CABLE TRAY SYSTEM WITH SPLICE PLATE

摘要

A cable tray system including cable trays formed of a first side rail and a second side rail arranged substantially parallel to one another and transverse rungs extending between and connecting the first and second side rails. The first and second side rails each include a vertical web, a portion of which is inwardly protruding. The cable tray system further includes a splice plate for splicing or joining multiple cable trays. The splice plate includes a vertical web, a portion of which is inwardly protruding, wherein the inwardly protruding portion of the splice plate cooperates with the inwardly protruding portion of the first and second side rails. Holes in the first and second side rails can be aligned with holes in the splice plate through which fasteners may be inserted through to secure the splice plate to the side rails.

主权项

1. A splice plate for joining side rails of cable trays comprising:
a vertical web extending a length, L, and having an upper edge and a lower edge, the vertical web comprising a protruded vertical web portion protruding from the vertical web in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the length of the vertical web; an upper flange extending from the upper edge of the vertical web and a lower flange extending from the lower edge of the vertical web, wherein the upper and lower flanges extend in a second direction substantially opposite from the first direction; and a population of holes extending through the vertical web through which a population of fasteners may be inserted to secure the splice plate to a side rail of a cable tray.
