Abstract: In combination, a cable/hose retention clip and a chain link of a cable/hose handling chain, the chain link having a body including a top wall spaced from an opposed bottom wall by a side wall to define a compartment for housing a cable/hose and having an open side opposite said side wall through which the cable/hose may be inserted into the compartment, the clip being insertable into the compartment through said opening to an engaged position whereat the clip releasably engages with the top and bottom walls, wherein the clip is moulded from plastics and has a relatively rigid body portion and a pair of relatively flexible resilient arm portions depending therefrom, the body portion being arranged to extend between the top and bottom walls to close said open side when the clip is in said engaged position, said arm portions having latch formations co-operable with latch formations on the top and bottom walls for restraining withdrawal of the clip through said open side from the engaged position, the rigid body

Abstract: A cable handling chain link including an open sided cable compartment defined between an upper wall, a lower wall and a partition extending between the upper and lower walls, the partition being located in board from the side edges of the upper and lower walls which side edges define the open side of the compartment, and a cable retention device releasably connectable to the chain link, the cable retention device being a unitary member of generally elongate form having an abutment face which abuts against the inside face of one of said walls, and having a resilient tongue formation which co-operates with said inside face and a reaction means formed on the chain link to resiliently urge said abutment face into contact with said inside face, detent means on said abutment face and/or said tongue for co-operation with the chain link to restrain longitudinal withdrawal of the retention device and a lateral projection extending laterally away from said abutment face toward the opposite wall, said lateral projection

Abstract: A cable/hose handling chain having a plurality of hingedly connected chain links, each chain link including a transmission link assembly hingedly connected to adjacent transmission link assemblies to form said chain. Each chain link includes a cable/hose attachment for attaching cables/hoses thereto, the transmission link assembly for each alternate chain link having a pair of side by side plate members, and for each chain link located between the alternative chain links having at least one plate member. The plate members for said alternate chain links are arranged so as to be spaced apart to define a gap to accommodate the plate member(s) of the chain links located between said alternate chain links.
