ABSTRACT:
A wire management grommet for routing wiring or cables through the surface of furniture articles comprises a liner and a cap having a slot opening and a captive closure member. A tongue and groove arrangement facilitates slidable movement of the closure member within the cap's slot opening. The closure member is locked into its closed position covering the slot through a detent mechanism. A pin and groove arrangement facilitates both the closure member's captivity to the cap and its downward pivoting movement away from the slot opening and into its retracted position. The closure member is stabilized, through interaction with the cap, when the closure member is in its open position. The operation of the closure member from its closed position covering the slot opening to its retracted position exposing the opening comprises three distinct movements.
