Abstract

A conductor routing device is configured as a drag chain and has a supply line that is conducted in a flexible cable conduit. The routing device is configured as a one-piece component including several segments that run around the supply line and that are interconnected by reinforcement struts. The reinforcement struts are arranged in a line and form a reinforcement strip in such a way that a flexural direction is defined for the cable conduit. The routing device can be bent until the outer sides of two adjacent segments touch. The segments may be ring-shaped segments.
