Abstract
In one embodiment a wiring conduit comprises a body having a length extending along a longitudinal axis, the body comprising a plurality of interconnected sections defined by cutouts which extend through a portion of the body, wherein at least a portion of the body is removed along the longitudinal axis to define an opening extending along the length of the body. Other embodiments may be described.
Claims20
A wiring conduit, comprising:
- a body having a length extending along a first axis, wherein the body has a first cross-sectional shape in a first plane perpendicular to the first axis, wherein the body has a second cross-sectional shape in a second plane parallel to the first plane, wherein the body has a third cross-sectional shape in a third plane parallel to the first plane, wherein the second plane is between the first plane and the third plane, wherein the first cross-sectional shape includes a first arcuate shape with a first arc length, wherein the second cross-sectional shape includes a second arcuate shape with a second arc length, wherein the third cross-sectional shape includes a third arcuate shape with a third arc length, and wherein the second arc length is less than the first arc length and less than the third arc length to define cutouts in the body.
A method comprising:
- securing a wiring conduit to a structure, wherein the wiring conduit comprises a body having a length extending along a first axis, wherein the body has a first cross-sectional shape in a first plane perpendicular to the first axis, wherein the body has a second cross-sectional shape in a second plane parallel to the first plane, wherein the body has a third cross-sectional shape in a third plane parallel to the first plane, wherein the second plane is between the first plane and the third plane, wherein the first cross-sectional shape includes a first arcuate shape with a first arc length, wherein the second cross-sectional shape includes a second arcuate shape with a second arc length, wherein the third cross-sectional shape includes a third arcuate shape with a third arc length, and wherein the second arc length is less than the first arc length and less than the third arc length to define cutouts in the body;
- positioning a wiring harness in the body;
- and
- securing the wiring harness to the body.
