Abstract
A wire management system including a channel having a plurality of alternating retention tabs extending inwardly from the side edges of the channel under which wires or cables may be laced. The channel defines a plurality of openings adapted to receive screws for attachment of the channel to a desired surface. Each of the tabs defines an opening therethrough which is adapted to receive a pin extending from a cover which is adapted to be placed over the channel with the pins being received within the openings in an interference fit which allows the cover to be detachable.
Claims14
A wire management system for electrical cables for extension along a wall or floor surface comprising:
- a plurality of channels each adapted for attachment to a surface, each of the plurality of channels having a plurality of inwardly-directed retention tabs extending from side edges thereof, each retention tab defining an opening therethrough;
- and
- a cover adapted to fit over one of said channels, said cover including a plurality of pins extending toward the one of said channels and spaced to be received by said openings in a detachable interference fit to removably hold said cover in place over the one of said channels.
A wire management system as defined in claim l, wherein said retention tabs are disposed in an alternating manner from the side edges of each of the plurality of channels.
A wire management system as defined in claim l, wherein said cover is generally U shaped and includes a top and a pair of side arms extending angularly outwardly there from, said top having a bottom surface which faces one of said channels, said pins extending outwardly from said bottom surface.
A wire management system as defined in claim l, which further includes an angular router having a base with a side extending from each edge of the base and first and second ends, the angular router having a plurality of inwardly directed retention tabs extending from the sides, each of said retention tabs defining an orifice therein, the first and second ends configured to allow said angular router to mate with one of said channels disposed adjacent at least one of the first and second ends.
