Abstract: A cable support system uses at least one connection element to hold together two cable support device elements at an overlapping connection section. Each cable support device element has at least one contact face within its connection section. The contact faces of the cable support device elements are in contact. The connection element includes a press-on section and latching arms on opposite sides of the press-on section. Each latching arm includes a connection limb and a hook element on the free end of the connection limb. At least one of the latching arms has spring-elastic material properties. In use, the connection limbs extend through the contact faces. The connection element is held under spring prestress with its press-on section on the surface of one cable support device element's connection section and its hook elements on the opposite surface of the second cable support device element's connection section.

Abstract: An arrangement serves for establishing a connection between two cable support device elements 1, 4 disposed in the region of a connection section 2, 7 such that they overlap for forming a cable support system utilizing at least one connection element 12 retaining together the two cable support device elements 1, 4. It is herein provided that each cable support device element 1, 4 within its connection section(s) 2, 7 has (have) at least one contact face 6, 23, on which, after the cable support device elements 1, 4 have been connected, is in contact with a contact face 23, 6 of the other cable support device element 4, 1 and each contact face 6, 23 is delimited on two sides by breakthroughs 5, 5? extending through the particular connection section 2, 7 bearing the contact face 6, 23, and/or by an edge 9 of the connection section 7.

Abstract: A cable-guide trough has a set of like U-shaped cross wires aligned with one another and lying in respective generally parallel and longitudinally spaced planes so as to form a trough with a horizontal floor and two upright sides. A set of generally parallel longitudinal wires is joined to the cross wires at the floor and sides. One of the sets is formed at the floor in upper and lower layers vertically flanking the other of the sets at the floor. The wires are all of identical cross-sectional size and shape. Both sets of wires are formed as two layers in the trough floor to produce a four-layer floor. Each wire of the lower layer lies directly underneath a respective one of the wires of the upper layer. The one set can be the longitudinal wires or the cross wires in a three-layer system. Furthermore the one set can be formed in the trough sides as inner and outer layers horizontally flanking the other of the sets at the trough sides.

Abstract: A pair of wire channels each have a cross U-shaped end wire of predetermined diameter joined to ends of longitudinal wires. A U-shaped clip engages around the end wires between a respective pair of the longitudinal wires. It has a floor engaging the two end wires and is formed with a pair of flanks each engaging a respective one of the ends wires and each formed with a respective formation retaining the respective end wire against the floor.
