Abstract:
1. A connecting splice bar for wire cable trays, for connecting two wire cable tray sections placed end-to-end, each cable tray section including longitudinal warp wires and transverse weft wires connecting the warp wires, said splice bar includes: an elongate central part having a substantially planar bottom and two transverse bearing areas each adapted to receive one weft wire, two substantially planar bearing lugs attached to the central part on the same side thereof and disposed on respective opposite sides of the transverse bearing areas, each of said bearing lugs being parallel to said flat bottom and being extended by a rim extending perpendicularly to a free end of each of said bearing lug, wherein said flat bottom and said rim define a surface adapted to bear against a first warp wire, and two substantially planar locking lugs attached to the central part on the side opposite the bearing lugs and disposed on the respective opposite sides of the transverse bearing areas, each of said locking lugs being substantially parallel to said flat bottom and including a resilient boss and a free end, said free end being inclined such that the boss is capable of passing over a second warp wire when slid in a direction parallel to an axis of the transverse bearing areas.
