ABSTRACT:
The present invention introduces a raceway for association with a floor and a support of a structure to provide power or communications connectivity between the support and a location on the floor. The raceway includes a housing and a fastener. The housing, that is substantially equal in length to a distance between the location on the floor and the support, includes a conduit and a sloping side. The conduit is adapted to receive one or more lines from the support, the one or more lines are capable of communicating signals to the location on the floor. The sloping side, that has a length substantially equal to a length of the raceway, provides a gradual transition between the floor and the raceway and is capable of being substantially covered by a floor cover. The fastener can be associated with the housing to at least substantially ensconce the one or more lines. The fastener and the housing are capable of cooperating to integrate the raceway and the floor cover.
