ABSTRACT:
A cable supporting member includes a supporting section 11 having grooves 9a and 9b formed therein for receiving cables 5, and a pair of side sections 13a and 13b formed integrally with the supporting section 11. Each side section has an upper surface inclined in such a manner that its thickness gradually decreases with the distance from the supporting section 11 toward its outer edge. Installation of cables can be easily performed by fitting ordinary communication cables or the like in the grooves and laying flexible floor covering elements on the cable supporting member fitted with the cables. Since core wires need not be embedded in the cable supporting member, it is unnecessary to connect the cable on the cable supporting member to communication cables etc. Also, after installation, the outside appearance of the floor is not spoiled by the cable supporting member. Further, the cables fitted in the grooves are protected by the supporting section, and therefore, even when a load is applied to the cable supporting member, it does not directly act on the cables, so that the cables are scarcely damaged. Since no core wires are included, the cable supporting member is simple in structure and can be continuously produced with ease, whereby the manufacturing process is simplified and the cost can be reduced.
