Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Couplers for a cable trough system including a terminal end sized to receive a terminal end of a trough member along a longitudinal direction of the body. A spring may be coupled to the body for securing the terminal end of the trough member to the coupler, the spring including first and second spring arms extending generally in opposition to one another in a plane generally parallel to the longitudinal direction. The spring may be received in a slot formed by the trough member. Also included may be a spring release mechanism coupled to the body, the spring release mechanism sliding in the longitudinal direction between a locked position, such that the first and second spring arms engage the terminal end of the trough, and an unlocked position, such that the first and second fingers release the first and second arms of the spring.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A cable trough system comprising: a trough member having a terminal end and including opposing longitudinally-extending first and second sidewalls coupled to a bottom wall generally forming a trough, the trough member defining a partially-enclosed slot formed between first and second opposing longitudinally-extending wall portions extending along a longitudinal direction of the trough member, the first and second wall portions extending from one of the first…
