Interlocking cable track system

A single pull interlocking cable track system for receiving and handling a flexible member, said interlocking cable track system comprising:

• (a) a series of links adapted to retain the flexible member, each of said links including:
• (i) a single pull link comprising a U-shaped member having a first leg, a second leg, and a transverse portion connecting the first leg and the second leg, said single pull link adapted to interconnect with adjacent single pull links;
• (ii) a cable keeper configured for cooperation with the single pull link to form an opening for receiving and handling the flexible member;
• and
• (iii) a locking pin configured for securing the cable keeper to the single pull link;
• and
• (b) an interlocking system for joining the series of links to one another.

A twin pull interlocking cable track system for receiving and handling a flexible member, said interlocking cable track system comprising:

• (a) a series of links adapted to retain the flexible member, each of said links including;
• (i) a single pull link comprising a U-shaped member having a pair of legs and a transverse portion extending between said pair of legs, said single pull link adapted to interconnect with adjacent single pull links;
• (ii) an outer link adapted for cooperation with the legs of the single pull link to form an opening for receiving and handling the flexible member;
• (iii) an outer clamp bar configured for cooperation with the outer link and the single pull link;
• and
• (iv) a locking pin configured for cooperation with the single pull link to secure the outer link and the outer clamp bar to the single pull link;
• and
• (b) an interlocking system for joining the series of links to one another.

A method of converting a single pull cable track system to a twin pull cable track system for handling a flexible member, said method comprising:

• (a) providing a series of single pull links adapted to retain the flexible member, each of said single pull links comprising a first leg, a second leg, and a transverse portion extending between the first leg and second leg wherein each of said single pull links are adapted to interconnect with adjacent single pull links;
• (b) providing a series of outer links, each of said outer links configured to cooperate with the legs of the single pull link to form an opening for receiving and handling the flexible member;
• (c) aligning the series of outer links with a corresponding series of single pull links;
• (d) providing a first groove and a second groove extending along a longitudinal axis through each of the aligned single pull links and outer links;
• (e) providing an outer clamp bar having a first arm and a second arm, said first arm and second arm including an aperture at an end portion;
• (f) inserting the first arm of the outer clamp bar in the first grooves and the second arm of the outer clamp bar in the second grooves;
• and
• (g) inserting a locking pin through the single pull link and into the aperture of the first arm and second arm of the outer clamp bar to secure the outer link and the outer clamp bar to the single pull link.
