  • Secure raceway with lockable access
    Patent number: 7408121
    Abstract: A raceway system having forwardly open channel-shaped base members with opposed longitudinally extending side walls, and the side walls including inwardly and rearwardly projecting marginal edge flanges, the improvement wherein the raceway covers must be slid into these elongated base members to define at least one wireway therebetween, the covers including clips with wing portions adapted for nesting relationship between the base side walls and the base marginal edge flanges, whereby the covers cannot be disassembled from the base members as a result of flexing the base side walls, but must be disassembled by sliding them apart. These clips also include leg portions that extend well inside the base to prevent attempts to push the cover into the base, and thereby spread the base side walls to gain access to the interior wireway(s).
