Abstract
A guide chain for guiding energy lines from a stationary connection to a movable consuming device is comprised of a plurality of chain members being pivotably connected to one another. Each of the chain members is comprised of two side portions arranged at a distance parallel to one another. Two transverse elements connect the two side portions with one another. In order to open the guide chain at its upper side on either side of the side portions for providing access to the energy line channel, the two side portions are provided with a pivot joint which is comprised of a lug element extending in the longitudinal direction of the side portion and a holding member which is detachably connected to the lug element, the transverse element being connected to the two holding members.
