Abstract
The invention consists in a system for placement of conduits to a property site comprising a conduit receiving channel member which is shaped to receive a selected plurality of conduits. The channel member has one or more access points adapted to enable access to a portion of the channel member. The arrangement enables easy detection of service pipes to and from a property site. Preferably the/or each access point is in the form of a box. The invention further includes within its scope a structure fitted with or otherwise connected to such a system.
Claims16
A system for placement of service-providing cables and conduits, comprising:
- an elongated channel member (105), the elongated channel member being elongated in a length direction and longitudinally segmented into a number of receiving conduits (106) elongated in the length direction so that a length of the elongated channel member is greater than a width of the elongated channel member,
- the receiving conduits (106) being arranged in a matrix, as viewed in cross section, with each receiving conduit (106) being separated by wall sections from adjacent receiving conduits (106),
- each receiving conduit configured to receive a selected service-providing cable or conduit such that each of a plurality of service-providing cables or conduits pass along respective ones of the receiving conduits in the length direction within the elongated channel member;
- and
- a box (80) mountable on the elongated channel member so as to connect the elongated channel member (105) to the box (80), wherein with the box (80) mounted to the elongated channel member (105) the service-providing cables or conduits pass through an exterior wall of the elongated channel member directly into the box,
- wherein the box has a removable cover for access to the interior of the box.
A system for placement of service-providing cables and conduits, comprising:
- an elongated channel member (105), the elongated channel member being elongated in a length direction and longitudinally segmented into a number of receiving conduits (106) elongated in the length direction so that a length of the elongated channel member is greater than a width of the elongated channel member,
- the receiving conduits (106) being arranged in a matrix, as viewed in cross section, with each receiving conduit (106) being separated by wall sections from adjacent receiving conduits (106),
- each receiving conduit configured to receive a selected service-providing cable or conduit such that each of a plurality of service-providing cables or conduits pass along respective ones of the receiving conduits in the length direction within the elongated channel member;
- and
- a box (80) mountable on the elongated channel member so as to connect the elongated channel member (105) to the box (80), wherein with the box (80) mounted to the elongated channel member (105) the service-providing cables or conduits pass through an exterior wall of the elongated channel member directly into the box,
- wherein the box is an access box through which the service-providing cables or conduits pass without terminating within the access box, and
- wherein the access box houses plural diverse service-providing cables and conduits including at least two of electric, gas, water, television, and telephone service providing cables or conduits.
A system for placement of service-providing cables and conduits, comprising:
- an elongated channel member, the elongated channel member being longitudinally segmented into a number of receiving conduits,
- each receiving conduit configured to receive a selected service-providing cable or conduit, such that the receiving conduits are within the elongated channel member,
- a box mountable on the elongated channel member so that service-providing cables or conduits pass through a wall of the elongated channel member into the box, and
- additional receiving conduits extending from the mountable box to a second box positioned remotely from the mountable box, the additional receiving conduits providing one or more channels through which service-providing cables or conduits can pass between the mountable box and the second box.
