  • Patent number: 11777287
    Abstract: A cable tray cover for a substantially U-shaped cable tray having a base portion and two opposing sidewalls extending upward generally perpendicular to base portion. The cover includes a plurality of interlocking cover panels for covering cable carried by the cable tray, with each cover panel having a top side, with a first end and a second end, with each cover panel configured to extend transverse across the tray. The first end of each cover panel includes a hinge point to allow the second end of the cover panel to rotate and overlap the second end of an adjacent cover panel for use in a radius section of the cable tray. The cover panels may include a hinge slot and a hinge tab, wherein the hinge tab of a cover panel may be placed through the hinge slot of an adjacent cover panel to form the hinge point.

  • Patent number: 11664646
    Abstract: A cable tray system including two or more cable tray sections comprising a first side rail and a second side rail arranged substantially parallel to one another and a floor extending between. The tray system also includes one or more flex-wires for joining the cable tray sections, where the flex-wires can be U— or loop-shaped.

  • Patent number: 11002384
    Abstract: A cable conveyance assembly having a primary tray section and a splice, each with a horizontal floor and two vertical sidewalls. Each of the sidewalls of the primary tray section includes a ridge on an exterior surface located proximate the floor of the primary tray section and a lip located distally from the floor extending outwardly and downwardly from each sidewall forming a notch spaced outwardly from the exterior surface of each sidewall. The sidewalls of the splice include a glide channel formed on an interior surface of each sidewall proximate the floor of the splice so that splice may be slideably engaged with the primary tray section such that the ridge of the sidewalls of the primary tray section is aligned with and mates with the glide channel on each sidewall of the splice.
