Abstract
A flexible wiring system is disclosed for use with elevated floor systems and includes a grounding member which can be placed against, and mounted to, a metallic plate which forms a part of the elevated floor. An electrical receptacle is mounted to the grounding member for surface application of the receptacle on the floor. An electrical conduit is connected to the grounding member at one end and to an electrical connector at the other end. The electrical connector is flexibly movable in order to interconnect with other mating electrical connectors to perfect electrical continuity within the electrical system.
