  • Guide chain for guiding energy lines
    Patent number: 5048283
    Abstract: A guide or feeder chain for power and supply lines is provided. The chain includes chain links that comprise two spaced-apart link members that are disposed parallel to one another and are interconnected by crosspieces. The chain links have a reciprocal pivot angle delimited by abutment inserts. Exposed sides of the chain links are covered by cover plates secured to the crosspieces. End links of the chain are connected via connectors to a fixed connection at one end and to a movable consuming device at the other end. Some of the crosspieces, along a portion thereof disposed between the link members, have an enlarged cross-sectional configuration. The abutment inserts are interconnected via stems that extend into corresponding notches of the link members. A curved cover element is telescopically guided on one side of each cover plate. One end of each end link is embodied to connect to a link member, and the other end is provided with a pocket for the insertion of variously shaped connectors.

  • Guide chains for feed lines
    Patent number: 5038556
    Abstract: A feeder chain for the supply of all types of consumable material to units that move on tracks. The chain comprises a plurality of chain links and has a continuous inner space for feed lines, whereby the chain links have pivotably interconnected outer side pieces that are provided with stops for delimiting the mutual pivot angle. Each chain link is provided with two detachable crosspieces for interconnecting the outer side pieces thereof. The crosspieces are tubular pieces that are insertable via a force fit onto projections of the outer side pieces.

  • Guide or feeder chain for guiding power lines
    Patent number: 5020313
    Abstract: A guide or feeder chain for power and supply lines is provided. The chain includes chain links formed from two spaced-apart side pieces or link members that are disposed parallel to one another and are interconnected via crosspieces. Successive chain links are pivotably interconnected where they overlap one another. So that the chain links can slide on one another without becoming worn or generating noise, sliding skids are detachably secured to narrow sides of the side pieces or link members.
