Surface mount raceway makes use of a prior art bracket, of the type that normally supports an electrical device plate in the raceway base, to interact with notches provided in flanges of the raceway cover, as well as with marginal edges of the raceway base. The cover cannot be easily removed once the bracket has been so assembled with the cover and the base.

[ Having thus described my invention, what is claimed is:] [1.] A raceway for wiring and comprising:(a) an elongated raceway base defining at least one channel having opposed sidewalls, said sidewalls having longitudinally extending marginal edges that are spaced from one another to define an elongated opening therebetween, said base sidewall marginal edges defining lips projecting inwardly into said base opening;(b) an elongated raceway cover having a width that spans said opening, said cover having longitudinally extending marginal edges adapted to overlie said base sidewall marginal edges, said cover marginal edges defining depending flanges that interact with said in-turned lips of said base sidewall marginal edges to releasably secure said cover to said base; and(c) at least one bracket provided behind said cover and between said depending cover flanges for securing said cover to said base so that said at least one bracket is hidden by said cover.
