Hinge for cable trough cover

A cover for a cable trough system, the cover comprising:

• a main body that defines a planar surface with a first end and a second end;
• a first hinge portion coupled to the first end of the main body, and a second hinge portion coupled to the second end of the main body, wherein each of the first and second hinge portions includes:
• a first member that extends to an end positioned to contact an inner surface of a wall of a trough member;
• a second member that defines an arm that is positioned to at least partially contact the wall of the trough member;
• an extension member that extends from the second member in a direction opposite to that of the arm;
• a curved member that extends from the main body to the second member, wherein the curved member includes a reduced thickness;
• and
• a member that extends perpendicularly from the extension member;
• wherein the first and second members define a space therebetween sized to receive a portion of the trough member;
• and
• wherein a second space is defined between the member, the extension member, and the second member, the second space being sized to receive at least a portion of a user's finger;
• and
• wherein the first hinge portion is a mirror image of the second hinge portion.

A cable trough system, the system comprising:

• a trough member including a base wall and first and second sidewalls extending from the base wall to form a trough;
• and
• a cover including:
• a main body that defines a planar surface with a first end and a second end;
• a first hinge portion coupled to the first end of the main body, and a second hinge portion coupled to the second end of the main body, wherein each of the first and second hinge portions includes:
• a first member that extends to an end positioned to contact an inner surface of the first sidewall of the trough member;
• a second member that defines an arm that is positioned to at least partially contact the first sidewall of the trough member;
• and
• an extension member that extends from the second member in a direction opposite to that of the arm;
• wherein the first and second members define a space therebetween sized to receive a portion of the first sidewall of the trough member;
• and
• wherein the first hinge portion is a mirror image of the second hinge portion.
