Abstract
Abstract Services segregation apparatus for a gap between corrugated sheeting (40) of flooring comprises at least one apertured divider (11) communicating separately with upwardly closed elements (17, 18) to each side. Endmost elements also communicate with sheeting channels. Services (45, 46) are segregated by the divider and then by passing under or between the elements without cross-overs relative to other segregated services. Three-way segregation is also described and universal side and division blanks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
Services segregation apparatus for flooring that employs corrugated sheeting, comprising an apertured divider to follow a gap through such sheeting transversely of its channels, and, associated with the divider, upwardly closed elements to each side thereof, those elements being of less height than said channels and the divider, and those elements each registering with a different aperture through the divider and with a different said channel, whereby service feeds passing over the elements in the direction of the divider and said gap can be segregated by the divider and also by the elements under which such service feed or feeds can be passed to the other side of the divider without cross-over relative to other segregated service feed or feeds.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
120 words
Services segregation apparatus for flooring that employs corrugated sheeting, comprising an apertured divider to follow a gap through such sheeting transversely of its channels, and, associated with the divider, upwardly closed elements to each side thereof, those elements being of less height than said channels and the divider, and those elements each registering with a different aperture through the divider and with a different said channel, whereby service feeds passing over the elements in the direction of the divider and said gap can be segregated by the divider and also by the elements under which such service feed or feeds can be passed to the other side of the divider without cross-over relative to other segregated service feed or feeds.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
Apparatus according to claim 1, comprising spaced sides apertured to communicate with said channels otherwise closing same off and selectively with said elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
30 Apparatus according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the elements are inverted channel members extending in the same direction as said channels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
Apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the members have a channel shape substantially matching downwardly open said channels of said corrugated sheeting so that orientation of said apparatus in said gap is immaterial to segregation attainment.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus according to claim 3 or claim 4, wherein at least some of the members mate with tabs bent out of sheet material blanks for the divider.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus according to claim 5 with claim 2, wherein at least some of the members mate with tabs bent out of sheet material blanks for the sides.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
Apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the sides have upper flanges bent over for fixing purposes.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
Apparatus according to claim 6 or claim 7, wherein the same side blank serves for either side of the apparatus when turned end-about.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
17 words
Apparatus according to any preceding claim, comprising at least two said dividers for at least threeway segregation.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
Apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the dividers have untabbed apertures for longer ones of the elements to cover more than one divider segregation.
