Patent attributes
The invention relates to a cable-routing device including links that are open at the ends, joined together in pivoting fashion and can be angled relative to each other in at least two directions, said links being arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the cable-routing device and forming at least one guide channel by means of guide elements located radially outwards, where tensile force-absorbing pivoting joints are located between links joined together in pivoting fashion within the cable-routing device and the links each display corresponding joint elements. In order to provide a cable-routing device that is capable of absorbing high tensile forces and/or thrust, especially in the longitudinal direction, and whose assembly and/or disassembly is facilitated, at least one pivoting joint (6, 7) is designed in such a way that, in order to form and/or disconnect the pivoting joint, the respective links (2) and/or joint elements to be joined to one another and/or disconnected from one another can be joined and/or separated in a direction (8) that encloses an angle relative to the longitudinal axis (9) of the cable-routing device.
