Abstract: A support (1) is for an energy supply chain (2). The support (1) is divided in a longitudinal direction (L) into a plurality of sections (5), wherein the sections (5) each have at least one tooth (6) at their ends, and wherein in each case two adjacent section (5) are interlocked with one another via the teeth (6).

Abstract: A metal connection plate of a chain link of an energy chain, which metal connecting plate has two ends, wherein one end has first elements and the other end has second elements, wherein the first elements can be inserted into the second elements of a further connecting plate in such a way that the connecting plates are rotatably connected to each other. The first and second elements are each formed by a hole having a border. The borders form stop surfaces corresponding to each other, which stop surfaces protrude substantially perpendicularly to an extent to the connecting plate.
