Abstract

A guide chain for guiding feed lines from a stationary connection to a movable consuming device. Separable cross pieces are provided which form through passages for the feed line. The cross pieces include cross bars and separating members which can be frictionally and positively interconnected. In order to improve the individual stability of the through passages to be adapted to the dimensions of the feed lines, the cross bars are provided on their inwardly directed wide sides with a mounting channel which has a C-shaped cross section for receiving a one-piece frame element or a segmented frame element, so that the through passages for the feed lines can be selectively formed by the separating members, or by the frame elements, or by a combination or separating members and frame elements.
