CHAINE POUR GUIDAGE DES CONDUCTEURS D'EMERGIE ELECTRIQUE

摘要

A link structure for use in chains for supporting and guiding energy conductors such as cables and hoses from a fixed point to a movable consumer, which comprises two links substantially parallel to each other and having a web arranged therebetween and connected thereto. This web has at least two traverses arranged in substantially parallelly spaced relationship to each other. Each of these traverses has a cross section with two oppositely located rounded sections forming part of a circle and with two oppositely located straight sides so that the maximum distance between the rounded sections is considerably greater than the distance between the oppositely located straight sides. These traverses are respectively located in upper and lower undercut rounded cutouts provided in the upper and lower end portions of spacer webs located between the two links and are spaced from each other in the longitudinal direction of the traverses. These cutouts conform in cross section to the rounded sections of the traverses so that the traverses in one position are vertically non-removable from the cutouts of the spacer webs and in another position can be removed vertically from the spacer webs.
