Abstract
Description
- Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the raceway being the object of the present invention;
- Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the raceway in question in which two hollow spaces for housing the conductors and different cables are provided;
- Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a detail of an electric conductor to an enlarged scale;
- Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the raceway showing three connectors the clamp elements of which are engaged to respective electric conductors for connecting said conductors to an external power line;
- Fig. 5 is a sectional view along line V-V in Fig. 4;
- Fig. 6 shows the raceway in question at an area in which a branching is provided for installation of an outlet; and
- Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the supporting portion for the electric conductors to which a longitudinal protection panel is engaged.
It will be recognized, in fact, that since the
Claims (7)
- A raceway for distributing electric energy and similar services in civil use premises, comprising:a strip-like base (2) to be fixed to a wall of said premises or of a room;a strip-like cover (3) to be removably engaged to said base (2) in order to define at least one housing space (4) therewith;a supporting element (9) connected to said strip-like base and facing the inside of said housing space (4); anda plurality of electric conductors (8) housed in said hollow space (4) and extending longitudinally and parallelly to each other at said supporting element (9), each of said conductors exhibiting an anchoring portion (8a) rigidly connected to said supporting element (9) and a wiring portion (8b) extending substantially perpendicular to said strip-like base (2) characterized in that each of said electric conductors (8) exhibits first and second ribbon-like portions (12 and 13) which are symmetrically opposite and joined to each other at a longitudinal bending edge (14), said first ribbon-like portion (12) being bent relative to said second ribbon-like portion (13) according to a bending angle of substantially 180°, each of said ribbon-like portions (12, 13) being provided with a respective hooking lip (15, 16) exhibiting a 90° bending relative to the ribbon-like portion itself, in order to substantially define said anchoring portion (8a).
- A raceway according to claim 1, characterized in that said anchoring portion (8a) of the conductors (8) is buried in said supporting element (9).
- A raceway according to claim 1, characterized in that said anchoring portion (8a) defines with said wiring portion (8b) of the conductors (8), a substantially T-shaped transverse section.
- A raceway according to claim 1, characterized in that a clamp element (19) of a branching connector (20) can be engaged to the wiring portion (8b) of each of said electric conductors (8).
- A raceway according to claim 4, characterized in that the clamp element (19) of each branching connector (20) exhibits a central body (21) from which at least two arms (22, 23) extend, said arms being disposed symmetrically with respect to each other so as to define an insertion seat (24) for said wiring portion (8b) of the corresponding electric conductors (8), and exerting an elastic thrust action on the sides of said ribbon-like portions (12, 13) of the electric conductor itself.
- A raceway according to claim 5, characterized in that the shape of the arms (22, 23) of each clamp element (19) substantially matches the shape of the wiring portion (8b) of the respective electric conductor.
- A raceway according to claim 1, characterized in that a longitudinal protection panel (17) is provided within said housing space (4), which panel is intended to cover said electric conductors (8) to which it is detachably engaged in order to prevent an accidental contact with said electric conductors (8) when the cover (3) is removed from the base (2).
