Abstract

A cable trunking system 1 comprises a standard three metre length of trunking 2 and a lid comprising three sections 3. The sections are each approximately three metres long and include lug 10 which extends longitudinally from one end of each section to engage, on assembly, underneath the other end of an adjacent section. Each section has a single coupling device 20 for mounting the section to the trunking (Figures 4 and 5).

Description

“Cable Trunking” Introduction The invention relates to cable trunking particularly for mounting on a wall for housing electrical wiring. More particularly the invention relates to a cable trunking system comprising a length of preformed trunking and a lid for the trunking. Typically, a releasable fastening means is used to fasten the lid to the trunking. Because of weight and safety considerations, generally two people are required to install such trunking systems. When installed, it is often inconvenient to obtain access to the particular length of trunking when an electrician is to carry out work.
There is therefore a need for an improved cable trunking system which will overcome at least some of these problems.
Statements of Invention

Claims (7)

1. A cable trunking system comprising a standard length of preformed trunking and a lid for the trunking wherein the lid comprises a number of lid sections each lid section including engagement means for engaging on assembly in use with another lid section, the lid sections being of substantially the same length and the length of each lid section being less than half the length of the standard length of trunking.
2. A cable trunking system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the length of each lid section is approximately one third the length of the standard length of trunking.
3. A cable trunking system as claimed in claim 1 or 2 wherein each lid section is approximately 1 metre long.
4. A cable trunking system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the engagement means comprises a lug extending from at least one end of the lid section for engagement underneath an adjacent lid section, on assembly.
5. A cable trunking system as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein a lid section includes a single coupling device for coupling the lid section to the trunking.
6. A cable trunking system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the coupling device is provided at the end of the lid section remote from the engagement means.
7. A cable trunking system substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings. -ΊΑ cable trunking lid section for use in a cable trunking system as claimed in any preceding claim. 5 9. A cable trunking lid section substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
