SPATIALLY PIVOTABLE CABLE GUIDE DEVICE HAVING RADIUS-OF-CURVATURE LIMITERS

摘要

The invention relates to a cable guide device for guiding cables, hoses, or the like between a stationary and a displaceable connection point, wherein the cable guide device comprises at least one spatially pivotable segment formed by members that form a channel for receiving cables, hoses, or the like. Each member (4) is formed by a supporting body. The supporting body comprises a joint ball and a socket, designed such that adjacent members can be joined to each other with a hinge. A first means is provided that is intended and suitable for limiting the pivoting transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elements. A second means is also provided that is intended and suitable for limiting the deflection transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elements simultaneously with the first means. The second means comprise a protrusion formed on the joint ball and a recess provided in the socket The protrusion protrudes at least partially into the recess.
