Groovy Wire Tidy
Stop feeling like you're missing Bolognese Sauce behind your TV set | |
Simple idea for TV or Video manufacturers to take up.
At intervals along their power/speaker cables, provide movable(slide-able) plastic disks (approx 2-4" in diameter) with a number of narrow tapered radial cuts in them.
Gently press all those dangling video/Hi-Fi cables into the grooves to keep
them from getting tangled up.
(Retrofittable solution: Take a number of plastic cups, and slice 6-7 cuts down to the base of each. Open them out. Drill a whole in the centre of the bases (and a cut to allow them to be attached to cables)
what's this little gadget for?

sorry, consumer advice. [po, Jan 12 2006]
The image that popped in to my head

But, the slots would be deeper and uniform in size [half, Jan 12 2006]

Oh yes, I need something ,even if it's cable ties.If it comes with the product even better. [+] |

The plane of the disk is basically perpendicular to the wire on which it is attached (and the other inserted wires, for that matter)? |

I think the 2-4" diameter is throwing me off. That sounds pretty large for what I'm envisioning. |
|
| |
[half] yes. I wasn't sure about the size... Big enough to not be fiddly, i.e. not too small. |
|
| |
[po]It look's like a mini-flexible-n-way extension socket... as opposed to those blocks of sockets you usually get. |

[half, link] A wire gauge?.. yup, more or less exactly what I was thinking of (and why I described the plastic cup cheapo alternative - I wish I'd thought of that) |

//the slots would be deeper and uniform in size // tapered to allow for different thickness cables - one per slot > V < |
