  • Patent number: 8420942
    Abstract: A device for cable management having a first component and a second component. Each of the first and second components have a generally flat elongate sheet having longitudinal parallel edges which provide complementary inter-engaging of the first and second components. The width of the second component is greater than that of the first component such that when the edges of the second component are engaged with those of the first component, the second component adopts a curved profile.

  • Patent number: 7857270
    Abstract: A tilting mechanism comprises a first component intended to mount a flat panel display and a second component intended to be secured to a support. The first component has first and second pivots and the second component has first and second elongated slots into which the first and second pivots respectively are received so that the first component can be moved relative to the second component to adjust, in use, the tilt of the flat panel display. In use, an upper one of the elongated slots extends at an angle upwardly and forwardly of the second component, while the lower one of the elongated slots extends upright or upwardly and rearwardly of the second component.
