Abstract:
1. Line guide device for guiding lines, comprising a plurality of links, connected to each other in articulated fashion, where at least some, or all, of the links each display a bottom element, opposite side walls and at least one cover element, forming a duct for accommodating lines, where the plurality of links are integrally molded on one another in one piece, forming a continuous strand, and where the line guide device can be arranged to form a lower run, a curved section and an upper run, where the bottom element and both opposite side walls of the links are designed in one piece as U-sections that are essentially rigid under the intended loads, and where the cover element of the respective link is integrally molded on at least one side wall of said link and designed to be moveable relative to the side wall, and can be moved into a position closing the link and a position at least essentially releasing the area between the opposite side walls, characterized in that mutually corresponding stops of adjacent links are provided, which interact in the straight position or curved position or both of the line guide device and are in each case located on the cover elements of the adjacent links or are provided by overlapping areas of adjacent links in the form of tabs, which are integrally molded in one piece on the side walls or cover elements or both of at least some links and, starting from a first position, can be moved into a second position, in which they overlap a partial area of an adjacent link.
