          Application No. 08/151,741                                                  


               The invention is directed to a multi-channel duct for                  
          cables.  More particularly, two distinct channels are provided              
          wherein each channel receives a different set of conductors.                
          One channel has a separate cover and the other channel has a                
          cover which covers both the other channel and the closed cover              
          of the first channel.                                                       
               Representative independent claim 2 is reproduced as                    
          follows:                                                                    
               2.   A multi-channel duct for enclosing conductors                     
          therein, comprising;                                                        
               an elongated base having a substantially planar central                
          portion for mounting on a surface, a pair of longitudinal edges             
          and an elongated divider coupled to said central portion of                 
          said base, said divider extending substantially perpendicular               
          to said central portion of said base between said longitudinal              
          edges of said base for dividing said base into two                          
          longitudinally extending sections;                                          
               a first elongated cover for overlying and substantially                
          covering both of said longitudinally extending sections of said             
          base;                                                                       
               first coupling means, coupled to said base and said first              
          cover, for coupling said first cover to said base between a                 
          first position covering both of said longitudinally extending               
          sections and a second position exposing at least one of said                
          longitudinally extending sections;                                          
               a second elongated cover with first and second                         
          longitudinal edges for overlying and substantially covering one             
          of said longitudinally extending sections of said base; and
