  • Publication number: 20230407993
    Abstract: A line routing device for guiding a plurality of lines, such as cables, hoses, or the like, particularly for hanging applications, such as supplying a vertically traveling power head of a drill. The line routing device has a flexible carrying strand and a plurality of guide bodies arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the carrying strand. According to the invention, adjacent guide bodies can be deflected spatially toward each other and each guide body has a central part having a center axis, which extends coaxially to the carrying strand, and an outer part having at least one circumferential element. The outer part delimits a receiving region, which is open in the axial direction, for the lines, radially to the outside.

  • Patent number: 11408483
    Abstract: In a line guiding device for receiving and guiding energy lines, which can be arranged to form at least one loop which includes two runs and a connecting region connecting same, there is provided a device which causes a restoring force to be produced in the spread-open state of the runs in which the connecting region is bent open, the runs being moved back into their folded-together position by the restoring force.

  • Patent number: 8575486
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide conduit for a cable receptacle with a support device for the upper strand, and is designed so that the support device has an essentially flat running surface on the top side of a body which is movable solely by gravity and/or by the elastic force thereof from one position, in which the support device does not protrude significantly over the inner lateral surface of the guide conduit, to a position in which the body opposite the lateral wall protrudes into the interior of the guide conduit, and to the final position, in which the support device extends through an opening in the respective lateral wall of the guide conduit.

  • Publication number: 20120134739
    Abstract: The invention relates to a transverse web for connecting two side parts of an element of a line guiding device, comprising a toggle lever closure (2) having an actuating part (3) and a locking part (4), wherein the actuating part (3) can be swiveled from the locking position completely to the unlocking position in one step by means of a tool (B), and wherein in an engagement area (10) at a distance to the free end (8) of the actuating part (3) and to the swivel axis (axes), a lateral recess (11) for engaging the tool (W) in the transverse web (1) and for applying a force by means of the tool (W) with at least one force component in the direction of the swivel motion of the actuating part (3) to the unlocking position thereof is provided, wherein the recess (11) is laterally delimited by the opening edge (12) of the opening (9) and the actuating part (3).

  • Publication number: 20120090870
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guide conduit (1) for a cable receptacle (2) with a support device (10) for the upper strand (6), and is designed so that the support device has an essentially flat running surface on the top side of a body which is movable solely by gravity and/or by the elastic force thereof from one position, in which the support device (10) does not protrude significantly over the inner lateral surface of the guide conduit, to a position in which the body opposite the lateral wall protrudes into the interior of the guide conduit, and to the final position, in which the support device extends through an opening in the respective lateral wall of the guide conduit.

  • Patent number: 7882690
    Abstract: A transverse limb (5, 6) for connecting two side portions (3, 4) of a member of a line guide device, wherein the transverse limb (5, 6) is lockable at least at one of its ends (9) to the side portion (5, 6) to be connected there. For improved locking of the transverse limb to the side portion it is proposed that it has an actuating portion (7) and a locking portion (8) which is displaceable by way of the actuating portion (7) substantially in the longitudinal direction of the transverse limb (5, 6) towards the end (9) with which the transverse limb (5, 6) can be connected to the side portion (3, 4), into a locking position in which the transverse limb (5, 6) is lockable to the side portion (3, 4), and is displaceable away from said end (9) into an unlocking position in which the transverse limb (5, 6) is releasable from the side portion (3, 4).
