Abstract
A support system for devices, in particular electrical devices, to be attached transversely to a trunking body between two longitudinal walls of the latter comprises two crossmembers each engaged with one of the longitudinal walls at each end and each equipped with fixing arrangements for local fastening of the device. These fixing arrangements are mounted on the crossmember so that their position can be adjusted along its length.
Claims15
Support system for mounting electrical or non-electrical apparatus and fittings in a trunking body having generally parallel longitudinal walls with opposed edge portions, the support system comprising two crossmembers having engagement means cooperable with respective edge portions and being positionable at desired locations along the edge portions, and self-arresting fixing means carried by each of said crossmembers, said self-arresting fixing means comprising opposed pluralities of detents and spring biasing means for normally urging said detents into mutual engagement, said detents affording said self-arresting fixing means with a multiplicity of stable intermediate positions located along the respective crossmembers, between the respective engagement means.
Support system for mounting electrical or non-electrical apparatus and fittings in a trunking body having generally parallel longitudinal walls with opposed edge portions, the support system comprising two crossmembers having engagement means cooperable with respective edge portions and being positionable at desired locations along the edge portions, and self-arresting fixing means carried by each of said crossmembers, said self-arresting fixing means having a multiplicity of stable intermediate positions located along the respective crossmembers, between the respective engagement means, each said fixing means comprising part of a fixing member separate and distinct from the respective crossmember, each said fixing member including two substantially parallel lugs, one of the lugs being a locking lug engageable in a slot extending along an edge of said respective crossmember, and the other of the lugs being a retaining lug extending beyond the edge of the respective crossmember and hooked into a groove on a rear face of the respective crossmember, said groove extending parallel to said edge.
Support system for mounting electrical or non-electrical apparatus and fittings in a trunking body having generally parallel longitudinal walls with opposed edge portions, the support system comprising two crossmembers having engagement means cooperable with respective edge portions and being positionable at desired locations along the edge portions, and self-arresting fixing means carried by each of said crossmembers, said self-arresting fixing means having a multiplicity of stable intermediate positions located along the respective crossmembers, between the respective engagement means, each said engagement means engageable with the edge portions of the longitudinal walls comprising respective grooves in corresponding opposed longitudinal edges of the respective crossmember, a lip defined between a sidewall of the groove and a front face of the respective crossmember being thinner than another lip defined between an opposite sidewall of the groove and a rear face of the respective crossmember.
Support system for mounting electrical or non-electrical apparatus and fittings in a trunking body having generally parallel longitudinal walls with opposed edge portions, the support system comprising two crossmembers having engagement means cooperable with respective edge portions and being positionable at desired locations along the edge portions, and self-arresting fixing means carried by each of said crossmembers, said self-arresting fixing means having a multiplicity of stable intermediate positions located along the respective crossmembers, between the respective engagement means, each of said crossmembers has a central portion and at least one break-off portion at at least one end thereof, respective said engagement means being provided on said central portion and said at least one break-off portion.
