Pipe/wire structure, e.g. for supplying a moving machine with electric power, cooling water or compressed air, has a number of magnets in upper and lower branches with matching poles

摘要

A supply pipe/wire stretches in a longitudinal direction (22) and supplies a moving machine that can be folded up so that, in a folded position, an upper branch fits above a lower branch linked to it by means of a curved section. A magnetic structure (10) with a number of magnets (20) is set up so that, in a folded position, magnetic poles upon the upper branch lie opposite magnetic poles of the same name upon the lower branch. An independent claim is also included for a magnetic structure with a base layer and a covering layer made from flexible material, between both of which there is a magnet.
