Energy-carrying chain

摘要

The invention relates to an energy-carrying chain for carrying hoses or the like between two connection points, of which at least one is movable. The chain consists of several chain links which can be connected to one another in an articulated manner and of end fastening parts arranged at the connection points. The chain links of the end fastening parts are each formed from two link plates (1) which can be connected to one another by top and bottom transverse webs. The link plates (1) of adjacent chain links overlap and the pivotability of link plates (1) following one another is limited. The link plates (1) of the end fastening parts are distinguished by the fact that they have two additional stop pieces (7) which block a pivoting movement of the end fastening parts in each direction and that the additional stop pieces (7) can be removed. The energy-carrying chain can thereby be used universally for various applications with regard to the angular disposition of the end fastening parts. <IMAGE>
