Abstract
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.
