Abstract

Each link comprises, on its inner face, two first diametrically opposed blind recesses 4 and two second blind recesses at 90 DEG from the first ones 4, and for each link there is provided a ring 6 with four studs 7 engaged respectively by pairs in the recesses. The chain of the invention is useful for supplying fluid or power to machines or appliances.

Description

Chaîne porte-câble.Cable chain.

La présente invention est relative aux chaînes porte-câbles permettant de guider des câbles, des flexibles ou des tuyaux en vue d'alimenter des machines ou des appareils en fluide, en énergie, par exemple en énergie électrique ou autre. The present invention relates to cable carrier chains for guiding cables, hoses or pipes in order to supply machines or apparatus with fluid, energy, for example electrical or other energy.

On connaît déjà des chaînes porte-câbles utilisées notamment dans l'industrie sanitaire, et constituées d'une bande métallique enroulée en hélice, les spires jointives étant accrochées les unes aux autres par la coopération de rebords radiaux dirigés respectivement vers l'extérieur et vers l'intérieur. Ces chaînes sont fragiles et n'ont qu'une durée de vie réduite. Leur structure même impose à leur surface extérieure un aspect peu esthétique. Cable-carrier chains are already known, used in particular in the sanitary industry, and consisting of a metal band wound in a helix, the contiguous turns being hooked to one another by the cooperation of radial edges directed respectively outward and toward the interior. These chains are fragile and only have a reduced lifespan. Their very structure imposes an unattractive appearance on their exterior surface.

L'invention pallie ces inconvénients par une chaîne porte-câble comprenant une succession de maillons creux articulés les uns aux autres, qui dure nettement plus longtemps que les chaînes porte-câble antérieures et dont l'aspect extérieur peut être modifié, tant en raison de la forme meme des maillons, qui n'est plus imposée, que par le fait que ces maillons présentent des surfaces planes ou courbes unies, sur lesquelles on peut apposer des motifs décoratifs de son choix. The invention overcomes these drawbacks by a cable-carrying chain comprising a succession of hollow links articulated to each other, which lasts significantly longer than the previous cable-carrying chains and whose external appearance can be modified, both due to the very shape of the links, which is no longer imposed, only by the fact that these links have flat or curved surfaces, on which one can affix decorative patterns of his choice.

Suivant l'invention, chaque maillon comporte sur sa face intérieure deux premiers évidements borgnes diamétralement opposés du côté du maillon précédent, et deux seconds évidements borgnes à 900 des premiers du côté du maillon suivant, et il est prévu, pour chaque maillon, un anneau à quatre tétons radiaux engagés respectivement par couple dans les évidements de deux maillons adjacents. According to the invention, each link has on its inner face two first blind recesses diametrically opposite on the side of the previous link, and two second blind recesses 900 of the first on the side of the next link, and there is provided, for each link, a ring with four radial nipples engaged respectively by couple in the recesses of two adjacent links.

L'articulation d'un maillon au maillon adjacent est très solide tout en étant parfaitement invisible de l'extérieur. Les faces extérieures des maillons ne reflètent plus le mode d'articulation des maillons. The link from one link to the adjacent link is very solid while being perfectly invisible from the outside. The external faces of the links no longer reflect the mode of articulation of the links.

Chaque maillon peut avoir une forme générale cylindrique ou ovale mais aussi une forme prismatique, et être muni sur ses faces de motifs décoratifs. Each link can have a general cylindrical or oval shape but also a prismatic shape, and be provided on its faces with decorative patterns.

Suivant une variante, chaque maillon a deux parties saillantes postérieures se faisant face et deux parties saillantes antérieures sensiblement perpendicullaires aux deux parties saillantes postérieures. According to a variant, each link has two posterior projecting parts facing each other and two anterior projecting parts substantially perpendicular to the two posterior projecting parts.

Pour rendre le porte-câble étanche, on peut prévoir de fixer des soufflets entre les bords de deux maillons adjacents. To make the cable holder watertight, provision may be made for fixing bellows between the edges of two adjacent links.

In the accompanying drawing, given only by way of example
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a section of cable-carrying chain according to the invention,
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a link of a cable-carrying chain according to the invention, and
Figure 3 illustrates a variant.

Le tronçon de chaîne porte-câble suivant l'invention,représenté à la figure 1, comprend trois maillons 1, 2, 3, creux adjacents. Chaque maillon comporte sur sa face intérieure, deux premiers évidements bor gnes 4 diamétralement opposés et se trouvant du côté du maillon précédent. Ils comportent également deux seconds évidements borgnes 5 à 900 des premiers évi dements borgnes 4 et se trouvant du côté du maillon suivant. Un anneau 6 est prévu pour chaque maillon. The section of cable carrier chain according to the invention, shown in Figure 1, comprises three links 1, 2, 3, adjacent hollow. Each link has, on its inner face, two first diametrically opposite recesses 4 located on the side of the previous link. They also include two second blind recesses 5 to 900 of the first blind recesses 4 and located on the side of the next link. A ring 6 is provided for each link.

Chaque anneau a quatre tétons 7 radiaux à 900 les uns des autres, qui sont engagés respectivement par couple dans les evidements 4, 5, de deux maillons adjacents.Each ring has four nipples 7 radial to 900 from each other, which are engaged respectively by couple in the recesses 4, 5, of two adjacent links.

A l'intérieur de l'anneau 6, peut passer un tuyau flexible 8.Inside the ring 6, can pass a flexible pipe 8.

A la figure 2, chaque maillon a une forme sensiblement cylindrique avec des parties saillantes postérieures sensiblement perpendiculaires aux parties saillantes antérieures. In FIG. 2, each link has a substantially cylindrical shape with posterior projecting portions substantially perpendicular to the anterior projecting parts.

A la figure 3, chaque maillon a une forme générale prismatique et les bords de chaque maillon sont munis d'un soufflet 10les reliant aux bords adjacents d'un maillon adjacent de manière -à rendre le porte-câble étanche à l'eau. Un motif décoratif 9 est apposé sur la face extérieure du maillon. In FIG. 3, each link has a generally prismatic shape and the edges of each link are provided with a bellows 10les connecting to the adjacent edges of an adjacent link so as to make the cable holder watertight. A decorative motif 9 is affixed to the external face of the link.

Pour monter la chaîne porte-câble, on engage les tétons 7 dans les évidements 4 et 5 en jouant sur l'élasticité des parties saillantes des maillons. Compte tenu de ce mode d'articulation des maillons les uns aux autres, ils peuvent basculer dans deux directions perpendiculaires entre elles les uns par rapport aux autres et suivre ainsi, dans une mesure limitée néanmoins, les courbes du tuyau flexible 8. La courbure ne peut jamais atteindre le point où la communication serait interrompue dans le tuyau flexible 8. To mount the cable-carrying chain, the pins 7 are engaged in the recesses 4 and 5 while playing on the elasticity of the protruding parts of the links. Given this mode of articulation of the links with one another, they can tilt in two directions perpendicular to each other with respect to each other and thus follow, to a limited extent nevertheless, the curves of the flexible pipe 8. The curvature does not can never reach the point where communication would be interrupted in flexible hose 8.

Le tuyau flexible 8 est indépendant de la chaîne portecâble, car il n'est pas solidaire des maillons, excepté de ceux d'extrémité qui sont munis d'un pas de vis pour fixation sur les robinets ou sur les machines.  The flexible pipe 8 is independent of the cable-carrying chain, because it is not integral with the links, except for those at the end which are provided with a thread of screw for fixing on taps or on machines.
