  • Patent number: 9879758
    Abstract: The power conducting device includes at least one first and one second line guiding device. The power conducting device has a first guiding channel and a second guiding channel which can be twisted about a common axis. The first line guiding device is arranged in the first guiding channel and the second line guiding device is arranged in the second guiding channel. The line guiding devices in each case have an end member and a connecting member, the end member being connected either to a respective inner ring or outer ring, and the connecting member being connected to the respectively other outer ring or inner ring.

  • Patent number: 9151360
    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.

  • Patent number: 8061493
    Abstract: The invention relates to a power conducting system comprising at least one power conducting unit (1) for conducting wires, cables, tubes, or similar items between a static and a mobile connection region by forming a curved section (6). The power conducting unit is formed by segments (3) connected together in a jointed manner and is conducted along a road in a conducting system. The conducting system has multiple first and second conducting elements (7,8). The first conducting elements (7) are arranged in a first plane, and the second conducting elements (8), in a second plane, spaced apart from each other. First elements (9) are arranged on some segments of the power conducting unit, and second elements (10) are arranged alternately on other segments. The first elements work together with the first conducting elements, and the second elements, with the second conducting elements.
