  • Patent number: 8177172
    Abstract: A cable raceway of this kind consists of lengths of wire-type cable raceway comprising both essentially rectilinear lengthwise or weft wires (2) and polygonal-shaped transverse or warp wires (4), with an opening formed in a corner and an even number of sides. Each length comprises at least four lengthwise weft wires (2) supported by at least four separate sides (6, 8, 10, 12) of the transverse or warp wires. For each lengthwise weft wire (2) there is a lengthwise weft wire (2) on the opposite side. The two corresponding lengthwise or weft wires (2) are located opposite each other, that is to say they are both in the same plane and the plane is approximately parallel to one of the lengthwise faces of the cable raceway.

  • Patent number: 7608786
    Abstract: A splice plate which is used to connect two cable tray sections, whereby each section comprises longitudinal warp wires and transverse weft wires. The inventive splice plate has: an elongated base; a lateral flange, known as the upper flange, which extends essentially perpendicularly to the base from a first longitudinal edge of same; and a lateral flange, known as the lower flange, which extends essentially perpendicularly to the base from the longitudinal edge opposite the first longitudinal edge. Each of the two flanges is equipped with a notch that opens at the free edge of the corresponding flange, wherein said two notches are disposed facing one another. The upper lateral flange has coupling means on either side of the notch, which are intended to co-operate with a warp wire of a cable tray section.
