from a material which exhibits a greater flexibility than a material of fabrication of the chamber, wherein the chamber is configured to detachably secure a cable in the chamber path with the first and second coupler elements; and wherein due to a force imparted by the first and second chamber walls, application of pressure on the first and second coupler elements at a portion along a length of the first and second coupler elements causes the first and second coupler elements to yield at the portion to widen the chamber path between the first and second coupler elements at the portion, while maintaining a width of the chamber path between the first and second coupler elements along the remaining length of the first and second coupler elements.
