  • Patent number: 6693238
    Abstract: An accessory for trunking includes a body provided at one end at least with attachment arrangements by which it can be attached locally to a longitudinal wall of the base section of the trunking. The attachment arrangements include a lug which can be clipped into a housing in the wall and includes an actuator tongue connected to a free end of the lug. The actuator tongue is accessible from the outside of the base section of the trunking and can be pulled in its longitudinal orientation direction to disengage from the housing the free end of the lug.

  • Publication number: 20030223810
    Abstract: A trunking angle accessory for establishing continuity between two differently oriented lengths of trunking each including a base section having two lateral flanges with rims that are directed toward each other and include means for fitting a length of cover section comprises two cheeks each adapted to establish a continuous wall between two lateral flanges of the two base sections. Each cheek carries a strip for establishing a continuous wall between the rims of two lateral flanges of the two base sections. The band of each cheek includes means for fitting a length of cover section which extend along a circular arc of given radius of curvature. The angle accessory therefore allows a single length of the cover section adapted to close the base sections to be fitted to the cheeks to close a portion of the base sections and the angle formed between the base sections with no gap or visible edge or crease in the angle.
