Abstract:
1. A strip device for affixing cables to a flat surface, the strip device comprising: a linear strip structure having a front flat surface and a back flat surface; the linear strip structure further comprises a plurality of channels, wherein each channel comprises a proximal opening on the front flat surface and a distal opening on the back flat surface, wherein the proximal opening allows a means for securing the linear strip structure to a flat surface to pass through the channel to contact the flat surface through the distal opening; the linear strip further comprises a plurality of cable retainers, wherein each cable retainer comprises a first and a second space defining member extending from the front flat surface, wherein the first space defining member further comprises a first arcuate distal end and the second space defining member further comprises a second arcuate distal end, further wherein the first arcuate distal end and the second arcuate distal end curve toward each other but do not contact each other to define a space adapted to hold cables, wherein the space comprises a top opening between the first arcuate distal end and the second arcuate distal end that allows passage of cables into the space; and, the linear strip further comprising a plurality of tongues extending laterally from the front flat surface, wherein each tongue extends between the first and second space defining members of the cable retainer, and wherein each tongue further comprises a first and second groove on opposite sides of the tongue.
