latch 106 as it extends upwards towards the anchor portion 102 the strain relief mechanism 100 also has a pivot portion 112 that is hingedly connected to the base portion 110 at second flexible hinge 114 pivot portion 112 also includes a second latch i e a pivot portion latch 116 that transitions from a third flexible hinge 128 the second latch 116 is locked into place in an enclosure 118 in the base portion 110 especially designed and configured to receive the pivot portion latch 116 one skilled in the art will realize that locking of the pivot portion to the base portion can also be easily attained by reversing the orientation of the second latch 116 and the enclosure 118 that is if the relevant portions of the strain relief device 100 were molded or otherwise formed u201c in reverse u201d the enclosure 118 would be in the pivot portion 112 and the second latch would extend from the base portion 110 yet the functionality would be identical the various portions of the strain relief device 100 are fabricated from a polymer 12 based material the material can be opaque or non opaque in one embodiment the strain relief device 100 is fabricated from grilamid which is a clear plastic material manufactured and sold by k mac plastics of kentwood mich one skilled in the art will realize that other types of materials are suitable for the application such materials are preferably non opaque so as to facilitate viewing of the fibers contained therein and relatively durable so as to withstand handling and installation into supporting frameworks and opening and closing of the device a material such as grilamid is known to also have desirable u201c living hinge u201d characteristics so as to provide the.
