Line guiding device for hanging applications, particularly as a service loop for a drilling rig

A line routing apparatus to guide at least one line for hanging applications, comprising:

• a flexible carrying strand which has tensile strength and which extends over a length of the line routing apparatus;
• a plurality of guide bodies arranged in succession in a longitudinal direction of the carrying strand;
• wherein adjacent guide bodies of the plurality of guide bodies are spatially deflectable relative to each other;
• wherein each guide body of the plurality of guide bodies has a central part having a central axis extending coaxially relative to the carrying strand and an outer part having at least one peripheral element, wherein the at least one peripheral element outwardly delimits a receiving region open in an axial direction for the at least one line and is held to the central part;
• wherein, in each guide body, the outer part is openable, wherein the at least one peripheral element is connected releasably, moveably and/or pivotably to the central part of the guide body;
• and
• wherein at least some of the guide bodies, at their central part, have a respective fixing device to fix the central part to the carrying strand.

A guide body of a line routing apparatus to guide at least one line for hanging applications, comprising:

• a central part having a central axis and an axial through opening through which a carrying strand is passable;
• an outer part having at least one peripheral element, wherein the peripheral element outwardly delimits a receiving region open in an axial direction for the at least one line and is held to the central part;
• wherein the peripheral element is connected pivotably openable to the central part and/or provided on the central part is a fixing device to fix the central part in position to the carrying strand;
• and
• wherein an outside of the peripheral element has an elastic buffer to damp radial shock.
