Splice plate for cable tray fitting
A fitting splice plate connects a cable tray fitting to a cable tray section. The fitting splice plate includes a guard extending in an outboard direction from a second longitudinal portion of a plate body adjacent a first longitudinal portion of the plate body. The guard is adjacent one of an upper side and a lower side of the second longitudinal portion. The fitting splice plate may include both upper and lower guards.
CABLE GUIDE AND MOTOR VEHICLE
The invention relates to a cable guide (1) for a cable connection between a vehicle body (52) and a sliding door (54) comprising a first connection device (4), a second connection device (2) and an energy chain (3) running between the first connection device (4) and the second connection device (2), which has a stretched configuration when the sliding door (54) is closed and a deflected configuration when the sliding door (54) is open, wherein the energy chain (3) has a first end link (42) at one end and a second end link (42) at the opposite end ( 22), wherein the first end link (42) is pivoted on the first connection device (4) and the second connection device (2) comprises a tensioning device (24) for the energy chain (3).
The cable guide (1) according to the invention is further characterized in that the second end link (22) of the energy chain (3) is mounted longitudinally movable on the second connection device (2) and is acted upon by the tensioning device (24) in such a way that, in stretched configuration of the energy chain (3), the second end link (22) is sustained in a floating equilibrium position movable in both directions.
The invention also relates to a motor vehicle (5) with a vehicle body (52) and at least one sliding door (54), which comprises a cable guide (1) according to the invention.
FOLDABLE CABLE TRAY
The present invention relates to a foldable cable tray configured for ease of transportation and for storage. The foldable cable tray includes a first side rail, a second side rail, a plurality of rungs movably connected to the first and second side rails to transit the foldable cable tray between unfolded and folded positions, and a locking device configured to lock each of the plurality of rungs to the first and second side rails when the foldable cable tray is in the unfolded position.
Overhead cable management system with integrated lighting
A cable management system may comprise a longitudinal trough with a plurality of lights disposed on an underside of the trough. A power connector may be disposed at an end of the trough communicatively coupled to the plurality of lights. The cable management system may also comprise a second trough or one of a plurality of cable management components, each with a plurality of lights disposed on an underside and a power connector communicatively coupled to the pluralities of lights. The first trough, the second trough, and/or the plurality of cable management components may mate together to form a continuous circuit.
Cable tray system
A collection of components for a cable tray system provide the components and basic hardware for assembling and installing a cable tray that can change direction in three dimensions to avoid obstacles or other cables' trays while negotiating a designated space. Components of the cable tray system may be modular, that is, pre-configured for ease of assembly, such as vertical kits and horizontal bend kits, while others are supplied in lengths for cutting them to fit jobsite requirements, such as rails and rungs. Both components provide an inherent framework that facilitates conceptualization and construction of a cable tray system at the jobsite with flexibility and simplicity to allow the present cable tray system to be employed more efficiently and accurately.
Locking snap-on splice for cable basket
A bracket secured to adjacent cable baskets to form a cable routing pathway. The bracket includes a splice and a locking latch slidingly secured to the splice. The splice has a base with a top, a bottom, a first end, and a second end. The first end member extends from the first end of the base and a second end member extends from the second end of the base. The first end member and the second end member each include a vertical slot. The locking latch extends through the vertical slot of the first end member and the vertical slot of the second end member to secure the splice to the adjacent cable baskets.
Dual tongue strap cleat bracket
A bracket secured to a support member. The bracket receives a locking strap cleat to secure a cable bundle to the support member. The bracket has a first tongue, a second tongue parallel to the first tongue, and a riser section connecting the first tongue and the second tongue. The first tongue and the second tongue include slots. The first tongue of the bracket receives one of the cable bundle or the support member and the second tongue of the bracket receives one of the cable bundle or the support member.
Cable Mounting System with Cable Expansion Compensation
A cable mounting system that allows thermal expansion and contraction of cables. The cable mounting system includes straight ladder rack segments and widened ladder rack segments positioned adjacent the straight ladder rack segments. Cable bracket assemblies are mounted to the straight ladder rack segments and saddle bracket assemblies are mounted to the widened ladder rack segments. The cable bracket assemblies secure cables to the ladder rungs of the straight ladder rack segments and allow axial movement of the cables. The saddle bracket assemblies secure the cables on the ladder rungs of the widened ladder rack segments and allow axial and lateral movement of the cables.
Cable Tray Assembly
A cable tray assembly includes first and second cable tray sections each including a base and rails extending transversely from longitudinal sides of the base. At least one of the base and the rails defines a plurality of holes. A splice plate is configured to engage the first and second cable tray sections for attaching the first cable tray section to the second cable tray section. The splice plate defines a plurality of holes. At least one snap-fit connector includes a head and a plurality of resiliently deflectable arms extending from the head. The arms of the connector are configured to extend through aligned holes in the splice plate and one of the cable tray sections to secure the splice plate to said one of the cable tray sections.
Cable tray section
The present invention relates to a cable tray section which allows being successively coupled to another tray section (1) having similar features, without needing accessories or angle requirements on the horizontal plane, comprising longitudinal metal wires (10); U-shaped transverse metal wires (20); at least one anchoring element (30) installed between the longitudinal wires (10), attached to the last and next to last transverse wires (20), and comprising a single metal wire (31) close to the next to last transverse wire (20); and a pair of straight sections (32, 32′) parallel to one another; where the straight sections (32, 32′) project with respect to the last transverse wire (20), forming a rectangular section (33) perpendicular to the straight sections (32, 32′), such that there is established a free space (40) between the last transverse wire (20) and said rectangular section (33); said space (40) having a dimension corresponding to the thickness of a transverse wire (20).
