Decorative Conduit Raceway Covering

***New Product For Licensing, Manufacturing, and/or Investors***

Inventor : Steven Iavarone

As attorney for the inventor of the innovative Decorative Conduit Raceway Covering we are currently seeking manufacturing companies to license, purchase patent rights or enter into a royalty agreement for this timely invention.

The invention is a decorative covering concealing electrical cabling or conduit on a building structure. It will conceal and protect cabling and conduit from the weather and thereby extend the life expectancy of these components including the electric company meter.

Objects & Advantages of the present invention:

The invention discloses a number of clips, channels, end caps, and a panel box which can be combined in any configuration necessary to protect and cover all of the cabling and conduit from the service mast to the structure entry point. It is ideally suited for structures having vinyl or aluminum siding and can be manufactured in any color.
The end caps will seal the raceway covering from dirt, debris, animal and rodent entry.
The channels can be cut to any length, including 45 degrees for changing direction. The open side of the channel has a lip on each edge which locks the channel into the mounting clips.
There is an electrical service panel cover which permits viewing of the meter. The panel cover also has an opening for the electric meter lock which can also be viewed.
The clips come in a variety of shapes to accommodate vertical or horizontal installation on a flat surface or to the contour of vinyl and aluminum siding.
In addition there are joining clips for changing direction or joining channels for extended lengths.

Now for the first time this unique product is available for millions of potential users. The low manufacturing cost is of major importance.
