Abstract
An extruded slat defined by a series of longitudinal cavities disposed in a side-by-side relationship. Typically, the longitudinal cavities total in odd numbers so that fastening can be achieved through a single cavity. The slat is fabricated from plastic resin, is light in weight, is readily cut and can be arranged into a variety of configurations. Assembly between the ends of abutting slats is usually accomplished by an interconnecting pin(s) between communicating cavities. Each longitudinal cavity is also adapted to receive a rod, a cable, or the like, serving for example, reinforcing, communication and/or communication purposes, or other uses involving concealment and/or security.
