Abstract

A device for a wire cable duct ( 18 ) has a profiled part having a first wing ( 2 ), termed horizontal wing, and at least one second wing ( 4 ), termed vertical wing, extending substantially perpendicularly to the first wing on one side thereof. The device includes: at least one longitudinal housing ( 6 ) intended to receive a warp wire ( 20 ) formed on the lower face ( 10 ) of the horizontal wing, that is to say the face opposed to the second wing; transverse cutouts ( 8 ), formed with a predetermined pitch corresponding to the pitch of the transverse weft wires ( 22 ), all along the horizontal wing ( 2 ), the transverse cutouts ( 8 ) extending over the whole width of the horizontal wing and continuing into the region of the vertical wings ( 4 ); and at least one tongue ( 12 ) extending longitudinally from a transverse edge ( 14 ) of each cutout ( 8 ) over part of the width of the cutout.

Claims (18)

1. A device for at least one of separating and reinforcing wire cable ducts ( 18 ) that include longitudinal warp wires ( 20 ) and transverse weft wires ( 22 ), the device comprising:

a section having a first wing ( 2 ) and at least one second wing ( 4 ) substantially perpendicular to said first wing ( 2 ) on one side thereof,

at least one longitudinal channel ( 6 ), intended to receive one of said longitudinal wrap wires ( 20 ), on a lower face ( 10 ) of the first wing ( 2 ),

transverse cutouts ( 8 ) with a predetermined pitch corresponding to a pitch of the transverse weft wires ( 22 ) all along the first wing ( 2 ), the transverse cutouts ( 8 ) extending a whole width of the first wing ( 2 ) and extending into the at least one second wing ( 4 ), and

at least one tongue ( 12 ) extending longitudinally from a transverse edge ( 14 ) of at least one of said transverse cutouts ( 8 ) to leave a gap between a free end of said at least one tongue and a second transverse edge ( 16 ) opposite the first transverse edge ( 14 ).

2. Device according to claim 1 , further comprising two of said at least one tongue 12 ), one on each side of said at least one longitudinal channel ( 6 ).

3. Device according to claim 2 , wherein each of said two tongues ( 12 ) has in its upper face, oriented toward the second wing ( 4 ), a transverse channel intended to receive one of the transverse weft wires ( 22 ).

4. Device according to claim 2 , wherein each of said two tongues ( 12 ) is adapted to be bent.

5. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one tongue ( 12 ) has in its upper face, oriented toward the second wing ( 4 ), a transverse channel intended to receive one of the transverse weft wires ( 22 ).

6. Device according to claim 5 , wherein said at least one tongue ( 12 ) is adapted to be bent.

7. Device according to claim 1 , wherein said at least one tongue ( 12 ) is adapted to be bent.

8. Device according to claim 7 , wherein said at least one tongue ( 12 ) that is adapted to be bent includes an area ( 32 ) of trapezoidal shape.

9. Device according to claim 7 , wherein each of said transverse cutouts ( 8 ) includes at least one said tongue ( 12 ) that is adapted to be bent.

10. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal channel ( 6 ) has a substantially circular cylindrical shape.

11. Device according to claim 1 , having a U-shaped cross section and including two of said at least one second wing ( 4 ).

12. Device according to claim 11 , wherein the first wing ( 2 ) includes two of said at least one longitudinal channel ( 6 ).

13. Device according to claim 12 , wherein the two said longitudinal channels ( 6 ) are disposed at a junction between the first wing ( 2 ) and one of said two second wings ( 4 ).

14. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the first wing ( 2 ) includes two of said least one longitudinal channel ( 6 ).
