Abstract
A line guiding arrangement for supporting at least one energy line, which is composed of a generally rectangular line receiving channel 1 that includes a base wall portion 2, a cover portion 3, and side wall portions 4, 5. The line receiving channel 1 is subdivided by transverse separations 6 into a plurality of segments 9, 10 that are tiltable relative to one another. The transverse separations 6 extend through the cover portion 3, and they continue in the side wall portions 4, 5 to at least the vicinity of the base wall portion 2. Also, the transverse separations are configured to define at least one recess 11 in one of the adjacent segments and a projection 12 in the other segment which engages within the recess 11. The flexural and torsional rigidity of the channel is thereby improved.
