Abstract:

A tubing organizer apparatus includes a body member that extends radially outwardly from a central axis. The body member has opposite surfaces and a peripheral wall that is disposed between the opposite surfaces to define a thickness and extends circumferentially about the central axis. The peripheral wall includes a plurality of exterior wall segments facing outwardly relative to the central axis and a plurality of interior wall segments connected to the exterior wall segments. The plurality of interior wall segments are configured to form a corresponding plurality of notches extending inwardly between consecutive ones of the exterior wall segments and into the body member relative to the central axis. The tubing organizer apparatus might also include a support structure sized and adapted for rotatably mounting the body member thereto. Also, the tubing organizer apparatus might include a plurality of gates with each gate spanning across a respective notch adjacent consecutive ones of the exterior wall segments.
