Wireway divider

Claim 2

Electrical wireway comprising a plurality of channel shaped wireway sections; connecting means joining adjacent wireway sections end-to-end and having portions thereof disposed in overlapping relation with respect to said sections; a plurality of removable partition sections dividing said wireway and said wireway sections into separate compartments, at least certain of said partition sections including attaching members having portions extending under and retained by the overlapping portions of said connecting means; fastening screws interconnecting the overlapping portions of said connecting means to said wireway sections, and said attaching members being formed with a plurality of laterally spaced, screw receiving slots which are selectively registerable with said fastening screws in different laterally adjusted positions of said partition sections and which cooperate with said fastening screws to hold the partition sections in selected adjusted positions.

Claim 3

The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein said wireway sections are disposed in endwise butting engagement, and said connecting means are in the form of U-shaped connectors. disposed in said wireway sections, said U-shaped connectors bridging the joint between the butted ends of said wireway sections and overlapping the adjacent marginal edge portions thereof, said fastening screws extending through the bottoms of said wireway sections and into the overlapping portions of said connectors, and the attaching members of said partition sections being in the form of laterally extending flanges on the lower edges of the partition sections, said flanges extending beyond the ends of the partition sections of which they are a part and said projecting portions adapted to extend under said U-shaped connectors with the screw receiving slots thereof in engagement with said fastening screws.

Claim 4

The combination as set forth in claim 1 wherein each of said attaching members is in the form of a flat platelike element disposed at right angles to the partition section of which it is a part, wherein, at least one of the screw receiving slots in said attaching member is disposed substantially directly under said partition section, and wherein said fastening screws are disposed at substantially the middle of said wireway sections, whereby positioning of said one slot in engagement with one of said fastening screws positions said partition section substantially in the middle of said wireway sections.

Claim 5

The combination as set forth in claim 4 wherein other of said screw receiving slots in said attaching member are disposed laterally of and away from said partition section and said one slot, said partition section being selectively positionable at either side of said connecting means with said other slot in engagement with a fastening screw, whereby to adjust the position of said partition section laterally in said wireway sections.

Claim 6

An electrical wireway comprising a plurality of channel shaped wireway sections arranged in end-to-end butting relation; connecting means joining said wireway sections to each other; fastening and locating means carried by said wireway sections adjacent to the ends thereof; a plurality of removable partitions sections dividing said wireway and said wireway sections longitudinally into separate compartments, at least certain of said partition sections including attaching members, said attaching members being interengageable with said fastening and locating means to hold said certain partition sections fastened securely to said wireway sections; said fastening and locating means being in the form of fastening screws and said attaching members being in the form of platelike mountings extending at right angles to and laterally of said certain partition sections, each of said platelike members having a plurality of laterally spaced slots opening through one edge thereof, each slot being selectively interengageable with one of said fastening screws to detachably fasten the certain partition member with which it is associated to one of said wireway sections, selective, individual, interengagement of said slots with said fastening screws being operative to dispose said partition section in different laterally adjusted positions in said wireway section.

Claim 7

An electrical wireway comprising a plurality of channel shaped wireway sections arranged in end-to-end butting relation; connecting means joining said wireway sections to each other; fastening and locating means carried by said wireway sections adjacent to the ends thereof; a plurality of removable partitions sections dividing said wireway and said wireway sections longitudinally into separate compartments, at least certain of said partition sections including attaching members, said attaching members being interengageable with said fastening and locating means to hold said certain partition sections fastened securely to said wireway sections; said fastening and locating means being in the form of fastening screws and said attaching members being in the form of platelike mountings extending at right angles to and laterally of said certain partition sections, each of said platelike members having a plurality of laterally spaced slots opening through one edge thereof, each slot being selectively interengageable with one of said fastening screws to detachably fasten the certain partition member with which it is associated to one of said wireway sections, selective, individual, interengagement of said slots with said fastening screws being operative to dispose said partition section in different laterally adjusted positions in said wireway section.

Claim 8

The combination as set forth in claim 5 wherein one of said fastening screws is provided at each side of each connecting means, and wherein each of said certain partition members is adapted to be reversely positioned in said wireway with the platelike attaching member associated therewith in either of two adjacent ends of said wireway sections, and the slots in said platelike member being selectively interengageable with either of said fastening screws to dispose said certain partition section in different laterally adjusted positions in said wireway sections.

Claim 9

The combination as set forth in claim 6 wherein other of said partition sections are detachably interengageable with said certain partition sections in various laterally adjusted positions of the latter.
