Abstract
A connecting clamp for connecting a pair of end transverse wires of two consecutive mesh cable tray sections comprises a first element and a second element intended to be mounted inside and outside the mesh tray, respectively, so as to clamp the base parts of the two end transverse wires. The first element comprises a first portion which is coupled with the second element to clamp the base parts of the end transverse wires of the two tray sections and a second portion which is perpendicular to the first portion and forms a pair of seats for restraining the vertical parts of the end transverse wires.

A connecting clamp for connecting two consecutive sections of mesh cable tray, each comprising a series of longitudinal wires and a series of transverse wires connected to one another to form a grid, each transverse wire including a base part from which two parallel parts extend transversely so that the wire is generally U-shaped,
- the clamp comprising a first element and a second element adapted to be associated with the mesh tray on the inner side and on the outer side, respectively, and to be coupled to one another to clamp a pair of facing end transverse wires of the tray sections,
- wherein the first element comprises a first portion and a second portion substantially perpendicular to one another, the first portion being intended to be coupled with the second element to clamp respective parts of the end transverse wires of the two tray sections, and the second portion being intended to house the parts of the transverse wires which are not clamped between the first portion and the second element.
