Abstract: A one-piece easily manufactured and economical unitary product that both facilitates the routing of cable and the storage of extra lengths of cable is provided in one embodiment by a cable management apparatus including a flange mate-able with an opening and a cable management structure connected to the flange. In various exemplary non-limiting embodiments, the innovation provides multimedia furniture that includes structure for supporting an entertainment device, at least one outwardly facing rear section, wherein the at least one outwardly facing rear section includes an opening through which a cable is receivable and a cable management apparatus disposed on the outwardly facing rear section, the cable management apparatus includes a flange mate-able with the opening and a cable management structure connected to the flange.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides hinging apparatuses, structures, and systems for folding support furniture systems, and methods of assembly therefor. The disclosed subject matter advantageously provides structurally rigid connections between component parts of support furniture systems, while allowing for durable support furniture. In various non-limiting embodiments, the provided hinging apparatuses allow for a folding support furniture system to be folded up for convenient and efficient storage and ease of transport. With the hinges extended to their designed extension point, and when fully assembled, the hinging apparatuses, in conjunction with the disclosed locking mechanisms provide the structural rigidity and load bearing capability necessary to support current and future home entertainment system weight loads, as well as providing numerous advantages for other support furniture markets.
