  • Apparatus and method for cable management
    Patent number: 7057889
    Abstract: A monitoring device comprises a housing, a sensing device movable relative to the housing, and a cable having one end secured relative to the housing and another end secured to the sensing device. The housing includes a channel disposed therein and a portion of the cable is disposed in the channel for temporarily storing the cable. In one embodiment, a display screen is disposed in the housing, and the channel is disposed around at least a portion of a perimeter of the display screen. The cable may have a relaxed outside diameter greater than its stretched outside diameter, as in a coiled cable, thus allowing the cable to be stretched, inserted into the channel, and released to secure the cable in the channel. The cable may also be received in the channel in press-fit fashion.
