Abstract
A cable guiding chute suitable for attachment to a ground slitting blade to dispense a plurality of cables includes a pair of generally vertical sidewall members, forward and trailing webs extending between the sidewall members to define a cable passageway, and a plurality of generally J-shaped separators extending the length of the passageway to define a plurality of cable guiding conduits. One of the sidewall members is releaseably secured to the forward and trailing webs and may be removed to expose the cable guiding conduits for lateral insertion or removal of cables. The forward web member includes a flange which is received within a plurality of retainer clips carried by the removable sidewall for stabilizing the forward end of the removable sidewall against lateral displacement. A channel-shaped latch is connected to the trailing edge of the removable sidewall and receives a locking bar member pivotally mounted on the trailing web for securing the removable sidewall in a cable dispensing position.
