Abstract
The invention is a special baseboard that looks like any ordinary baseboard, yet is simple to install and has an added benefit of having a removable front panel. Once removed the invention will give access to the built-in cable tray to which cables can be retained and housed when the front part is replaced. One of the unique benefits of this invention is that no surrounding decor will be damaged by the correct removal and replacement of the front panel.
Claims9
The invention looks like any typical baseboard, but has the added benefit of housing many cables, and cable types, utilizing the cable tray on part number one.
The invention has been designed so that once installed part number 3 can be removed to access the cables without damaging the surrounding decor which has been rendered up to the baseboard. It must be noted that surrounding decor can be damaged due to incorrect removal and replacement of part number 3.
Part number 3 is designed to be removed vertically, this is essential, as this enables the baseboard to be fitted into corners, and installation of the invention into corners is simple.
To get access of the cables from behind the baseboard is very simple. A small hole is drilled into the baseboard so that you can feed out the cable to its correct destination.
The baseboard cable housing can be made into any length.
The cable tray also acts as a reinforcement for the baseboard part number three.
The cable tray can be made of of any size within reason to house more cables.
Part number 1 can be made from either thin sheet steel, or moulded plastic of the appropriate type.
Part number 2 can be a moulded intergral part of part number 1 if manufactured from moulded plastic of the appropriate type.
