US Patent 11258240 Cable guides for use with cable trays

A cable guide is dimensioned to fit as an insert inside a cable tray. It has a bottom, two sides and a top. The top is made of interleaving, resilient flanges that are spaced apart to define a serpentine path that is wide enough to enable the user to fit a cable into the interior of the cable guide and to remove the cable through the interleaved flanges without disturbing the positional integrity of other cables in the cable tray. The cable guide may be fastened to the cable tray using one or two bolts and may be fastened so that it is spaced apart from the wall of the cable tray. Two cable guides may be installed side-by-side and several can be installed at spaced intervals along a cable tray and throughout a system.
