Patent ID: 6936766

Claim:
In a two piece metal raceway system having an elongated base formed from flat steel stock into a C-shaped cross section with an open side defined by inturned flanges that are angled with respect to the generally parallel sidewalls of the base, and longitudinally spaced raceway cover segments for assembly with the base, the cover segments having longitudinally extending inwardly formed flanges that are adapted to be assembled with the base so that these cover segments have the same width as the base, the improvement comprising a raised device box of approximately the same width as said cover segments for placement between the spaced raceway cover segments, said device box defining a rearwardly open rectangular recess, the front wall of which defines an opening for receiving at least one electrical device, said device box further including tapered end portions joined to short cover like components of the box that are adapted to mate with said cover segments, and a divider having an offset center portion to enlarge the cross sectional width of a first of two wireways defined by said box and said base, a second of said wireways having a depth that affords substantially similar cross sectional size as said first wireway defined in the raceway base by dividers provided midway between said sidewalls of the base.
