Abstract
A guide chain for guiding energy lines form a stationary connection to a movable consuming device is comprised of a plurality of chain members being pivotably connected with one another. Each one of the chain members is comprised of two side portions arranged at a distance parallel to one another and two transverse elements that are connecting the two side portions. Separating cross-pieces which divide the energy line channel may be arranged within the energy line channel in a slidable or fixedly connected manner because the transverse elements are provided with a respective longitudinal groove. A plurality of bores extends from the bottom of the groove through the transverse elements and each separating cross-piece is provided at its upper and lower end with a holder comprising at least one pin, the length of which corresponds to the depth of the groove.
