The known chain links usually have an outer part or shell body. This forms a boundary, which receives the guided along the cable guide chain cable. In order to receive the guided along the cable guide cable in the sheath body, the sheath body may have one or more openings through which the cables are inserted into the sheath body.

Devices for fastening such cable chains are also known from the prior art. So revealed the DE 20 2004 011 695 U1 the Applicant a fastening device for a power transmission chain, which has a base plate which can be fixed by screws or rivets.

However, the known fastening devices have, inter alia, the disadvantage that they can not be flexibly attached to different locations. There is therefore still a need for improved devices for securing cable guide chains.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide devices for attachment of cable guide chains, which overcome the problems of known constructions.

According to a first aspect, the present invention relates to a device for fixing cable guide chains. The device is preferably tool-free attachable to an object and / or detachable from it, in particular without damaging the object during attachment and / or during detachment. During attachment and / or detachment of the device, therefore, preferably no damage and / or traces are left on the object. Preferably, the device can be completely destructively removed (especially without destroying any of its components).

An object in the sense of the present invention may be a piece of furniture or a part of such a piece of furniture. In particular elongate objects, such as the legs of furniture come into question. In this case, the device can be particularly advantageous when used on tables and table legs, as well as when used on cabinets (inter alia on sheet metal cabinets) and roll containers. The devices according to the invention are preferably designed such that one and the same device can be attached without tools to objects of different shapes and / or cross sections.

The device may have a first section with a receptacle for the cable guide chain, in which the cable guide chain can be fastened.

The device according to the invention and in particular its receptacle are preferably designed and / or provided such that the cable guide chain is guided in the vertical direction when the device is fastened to a piece of furniture. Thus, the device or its receptacle is preferably designed so that a cable guide chain can be performed when mounted in the device along a table leg.

The device according to the invention can be designed so that it counteracts the rotation of a cable guide chain held therein about its longitudinal axis. For this purpose, the device may for example have an anti-rotation. The rotation lock can be designed so that it can be coupled to the outer part, the connecting body and / or the plug attachment of one or more links of the cable chain and / or engages with them. For this purpose, the rotation can be formed by a projection which can be provided for example in the receptacle, in particular in a snap and / or Klipseinrichtung the recording. This projection may be formed so that it engages in a recess of the connecting body of the chain links. Alternatively or additionally, a projection may be provided, which engages in the Matelkörper the chain links. The receptacle can also-alternatively or additionally-have at least one or more recesses in which a connecting web is received, which connects the jacket body and the central connecting body (eg the plug attachment) of a chain link. As a result, the chain link is also held against rotation in the recording.

The device according to the invention may further comprise a receiving device for receiving a strain relief (eg a pull rope) and / or a guide rod. The receiving device may be formed, for example, as an opening, snap device, tunnel section or recess. The receiving device can in particular be designed so that the strain relief (eg a pull rope) and / or the guide rod can be passed through the receiving device. The receiving device is preferably provided as part of and / or in the region of the receptacle of the device according to the invention. Thus, the receiving device (such as the opening, the snap device, the tunnel section or the recess) may be provided in the region of the receptacle and / or aligned with the tunnel portion of the male chain link. The strain relief (eg the pull rope) and / or the guide rod can be provided with a magnet as a fastening device with the magnet in a common pocket when using a magnet.

Under certain circumstances, the device according to the invention can also be fastened only and / or directly to the strain relief and / or the guide rod via the receiving device for receiving a strain relief (eg a pull cable) and / or a guide rod. In this case, attachment of the device to the chain links themselves is not required. When using such a receiving device may therefore be waived under circumstances to another recording for a chain link. A strain relief (eg a pull rope) and / or a guide rod with such a device according to the invention (or other devices according to the invention) also constitutes an independent aspect of the present invention and as such may also be independent of other aspects of the invention be claimed.

The devices according to the invention preferably have a second section with a Fastening device, via which the device can be fastened to the object. The fastening device can be designed so that a stable attachment of the device to differently shaped objects is possible, wherein preferably no tool is required for fastening and / or detachment of the fastening device from the object. The fastening device can in particular be designed so that attachment to elongated objects of the everyday office environment is possible, in particular the attachment to pieces of furniture and / or legs. In particular, a design is possible in which the fastening device directly and / or directly, so without the use of further fastening means (such as screws or rivets), is attachable to the object.

The fastening device is preferably designed so that the position of the device after its attachment is adjustable, alignable and / or displaceable. In particular, the fastening device may in this context be designed so that the device is displaceable after attachment along the table leg and / or around the table leg.

According to one embodiment, the fastening device may comprise a fastening belt. This can in particular have a hook and eye closure, which is preferably designed as a Velcro closure. The Velcro fastener is formed by a hook and an eyelet portion, which are preferably both attached to the fastening belt and / or fixed thereto. Depending on the circumference of the object (in particular depending on the circumference of the table leg), the fastening strap may have a length of at least 5 cm, at least 7 cm, at least 10 cm, at least 20 cm or at least 30 cm. The fastening strap may be integral with the remaining parts of the device (eg, integral with the receptacle) or separately therefrom.

The fastening belt may alternatively or additionally comprise a toothing (for example a self-closing toothing) and / or buttons for the closure. The fastening mechanism of the fastening belt may be formed integrally therewith. The fastening belt can be made of a fabric or fabric, but also of plastic or rubber (eg as a one-piece plastic or rubber part). The fastening belt can be formed directly on the device and / or molded onto it.

According to a further embodiment, which can also be combined with the preceding ones, the fastening device has one or more magnets (preferably neodymium magnets). The magnet (s) may include a first side or end surface forming a first pole and a second side or end surface forming a second pole. In this case, the second pole can face the side of the device which, when the device is fastened to the object, adjoins it. Between the first end surface and the second end surface, a peripheral surface may extend.

In order to achieve the highest possible magnetic flux density on the side of the device which faces the object, the magnet (s) can be provided, at least in sections, with a so-called pot. By a so-called pot magnet, on the one hand, a strong holding force can be achieved. At the same time, the guided cables are shielded as far as possible. The pot is preferably provided by a ferromagnetic structure, which covers the first end surface at least partially or completely. In this case, the ferromagnetic structure preferably rests against the magnet at least in sections in the region of this first pole and / or in the region of the first end surface. For this purpose, the ferromagnetic structure, for example, on the side of the first end face having a base plate. The ferromagnetic structure preferably further includes one or more portions extending from the first side toward and / or toward the second side. The sections may in this case at least partially or completely surround the peripheral surface of the magnet. In particular, the portion (s) may extend from the first side to the second end surface. The section (s) may terminate flush with the second end surface. Between the portion (s) and the peripheral surface and / or the second end surface is preferably formed a gap (eg, an air gap). The second pole is preferably not covered by the ferromagnetic structure. The ferromagnetic structure therefore preferably forms, in cross section, a clamp which surrounds the magnet at least in sections. The clip contacts the first pole and is spaced therefrom along the peripheral surface of the magnet. To the side of the second pole, the clip is preferably open.

According to yet another embodiment, which may also be combined with the preceding ones, the fastening means comprises or is formed by one or more clips. The brackets are preferably configured to include the object to which the device is attached. The clip may therefore comprise one or more (eg, two) arms formed in correspondence with the outer periphery of the object. Each clip may have one or more detents to resist unwanted removal from the object. Preferably, each arm is at least a locking lug provided, which may be formed, for example, at the end of the arm. On a single device several different fastening devices, which have been mentioned above, may be provided.

The second section of the device according to the invention preferably has a first side, which bears against this object when the device is fastened to an object. This first side preferably faces a second side of the second portion, on which the first portion of the device extends with the receptacle. According to some embodiments, the first portion on the second side may extend away from, for example, perpendicular to, the second portion. The first section can be provided so that it extends transversely to the longitudinal direction when the device is attached to a cable chain. When mounting the device to a piece of furniture, the first section may be perpendicular.

The second portion may be formed substantially plate-shaped. It is preferably designed so that it is a maximum of 5 cm, a maximum of 3 cm or a maximum of 2 cm wide transverse to the longitudinal direction of an attachable in the device cable chain. The first portion may have a foot or land connected at one end to the second portion and / or at the opposite second end to the receptacle.

The first page may have one or more contact surfaces that provide abutment surfaces for objects of different shapes. In order to provide a contact surface for a round or oval object, a first contact surface may be arched (in particular concavely curved). The curvature is preferably provided in a cross-section which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a cable guide chain attached to the device. The curvature of the first contact surface may correspond to the shape of the object and, for example, have a radius of curvature of at least 1.5 cm, at least 2.5 cm or at least 3.5 cm. Alternatively or additionally, the first contact surface may have a radius of curvature of at most 3.5 cm, at most 2 cm or at most 1.5 cm. A second contact surface may be substantially straight or planar to provide a bearing surface for planar objects. The second contact surface can be subdivided into different sections (for example two, three or four) which can be arranged around the first contact surface. The first portion and the second portion may in this case be formed of a relatively rigid material, for example ABS, metals, PA6 or polypropylene.

Alternatively or additionally, the second section can be designed such that it can adapt to the shape of the respective object (in particular the shape of the respective table leg). For this purpose, the entire device may be made of a relatively elastic or very elastic material. Preferably, however, the second portion is formed more flexible and / or more elastic than the first portion, in both cases in particular elastomers (especially thermoplastic elastomers), silicone and polypropylene come as flexible and / or elastic materials in question. It is also possible to use mixtures of these materials. The elastic material may have an E modulus between 0.01 and 0.1 kN / mm ² or between 0.01 and 5 kN / mm ² or less than 5 kN / mm ² . The harder material may have an E-modulus greater than 0.1 kN / mm ² or greater than 5 kN / mm ² , for example an E-modulus between 5 and 10 kN / mm ² . To DIN 53504 respectively. ISO 37 (differing from ISO 37 If an S2 rod is measured at a feed rate of 200 mm / min), the tensile strength of the material can be measured. which is used for the first and / or second section, 7 to 14 MPa, 7 to 16 MPa, 8 to 25 MPa, 10 to 35 MPa, 15 to 35 MPa, 15 to 30 MPa, 15 to 25 MPa, 20 to 30 MPa or 20 to 25 MPa.

The first and / or the second section can be made, for example, of a plastic (in particular of a thermoplastic elastomer) having a Shore A hardness of 50 to 110, 60 to 100, 70 to 110, 70 to 100, 80 to 110, 80 to 100, 90 to 110 or 90 to 100 are produced. In particular, a material having a Shore A hardness of not more than 110, preferably not more than 100, is suitable for the second section. A particularly good adhesion can be achieved by means of softer materials (eg Shore A hardnesses of not more than 95, not more than 85 or not more than 80) , For the first section, a harder material may be preferable (eg Shore A Hard of at least 70, at least 80, or at least 90) to achieve a high holding force when the cable chain engages in the first section receptacle. Alternatively, a much softer material may be used for the first and / or second portion, such as having a Shore A hardness of less than 95, less than 85, less than 75, less than 70, less than 65, less than 60, less than 55, less than 50 or less than 45. This is particularly advantageous if the receptacle has one or more tunnel sections and / or the receptacle does not have to provide a snap function. For the first and / or second section, a material having a Shore D hardness of less than 60 or less than 50 is preferably used. Harder and softer materials can be combined, for example, by preparation in a 2K process (such as a 2K injection molding process). Shore A and Shore D can harden after DIN ISO 7619 be determined.

The device preferably has a support area, which bears against the object when fixed. This support area is preferably made of a material which has a relatively high static friction coefficient. In this case, materials having a Shore A hardness of less than 95, less than 85, less than 75, less than 70, less than 65, less than 60, less than 55, less than 50 or less than 45 have proven advantageous, in particular thermoplastic elastomers.

Alternatively or additionally, the second portion may be formed with a smaller wall thickness than the first portion so as to reduce the rigidity of the second portion. Through all these variants, it can be achieved that the second section is deformable in such a way that the first side lies straight in a first fastening situation (eg on a straight surface, such as on a rectangular table leg) (ie forms a straight contact surface). and in a second attachment situation (eg, on a round or oval object, such as on such a table leg) may assume a radius of curvature of 1 cm, 1.5 cm, 2.5 cm, or 3.5 cm (ie, a domed one or curved contact surface forms).

Alternatively or additionally, the second portion may comprise one or more joints (eg, two, three, or four joints) to allow adaptation of the shape of the second portion to the respective object. The second section is preferably more flexible at the joint or at the joints than at the remaining parts of this section, ie in particular more flexible than at the parts of the second section, which are arranged between or around the joints. The joint or joints may be provided so as to extend in the direction of a cable guide chain attached to the device. Under certain circumstances, the joint or joints may be so flexible that the device can be bent at an angle of at least 70 °, at least 90 ° or at least 100 °. For example, the device may also be secured along the edges of a table leg having a polygonal cross-section (such as a rectangular cross-section).

The joint or joints may be formed, for example, as film hinges, wherein the second portion in the region of the respective film hinge preferably has a wall thickness and / or material thickness of at most 1 mm or at most 0.5 mm. Along the parts of the second section, which are not provided with joints, belt receivers, magnets and / or magnetic recordings may be provided. These parts are therefore preferably more stable and / or rigid than the hinges formed to provide sufficient strength. The device according to the invention may have one, two, three, four, five, six or more magnetic recordings. In each case a magnet can be provided. However, it may also be possible to use several magnets per recording. The magnets may be arranged and / or formed in the magnetic receptacles so that they attract each other or at least some of the magnets to each other. Alternatively or additionally, at least some or all of the magnets may be arranged and / or formed in the magnetic receptacles in such a way that they repel each other.

The joints (which may in particular be designed as film hinges) may be provided at different locations between the recordings. In particular, all or some of the joints may be provided on the first side, near the first side, on the second side, or near the second side of the second portion. Alternatively or additionally, all or some of the joints may be provided centrally between the first and second sides of the first section. Going out from the first side, at least some or all of the joints may be arranged in the first third, second third and / or third third of a height corresponding to the distance between the first side and the second side. Alternatively or additionally, latching devices and / or projections can be provided between the magnet receivers.

The flexibility of the joints can - alternatively or additionally - also be limited by the first section. Thus, the first portion may be formed so that it extends at the point where the first portion is connected to the second portion, partially in the region of or in the region of a plurality of the film hinges. The respective film hinge is thereby narrowed accordingly. The second portion of the device may comprise a plurality of pairs of magnetic recordings, wherein at least between two of the pairs a joint (preferably a film hinge) may be provided. The pair of recordings can also be connected via a bridge. The web can in this case be relatively flexible but also more rigid than the joints. The web or the webs of the individual pairs of receptacles are preferably offset from the second side of the second section, preferably in the direction of the first side. As a result, a recess was provided between opposing receptacles of a pair, in which the shell body of the chain link is received.

The webs can also be arranged offset from one another, in particular offset along the height of the second section. So z. B. a middle web can be arranged higher or lower than two webs, which surround this laterally. Thereby, a receptacle can be formed, which allows the threading and / or insertion of a belt and / or a band. Such a belt may have a Velcro strip (with a hook and / or loop portion).

At least one of the webs, in particular one or both of the lateral webs, may have a bevel or recess. This slope is preferably provided on the first side of the second section.

The second portion may provide slip resistance in all of the aforementioned embodiments. This anti-slip device can be provided in particular on the first side of the second section (in particular on the contact surface (s)).

The second portion may be configured such that a fastening strap (as described above) is attachable thereto. For this purpose, the second section preferably has one or more (eg two or three) belt receivers. The belt receivers are preferably designed so that the fastening belt can be threaded into and / or through it. For this purpose, the belt receptacles may have a length of at least 1 cm, at least 1.5 cm or at least 2 cm and / or a width of at least 0.2 cm or at least 0.5 cm. The length to width ratio may be 2 to 1.5, 2 to 1 or 5 to 1, for example. Further, the belt receptacles may have a length of at most 4 cm or at most 3 cm and / or a width of at most 0.7 or at most 0.5 cm. The Gurtaufnahme / n may / may be formed as a rectangle / e, for example, with an aspect ratio of 2 to 1.5, 2 to 1 or 5 to 1.

The strap receivers may extend through the second portion according to embodiments of the device, for example, from the first side of the second portion to the second side thereof. In this case, the fastening belt can be threaded from the first side through a first belt retainer to the second side, then guided over the second side and finally threaded through a second belt retainer from the second side back to the first side. This can be beneficial for round or oval objects. Alternatively, the fastening belt can be threaded from the second side through a first belt seat to the first side, then guided over the first side and finally threaded through a second belt seat from the first side back to the second side. This can be advantageous for straight objects.

The second portion may also include a peripheral wall extending between the first and second sides of the second portion. According to embodiments, the belt receptacle may also be provided by an opening or recess provided in this peripheral wall. Thus, for example, be provided a belt receiving, which extends from one side of the peripheral wall to the opposite side of the peripheral wall and thus extends parallel to the plane of the second portion therethrough. In this case, the opening or recess can open in one or more sections of the peripheral wall, which extend transversely to the longitudinal direction of a recorded cable chain. The opening or recess in the peripheral wall may also extend along a plurality of subsections of the peripheral wall and be open, for example, to a portion of the peripheral wall which extends parallel and / or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable chain. In this way, the recess or opening can be designed so that the device can be pushed onto the fastening belt, the cable tie, the fastening strap or the rubber band in the longitudinal direction of a cable guide chain received thereon and / or can be pulled off from it. Despite the designation as "Gurtaufnahmen" these can serve to accommodate all these fasteners.

The fastening device may have one or more magnets, which may be, for example, round, oblong, oval, square or rectangular. For fixing the magnets to the device according to the invention, the second section may have one or more magnetic recordings. These may, for example, be designed so that they place the magnets as close as possible to the object to which the device is to be attached. The magnets may in particular be accommodated on the first side of the second section.

The magnetic recordings can provide a scratch protection which prevents contact of the magnets with the object when the device according to the invention is fastened to an object. For this purpose, the magnetic receptacle may be configured so that it spaced the respectively received magnet from the first side of the second portion. For this purpose, the magnet receptacle can provide a material layer which is arranged between the magnet and the object when the device according to the invention is fastened to the object. For this purpose, the magnetic receptacle may be at least partially formed so that it forms a profile in cross section, which is closed to the object. For example, a closed profile or a U-profile, which is only open laterally. The material layer can, for example, a Wall thickness of 0,1 mm to 3 mm, 0,3 mm to 3 mm, 0,5 mm to 3 mm, 1 mm to 3 mm, 0,1 mm to 2 mm, 0,3 mm to 2 mm, 0, 5 mm to 2 mm, 1 mm to 2 mm, 0.1 mm to 1 mm, 0.3 mm to 1 mm or 0.5 mm to 1 mm. The wall thickness may not exceed 7 mm, not more than 5 mm, not more than 4 mm, not more than 3 mm, not more than 2 mm or not more than 1 mm. The material layer can at least partially form the contact area of the device.

The magnet receptacle (s), in particular the profile which forms the respective magnetic receptacle (s), can also have one or more side walls or sidewalls. These may optionally have a greater wall thickness than the material layer which is arranged between the magnet and the object when the device is attached to the object (eg at least 1.5 mm or at least 2 mm). The wall thickness of the film hinges, the material layer and / or the side walls is preferably significantly smaller than the depth of the second section and / or the first section in the longitudinal direction of a cable chain to be attached to the device (eg in a ratio of at least 1 to 3 , at least 1 in 4 or, at least 1 in 5).

Alternatively, the magnetic receptacle can also be designed as a U-profile which is open to the object. In order to hold the respective magnet and / or to prevent contact between the magnet and the object, the U-profile may have latching noses which prevent the magnet from jumping out of the profile and / or are arranged between the magnet and the object.

The fastening device of a fastening device according to the invention, in particular the fastening belt, the magnet (s) and / or the clamp is preferably designed such that a cable guide chain can be fastened to the object by means of the device without the need for further auxiliary and / or fastening means are. The fastening device of a single apparatus according to the invention can provide a withdrawal force of at least 40 N, at least 50 N or at least 60 N (preferably about 4 kg, 5 kg or 6 kg withdrawal force), which is preferably the one force to Deduction of the fastening device transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain (ie preferably transverse to the table leg) is required. In this case, a maximum withdrawal force of 150 N, 100 N or 50 N (preferably about 15 kg, 10 kg or 5 kg withdrawal force) is preferably not exceeded in particular when using magnets to the user tool-free and non-destructive manual removal of the device to allow from the object. The fastening device of a single device according to the invention can also be designed so that they have a minimum holding force of 10 N, 20 N, 30 N, 40 N, 50 N or in the longitudinal direction of a recorded thereon cable routing chain (ie in particular in the vertical direction and / or along the table leg) 60 N (about 1 kg, 2 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg, 5 kg or 6 kg holding force). Thus, on the one hand a reliable attachment of the cable guide chain is ensured by a relatively small number of inventive devices. On the other hand, the individual devices can be removed by a user tool-free by hand from the respective object. If, in addition, a permanent fixation of the device is desired, it may have (eg its second section) one or more holes and / or one or more openings for fastening the device by means of screws or rivets.

The devices according to the invention can be designed and / or provided in such a way that they are largely concealed by the chain links (in particular by their sheathing bodies) after attachment of a cable guide chain to the device. For this purpose, the first portion and / or the second portion may be dimensioned such that the first side of the second portion is arranged substantially flush with the lateral surface of the jacket body of the chain links when a cable guide chain is mounted in the receptacle. When attaching the device to a cable guide chain, the first side can be designed and / or provided so that it protrudes a maximum of 5 mm, a maximum of 3 mm, a maximum of 1 mm or not at all transversely to the longitudinal direction of the chain links between the chain links. In particular, the device may be configured such that the first side of the second section protrudes transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable chain at most 5 mm, not more than 3 mm, not more than 1 mm, or not at all over the outer part and / or the shell body of the chain links, between which the device is arranged is. As a result, a particularly appealing overall picture of the cable guide chain for the viewer is achieved. On the other hand, it is of course - depending on the application - possible that the first side protrudes when attaching the device to a cable guide chain between the chain links, for example at least 5 mm, at least 3 mm or at least 1 mm. Alternatively, a part of the device itself, in particular its first section, as a chain link and / or as a rigid cable management system (for example, as a cable guide tunnel) in which one or more cables can be performed and to which one or more (preferably two) cable guide chain sections can be fastened be trained. For lamination of the device, this can also be mounted between two chain links. But it is also possible attachment at the beginning or end of a cable guide chain.

The second portion of the device may have a height H (which may be defined, for example, as the distance between the first side and the second side of the second portion), a depth T (which may be, for example, the extension in the longitudinal direction of a device provided on the device Chain can be defined) and a width B (which can be defined, for example, as the dimension transverse to the longitudinal direction of a chain to be provided on the device).

The device preferably has at least one magnet, by means of which the device can magnetically fix a cable guide chain and / or a specific link of a cable guide chain to the object.

According to embodiments, the device has a receptacle which is designed such that the device can be fastened by means of this to the jacket body and / or to the connecting body of a chain link. The receptacle can for example be designed so that the device in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain can be pushed onto the shell body of the chain link. The receptacle may have a snap device and / or be designed as a snap device. The recording can also be designed according to the previously described recordings. Alternatively, it is also possible to form the device in one piece with a cable chain link, for.

In addition, the base, the support region or the material layer of another material, in particular of a softer material and / or of a material having a higher coefficient of static friction (especially against metal, eg painted or powder-coated), as the sheath body of the chain link or at least portions thereof. This also applies if device and chain link are integrally formed. The materials mentioned have proven to be particularly suitable in particular compared to painted and powder-coated metals, as they are often used in the furniture industry. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable to use other materials and to coat them on the surface. For example, the matel body of a chain link and / or the support surface of the device and / or the magnet itself may be coated, in particular with an anti-slip layer (eg of thermoplastic elastomers, natural rubber, technical rubber _, silicone and / or neoprene). The coating may be provided by and / or comprise a residue-free removable and / or reusable adhesive.

The at least one magnet may optionally be provided in the magnetic receptacle in such a way that it is completely surrounded and / or enveloped by the magnet receptacle, also air-tight and / or watertight. This can be achieved, for example, by inserting the magnets into the mold during production of the device and encapsulating them with plastic.

The at least one magnet is preferably designed as a neodymium magnet and / or as a pot magnet (see above). The pot magnet can preferably be provided on the device such that a significantly higher magnetic flux density is achieved to the side of the device which faces the object.

Alternatively or additionally, the chain link may have one or more magnetic receptacles with at least one magnet, which may be formed in the manner described above (eg, also integral with the chain link, such as with its outer part or shell body).

The chain link may comprise an outer part or shell body which is deformable along at least one portion, so that this portion can conform to the shape of an object to which the chain link is attachable. For this purpose, the chain link may have at least one joint along the section and / or be made of a deformable material, for. B. of a thermoplastic elastomer. The remaining portions of the outer part or sheath body may be made of a different material or other materials. The outer part or sheath body may have one or more apertures through which the cables are insertable into the sheath body. In the region of this aperture (s), the jacket body according to embodiments of the invention is preferably formed of a stiffer material than along the deformable portion. In each case, materials with the characteristic values described above can be used. For the deformable section come z. B. materials with a Shore A hardness of less than 95, less than 85, less than 75, less than 70, less than 65, less than 60, less than 55, less than 50 or less than 45 in question (see also the Characteristics discussed above with respect to the first and / or second portion of the device).

According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a cable guide chain with one or more devices according to the invention and / or one or more chain links according to the invention. Yet another aspect relates to a set having a cable drag chain and one or more devices according to the invention. An aspect of the invention also relates to a piece of furniture or furniture piece, in particular a piece of furniture leg (such as a table leg), with a device according to the invention or a cable chain according to the invention.

According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a cable guide chain with a plurality of chain links and a device for fastening the cable guide chain to an object, the device being provided at the beginning and / or at the end of the cable guide chain. The Device preferably has a fastening device, by means of which the device can be attached to the object without tools and / or can be detached from the object. In this context, the fastening device came to have one or more magnets.

The magnet or magnets of the device are preferably arranged so that the magnetic attraction between the magnet (s) and the object acts along and / or parallel to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. In this case, the magnet or the magnets are preferably arranged by the device in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain beyond the last chain link and / or behind the last chain link of the cable guide chain. Depending on the embodiment, the device can be arranged on the central axis of the last chain link and / or mirror-symmetrically to a plane of symmetry which extends through this central axis. Alternatively, the device may be configured so that the magnetic receptacles and / or the magnets of the device are arranged point-symmetrically to this central axis of the last chain link and / or distributed at regular intervals around this central axis (eg on a circle or a circular arc).

The device may form the first and / or the last member of the cable management chain.

The device may have a first section with a receptacle for the cable guide chain, in which the last chain link of the cable guide chain can be fastened. The receptacle may for example be provided on the device such that it is arranged on the central axis of the last chain link.

The receptacle can have one or more snap-action and / or clip-on and / or latching devices which can be coupled to the cable guide chain. The receptacle can provide, for example, a bayonet connection, via which the cable guide chain can be coupled to the receptacle. So the recording z. B. have a bayonet groove which forms the bayonet connection with one or more lugs and / or projections of a plug attachment of a connecting body of the respective chain link.

Alternatively or additionally, the receptacle may have one or more pins that can be coupled to the cable guide chain. In particular, the receptacle may have a first pair of pins, wherein preferably one pin of this pair is arranged so that it engages in a connection eye of the chain links of the cable guide chain and / or can be clipped into it. The receptacle may also have a second pair of pins, which is preferably also arranged so that each pin engages in a connection eye of the chain links and / or can be clipped into it. When the first pair of pins engage the connection lugs (in particular, when only the first pair of pins engage the connection lugs), the cable leash chain (in particular the last chain link) is preferably slidable in the longitudinal direction of the cable chain and / or pivotable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable chain Recording stored. If both pairs of pins engage in the connection eyelets, the cable guide chain (in particular its last chain link) is preferably non-pivotable and / or non-displaceable (for example rigid) mounted on the receptacle.

Alternatively or additionally, the receptacle can have one or more tunnel sections and / or one or more snap-in lugs which can be coupled to the cable guide chain.

The tunnel sections and / or the snap-in lugs are preferably designed such that they can receive the connecting body and / or the plug attachment of the connecting body of the chain link.

The receptacle can therefore be designed such that the last chain link, in particular its plug attachment and / or connection eyes, can be articulated in the receptacle. In this case, the last chain link is preferably pivotable about at least one axis relative to the device, wherein the axis is preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. The receptacle can therefore be designed so that it allows a pendulum movement of the last chain link.

According to embodiments of the invention, the receptacle can have a latching fork in order to receive the plug attachment of the chain link (in particular a double plug attachment). In this context, the receptacle may have one or more recesses for receiving one or more end thickenings of the plug attachment (eg balls). The one or more recesses may be dome-shaped.

In order to facilitate insertion of the plug attachment into the receptacle, the receptacle (in particular, to whom it is designed as a latching fork) can provide an insertion aid. The insertion aid is preferably arranged so as to facilitate the insertion of the plug attachment transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. This may be particularly advantageous when using a Doppelsteckeransatzes on the chain links. The insertion aid is preferably as an insertion bevel formed, in particular when a cross-section of the recording is considered transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain.

Alternatively or additionally, the receptacle, in particular a snap and / or clip device of the receptacle, be designed so that it receives the outer part and / or the shell body of a chain link. In this case, the receptacle is preferably designed such that the device can be pushed onto the outer part of the chain link in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. For receiving the outer part, the receptacle can have one or more (eg two) support arms.

The receptacle may optionally provide an anti-rotation device which prevents the chain link received therein from twisting about the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain (or the central axis of the chain link). The rotation can be provided by a coupling of the outer part of the chain link and / or the plug attachment with the recording.

In addition to the first section, the device may have a second section on which the fastening device is provided. The second section preferably has a first side, which rests against the object (in particular on a piece of furniture or on a table leg) when the device is fastened to the object. The second portion may also include a second side from which the first portion of the device may extend (eg, perpendicular).

The second portion of the device may be configured to conform to the shape of the object to which the device is attached. This is particularly advantageous because in this case the device can flexibly adapt to the shape of the table or its components, such as the shape of a cable channel and / or the shape of the table leg.

For this purpose, the device may be formed entirely of a flexible, elastic or very elastic material. Alternatively, the second portion may be made of a softer and / or more flexible and / or more elastic material than the first portion. Thus, at least the second portion is preferably formed from an elastomer or silicone (completely or at least partially).

Alternatively or additionally, the second portion may have one or more joints (eg, two, three, or four joints). In this case, the second section is preferably made more flexible at the joints than at the remaining parts (or between the joints). This makes it possible to provide rigid sections between the individual joints and / or to arrange non-deformable components (such as magnets). The hinges are preferably provided so as to permit pivoting of parts of the second section about an axis which is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain.

As already explained above, such joints z. B. be designed as film hinges. The material thickness in the joints can z. B. at most 1.5 mm, not more than 1 mm or at most 0.5 mm. As such, the device may have all the features described above.

Alternatively or additionally, the second section may have one or more holes and / or one or more openings through which the second section can be fastened to the object by means of additional retaining means (for example, the holes and / or openings can be used to pass a screw , a guide rod and / or a Zugentlastungsseils serve).

The second section may optionally have one, two, three, four or more arms. The arms are preferably each connected to the device at a first end (eg with the first section). The arms are preferably movable relative to the first section, so that a magnet provided on these arms can be flexibly positioned on the object. The arms can z. B. at least partially made of rubber, thermoplastic elastomers, polypropylene or silicone. In particular, this material may be softer than the material of the first section.

The arms preferably each have an opposite, wide end. At this second end, a magnetic receptacle and / or a magnet is preferably provided in each case. The second end is preferably free and not fixed to the device, whereby a very high flexibility and adaptability of the arms can be achieved.

The fastening device is preferably designed such that, in addition to this fastening device, no further fastening means are required in order to fasten the cable guide chain to the object via the device. In particular, it is preferred that in addition to the magnetic force provided by the device no further fastening means are required. In particular at the end of the cable guide chain (eg on the last chain link and / or beyond the last chain link), preferably no further devices are required. Preferably, only the magnetic force is sufficient.

For this purpose, the magnets of the fastening device (in particular the magnets of a single device) preferably provide overall a holding force in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain of at least 10 N, 20 N, 30 N, 40 N, 50 N or 60 N. In order to ensure that the device can be removed from the object without tools, a maximum withdrawal force of 150 N, 100 N or 50 N is preferably not exceeded (eg transversely and / or in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain).

The second section preferably has one or more magnetic recordings, in which preferably at least one magnet is arranged in each case. The magnetic recordings are preferably designed so that a direct physical contact between the respective magnet and the object is prevented. For this purpose, the picked-up magnet is preferably spaced by the magnetic recording of the object to which the device is attached. The magnet receptacle is therefore preferably designed such that it spaces the received magnet from the first side of the second section. In this way, a scratch protection can be formed to prevent the magnet (especially an uncoated magnet) from scratching the object. The scratch protection can be provided, for example, by a material layer and / or sections which protrude beyond the magnet.

For this purpose, the magnetic receptacle can be designed, for example, as a profile (for example a profile and / or a pocket) which is open to the object, wherein the profile preferably has latching noses and / or projections which prevent the magnet from jumping out of the profile. Alternatively or additionally, the magnetic receptacle may be formed such that a material layer is arranged between the magnet and the object. This material layer is preferably arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain and / or perpendicular to the central axis of the last chain link. If the last chain link has a plug attachment, the material layer can also be arranged perpendicular to the or the connector axes of the chain link. The material layer preferably has a wall thickness of at most 1 mm, at most 0.5 mm or at most 0.2 mm, wherein this wall thickness is preferably less than one, two or all other walls of the magnetic recordings. Preferably, the material layer has a wall thickness of at most 75% or 50% of the thinnest of the other walls of the magnetic recording.

The device, in particular its second section (and in particular its first side), preferably provides an anti-slip device, which counteracts slippage of the device on the object. For this purpose, the device may in particular have a support region which is at least partially made of a material having a Shore A hardness of less than 95, less than 85, less than 75, less than 70, less than 65, less than 60, less than 55, less than 50 or less than 45. Alternatively or additionally, the support area may have a slip-resistant coating. In this case, the support area may be formed, in particular, by the material layer of the magnetic receptacle which is formed between the magnet accommodated therein and the object. Alternatively or additionally, buffers (for example so-called "Bumpon" elastic buffers from 3M) can be provided along the contact area.

According to the invention, different magnets can be used in conjunction with the magnetic recording. For example, at least one of the magnets may be formed as a pot magnet. The magnets may also have a round, elongated, oval, square or rectangular shape in cross-section. Furthermore, the magnet (s) may be coated on at least one side, for example with neoprene, rubber, silicone, polypropylene and / or a thermoplastic elastomer (eg by means of a gum spray).

Preferably, however, cheap standard magnets can be provided in the magnet holder. Such magnets may in particular have the form of a prism with a rectangular or square base or a cylindrical shape (in particular with a circular base) and preferably have no coating with anti-slip materials. By using such magnets, the cost of individual devices can be significantly reduced. These standard magnets can optionally be a magnet that is not a pot magnet.

The or the magnets are preferably inserted, clamped, glued, screwed and / or pressed in the respective magnetic recordings. Alternatively or additionally, the magnet (s) may be partially or completely encapsulated and / or enveloped. Preferably, the magnet (s) can be fastened in the magnet receptacle (s) and / or removed from it without tools. The magnet holder can surround the respective magnet for this purpose by at least four, five or six sides, preferably completely in at least one circumferential direction. The magnetic receptacle can be designed such that the respective magnet can be inserted into and / or removed from the magnet receptacle substantially in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. In this case, the magnet may preferably from the second side of the second portion towards the first side of the second Section are introduced into the magnet holder.

The chain links of the cable guide chain may have a first extension and a second extension transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain, wherein the first extension is preferably measured perpendicular to the second extension. The device preferably has a first dimension, which is preferably less than the first extent, parallel to the first extent, and a second dimension, which is preferably less than the second extent, parallel to the second extent. When viewed along the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain, the device preferably does not protrude beyond the chain links (in particular not over the last chain link). In a projection of the device and the chain links (in particular of the last chain link on which the device is mounted) along the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain on a surface which is transverse to this longitudinal direction, the outer contour of the device is preferably smaller than the outer contour of the device chain links. In other words, in a projection of the device and the chain links (in particular the last chain link on which the device is mounted) along the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain onto a surface which is transverse to this longitudinal direction, the outer contour of the device is preferably within the outer contour the chain links arranged. Alternatively, when the device and the chain links (in particular the last chain link to which the device is attached) is projected, the outer contour of the device can also be larger than the outer one along the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain on a surface which is transverse to this longitudinal direction Be outline of the chain links and / or be arranged outside the outer contour of the chain links. The chain links of the cable guide chain may have a length in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain that is greater than a length of the second section in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain.

The first and / or the second portion may be formed, for example, of plastic or metal. Moreover, the first and second sections may be formed of the same or different materials.

The first and second sections may be integrally formed with each other and / or in one piece. Alternatively, the first and the second portion may be formed separately and connectable to each other, wherein the second portion may be designed, for example, on the first portion pushed (for example, transverse to or in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain). In particular, the second section can form a receptacle for the first section, which can surround the first section on at least 4 sides. This receptacle can be designed as a bag.

The receptacle for the first section may have an outer diameter equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of a (preferably cylindrical) magnet received at the second section. In this case, the outer diameter of the receptacle can correspond to an outer diameter of the connecting portion of the chain links. The outer diameter of the connecting portion of the chain links can therefore also be equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the magnet. An outer part of the chain links may be larger or similar in size to the magnet. If the chain links have a round outer part, this may in particular have an outer diameter which is equal to or greater than an outer diameter of the magnet.

Alternatively, the (in particular cylindrical) magnet may have an outer diameter which is equal to or smaller than an outer diameter of the first portion and / or as an outer diameter of the connecting body of the chain links. In this case, the second portion may have an outer diameter that is larger than an outer diameter of the magnet and / or an outer diameter of the first portion, wherein the outer diameter of the second portion is preferably smaller than an outer diameter of the outer part of the chain links.

The second section preferably has an outer diameter greater than 15 mm or greater than 20 mm. Alternatively or additionally, the second portion preferably has an outer diameter of at most 60 mm, at most 50 mm, at most 30 mm or at most 25 mm.

The outer diameter of the magnet may be greater than its length in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. The magnet is therefore preferably seconded in corresponding embodiments, substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable chain.

Depending on the embodiment, the second portion may be formed, for example, as a sleeve. The sleeve has preferably at one end an opening through which at least one magnet can be inserted into the sleeve. The opening is preferably provided at the end of the sleeve, which faces the last chain link of the cable guide chain. If the first portion is integrally formed with the second portion, the magnet is preferably inserted into the opening before the last chain link of the cable guide chain is attached to the first portion. If the first portion is formed separately from the second portion, this can be designed so that it can be inserted through the opening in the sleeve, wherein preferably the entire first portion is accommodated in the corresponding receptacle, the second portion. In this case, preferably at least one magnet is inserted into the second section before the first section is inserted into it, so that the magnet is preferably arranged and / or held between a bottom of the sleeve and the inserted first section.

The sleeve may have one or more latching devices which counteract a falling out of the inserted magnet and / or the inserted first portion. Such a locking device can be formed, for example, by an undercut which surrounds the opening of the sleeve at least in sections. This undercut is preferably designed such that it at least partially or completely surrounds the first portion. The undercut may be formed in the region of the opening or spaced therefrom. The undercut may extend at least in sections around an inner peripheral surface of the second section.

Alternatively or additionally, such a latching device may be formed by a groove and / or a projection which extends at least partially or completely around the circumference of the first section (in particular around an outer circumference). The groove and / or the projection may run around an outer periphery of the first portion and / or form a step or undercut which may cooperate with the undercut of the second portion to provide the detent device. In order to facilitate the insertion of the first section into the receptacle of the second section, the first and / or the second section may have a corresponding chamfer.

The sleeve may optionally be made of a relatively soft material, in particular a material that is softer than the material of the connecting body de chain links. For example, a thermoplastic elastomer, silicone, neoprene, rubber or polypropylene can be used.

The second section may optionally form a frame that provides a through opening through which cables received in the cable guide chain may pass through the second section. The device is preferably designed such that the receptacle of the first section for the chain link is arranged centrally with respect to the passage opening. The frame may be mirror-symmetrical to a plane of symmetry of the chain links. Preferably, the frame is arranged around the central axis of the cable guide chain.

For example, the frame may be polygonal. be circular, circular arc, horseshoe-shaped or U-shaped, especially when viewed along the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain. In this case, the frame may be substantially flat and / or it may extend substantially transversely to the longitudinal direction of the cable guide chain.

Preferably, at least one magnet receptacle is provided along the frame, in which at least one magnet is arranged. More preferably, at least two magnetic recordings are provided.

The device can optionally be formed by two separate sub-elements, wherein preferably each one sub-element is provided on a connection eye of the last chain link. In this case, a pin of a respective pin pair can be provided in each case on one of the sub-elements.

Furthermore, the device, in particular its second section, may be in the form of a ring. The ring is preferably formed by one or more ring sections, wherein openings may be provided between the ring sections through which cables are insertable into the ring. The ring can thus form the outer part of the last chain link of the cable chain. The ring sections may each have one or more magnets or magnets provided therein. Alternatively, the ring sections themselves may be formed by a (ring-shaped) magnet.

The device is preferably separable from the last chain link and / or formed separately therefrom and can be connected to the chain link. Optionally, however, the device can also be formed in one piece with a chain link (eg, integral with the outer part and / or integral with the connecting body of the chain link), for example via a 2-K injection molding process. The device according to the invention can optionally also be referred to as a "magnetic adapter".

According to a particularly inexpensive embodiment of the device may also be a magnet about a cohesive connection (such as welding or gluing) or a fastening device (such as a screw or a rivet) directly to a chain link of the cable chain (in particular the last chain link) coupled. When using a fastening device, this can in particular be anchored (screwed about) in the tunnel section of the chain link (which serves to carry out a pull rope or mounting rod). Alternatively or additionally, an opening and / or a hole may be provided in the plug attachment of the chain link, in which the fastening device is anchored.

When using a fastening device, the magnet (eg the pot magnet) may have a through-hole through which the fastening device is passed. Alternatively or additionally, the magnet can be provided in a magnetic receptacle (for example a receptacle made of plastic), which is then fastened to the respective chain link (for example by means of a material-locking connection or by means of the fastening device).

Further aspects of the invention relate in particular to an object, such as a table (eg a desk, in particular a height-adjustable desk) or other furniture or table components (such as a table leg or a cable duct) with a cable guide chain and / or a device according to the invention ,

The invention thus provides improved devices for the attachment of cable guide chains, which are both easy to install and on the other hand provide sufficient holding power available. In addition, the devices according to the invention can be flexibly fastened to different objects at the point of use, displaced when required in the fastened state and subsequently removed again from these without leaving any traces. This is of great advantage, in particular in the redesign of offices, because the holding device according to the invention can be fastened to different objects (in particular on different legs of the table) and leaves no scratches or other traces where it was fastened. The user can therefore attach the device according to the individual space requirements and adjust the attachment in the event of changing the interior design also subsequently. The same device can then be re-attached to another object, preferably without the need for replacement parts.
