Abstract
A raceway for a curved wall panel, which raceway is formed by two substantially identical raceway cover members which are of substantially L-shaped cross section and include a substantially vertical leg which defines a side cover and a lower substantially horizontal leg. The vertical leg has a tang which projects inwardly adjacent the upper edge thereof for wedging engagement with the wall panel. The cover member is initially constructed as a straight elongated member having sufficient flexibility to enable it to be bent inwardly or outwardly to conform to the curvature of the wall panel. The lower leg, in the longitudinal direction is formed by a plurality of toothlike projections spaced by intermediate recesses so that the lower leg can be readily bent to conform to the curvature of the panel. Each toothlike projection terminates in a hook so that, when the opposed inner and outer covers members are secured to the panel, the hooks cam past one another and then hookingly engage to secure the inner and outer cover members together.
