  • Patent number: 6874969
    Abstract: A trunking angle accessory for establishing continuity between two differently oriented lengths of trucking each including a base section having two lateral flanges with rims that are directed toward each other and include elements 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 elements for fitting a length of cover section which extend along a circular arc of given radius of curvature.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 6641092
    Abstract: A support for a device, in particular for an electrical device, to be attached to a base section of trunking with rims directed towards each other has two crossmembers which interengage with the rims and each of which is equipped with arrangements for fixing the device. The fixing arrangements are attached to each crossmember by a flexible connection catering for a slightly offset position of the fixing arrangements in the general direction of the crossmember relative to a stable original position when fixing the device to the support.

  • Patent number: 6599056
    Abstract: An angle accessory includes a mask extending between the covers of two conduit sections to be connected. An angle accessory includes two supports, one for each conduit section, each of those two supports having assembling parts for being directly mounted on the corresponding conduit section base and receiving parts for jointly fixing therein the mask, the mask being divided in two separate side walls, one side wall for each support, hence one side wall for each conduit section.

  • Patent number: 6513289
    Abstract: A retaining clip for trunking includes a fixing base attached locally to a longitudinal wall of a base section of the trunking, such as an internal partition thereof, and a retaining flap which is articulated to the fixing base and can move from a standby position, in which it allows unrestricted access to the underlying interior volume of the base section, to a service position, in which it closes that interior volume at least partly, extending substantially transversely relative to it. The retaining clip includes, independently of any member or component of the base section or of the trunking, a releasable locking system for locking the retaining flap in its service position. Applications include trunking for electrical devices.

  • Patent number: 6469250
    Abstract: A port accessory for trunking whose interior volume is divided into at least two compartments separated from each other by a partition wall and two cover sections associated with the respective compartments. In one compartment, of which the corresponding partition wall is a part, includes a longitudinal wall which is substituted for the partition wall and through which there is at least one port and a longitudinal engagement system for fastening it to the base section of the trunking. Applications include trunking for electrical devices.

  • Patent number: 5981872
    Abstract: An accessory of any kind, for example an end-cap, is designed to be fitted to the base of trunking. To make the retention of the end-cap to the trunking more firm, at least one thickness-increasing device is fitted to its base, before the end-cap, and forms a localized increased thickness on the base. Applications include moldings.
