Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an arrange- ment for effecting electrical connections in and for shielding the joints between the duct sections of elec ⁇ tric cable ducts or trunking systems intended for accommodating different kinds of telecommunication cables, said duct sections having the form of metal profiles, or profiles made of an electrically non-con ⁇ ductive material and provided with an outer metallic surface coating or with metallic inlays.
  • the ducts, or trunking systems comprise duct sections in which joints between, for instance, bottom trough-like members and associated cover members incorporate conventional shielding gaskets, for example gaskets of the- kind that comprise a resilient sealing strip wound with metal wire or filament.
  • Ducts, or trunking systems for accommodating electric cables, e.g. telecommunication cables, are known to the art. It is also known to shield or screen such ducts against the influence of radio frequency energy and electromagnetic pulses.
  • One drawback with present day duct shielding devices is that they are relatively complicated to use. Furthermore, the task of installing the shields is highly time consuming. It is also im ⁇ portant that the cover members of respective duct sections can be readily removed and re-fitted securely, particularly when dismantling and re-assembling existing duct systems. Disclosure of the Invention.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide, for the purpose of joining together duct sections that are intended to house telecommunication cables of various kinds, and for the purpose of shielding said sections against the influence of external magnetic fields, e.g. radio frequency energy and electromagnetic pulses, a novel method and novel means with which the drawbacks associated with the known methods and means are elimi- nated.
  • This object is achieved by means of the method and the means according to the invention, which relates to the jointing of duct sections, and preferably of duct sections which have the form of metal profiles of substantially rectangular cross-section.
  • the charac- terizing features of the method and the means according to the invention are set forth in the following Claims.
  • a duct system, or trunking system comprises a plural ⁇ ity of interconnected straight duct sections, which may be joined together by means of T-sections, X-sections or connecting sections.
  • the T-sections and X-sections are used to connect together branches in the duct system, whereas the connecting sections are used, for instance, to connect a duct system to apparatus cabi ⁇ nets.
  • All the duct sections comprise a base member, or base channel, and a cover member.
  • a shielding seal, or gasket is arranged in -each of the joints located in the various sections of the duct system, i.e. between the base channel and the cover member of -repective straight duct section and between the base member and the cover member of the T-section, the X-section, or the connect ⁇ ing sections.
  • the shielding gasket incorporated in each of said joints consists of a known sealing strip, and preferably a sealing strip that consists of a resilient plastic core wound with metal wire or filament.
  • the shielding gasket may have a circular or rectangular cross-section- al shape, and may also be provided with outwardly pro ⁇ jecting tags to facilitate fitting of the gasket.
  • a gap which is shielded with the aid of a bellows-like shield, in the form of a metal-wire net that hangs from the underside of the cabinet and sur ⁇ rounds a cable port in the cover member of the connect ⁇ ing section.
  • the lower end of this shield is preferably connected to a metal frame, the surface of which that lies in abutment with the cover member of the connecting section being fitted with a shielding gasket in accor ⁇ dance with the above.
  • Two mutually adjacent duct sections are preferably joined together by means of at least one joint fitting which extends along both sides of the joint between said sec- tions. Furthermore, preferably at least one electrical contact is arranged between respective duct...section..and the joint fitting on each side of the joint between the duct sections.
  • the electrical contact preferably has the form of a metal tongue or the like provided with a sprung or resilient element which projects from the plane of the tongue, and ensures that electrical contact is established between a joint fitting and the duct sections adjacent thereto.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic, exploded view of the component parts of a duct system connected to an apparatus cabi ⁇ net, shown in chain lines.

  • FIG. 1 In the illustration of Figure 1 there is shown two straight duct sections 1 of a duct system, each of which comprises a base channel 2 and a cover member 3, of which one is joined to a T-section 4 and the other 0 is arranged for detachable connection to said T-section 4.
  • the T-section 4 comprises a base member 5 and a cover member 6, which is shown lifted from the base member 5.
  • the T-section 4 is joined to a connecting section 7, which comprises a base member 8 and a cover 5 member 9.
  • the cover member 9 of the connection section 7 has provided therein ..a .port.. 10 through which cables can be passed to an apparatus cabinet 11 illus ⁇ trated in chain lines in Figure 1.
  • the two straight duct sections 1 , the T-section 4 and the connecting section 7 are each joined to a respective adjacent duct section through the intermediary of joint fittings 12.
  • a shielding seal, or gasket, 26 is arranged in each joint located in the various duct sections of the duct system, i.e. between the base channel 2 and the cover member 3 of respective straight duct sections, between the base members and the cover member 6 of the T-sec ⁇ tion 4, and between the base section 8 and the cover member 9 of the connecting section 7.
  • Each joint between two mutually adjacent duct sections is shielded against the influence of external magnetic fields through the intermediary of a clamping device, which can be opened to facilitate fitting of the clamp, and which in the illustrated embodiment com ⁇ prises two jointing stirrups, which stirrups can be coupled one to the other and each of which is provided with a gasket or like seal.
  • two shielding gas ⁇ kets 26 are arranged in a lower joint stirrup 14, which covers the joint at the bottom of the duct, and in an upper joint stirrup 15 which is joined to the lower stirrup 14 and covers the joint at the top of the duct.
  • the two gaskets 26 extend in mutual paral ⁇ lel relationship around the joint, on all sides there- of.
  • the shielding gaskets 13, 26 provided in the duct sections, and the jointing stirrups suitably comprise a sealing strip of known kind, for example of the kind that comprises a resilient plastic core covered with metal wire or filament, for example a Monelmetal, aluminium or stainless steel wire.
  • the gaskets 13, 26 of the illustrated embodiment have a circular cross- sectional shape.
  • the connecting section 7 of the illustrated duct system is connected to the cabinet 11 through the intermediary of a bellows-like screen 16, as shown in Figure 2.
