Line guide apparatus for suspended applications, in particular drilling rigs, drilling apparatus or the like

A line guide apparatus for guiding a plurality of lines, comprising:

• a flexible carrying strand of high tensile strength;
• and
• a number of guide bodies arranged on the carrying strand in the longitudinal direction thereof, adjacent guide bodies being spatially deflectable relative to one another;
• at least some guide bodies in each case having
• a central part with a fastening device for fastening to the carrying strand;
• and
• an outer part with at least one circumferential element, which outwardly delimits a receiving region for lines;
• at least three radial bars being provided on the central part and holding the outer part, wherein the at least one circumferential element is connected releasably with at least one of the radial bars;
• each circumferential element having a first end which is connected swivelably by an articulated joint to a radial bar, and which has a joint region with a swivel pin which is connected swivelably with a swivel receptacle on the radial bar;
• each circumferential element having a second end which is latchable by a releasable snap-fit connection to a further radial bar and forming a latching receptacle which is latchable with a complementarily configured latching projection on the further radial bar, the latching projection projecting from the radial bar in the circumferential direction or a tangential direction thereto.
