Abstract:
1. Cable drag device for guiding energy lines, comprising a plurality of adjacent members connected to each other in pivoting fashion, each of said members having a width and including two opposite side bars connected to each other by at least one cross-connection, wherein said side bars each include an outer face, wherein said cable drag device forms a lower strand, a deflection zone, and an upper strand in the longitudinal direction of said strands, and said plurality of adjacent members are pivoted out of an essentially linear arrangement in said strands into an angled position relative to one another in said deflection zone, wherein said side bars of at least some of said plurality of adjacent members include one or more supporting elements that project outwards beyond said outer face of said side bars when in said essentially linear arrangement in said strands, and do not project outwards beyond said outer face of said side bars when in said angled position in said deflection zone, wherein at least some of said side bars including supporting elements are associated with immediately adjacent members, each of which includes an adjusting device wherein said adjusting device extends the one or more supporting elements of an adjacent member outward beyond said outer face of said side bar as a function of the relative position of said adjacent member.
