Line guiding device comprising single-part longitudinal portions, and guide piece therefor

A line guiding device for movably guiding at least one supply line between two connection points, at least one of which is movable relative to the other, comprising:

• at least one longitudinal portion of the line guiding device comprises a plurality of segments and is manufactured in one piece;
• wherein the plurality of segments are connected to each other in a longitudinal direction by a flexible connection, such that the plurality of segments are pivotable relative to one another in a pivoting plane for the purposes of forming a deflecting bend during movement of the line guiding device;
• wherein the plurality of segments define at least one receiving space in which at least one supply line is placeable and held;
• wherein the plurality of segments each have a central region having a main plane perpendicular to the pivoting plane, having on a first side of the main plane a first receiving space which is delimited by a first connecting piece transverse to the main plane and by a first side part held on the first connecting piece and by a first main surface of the central region, and having on an opposite, second side of the main plane a second receiving space which is delimited by a second connecting piece transverse to the main plane and by a second side part held on the second connecting piece and by a second main surface of the central region;
• wherein the first and the second connecting piece and the first and the second side part are each manufactured in one piece with the central region;
• wherein, opposite the first and the second connecting piece, there is in each case one insertion opening for the insertion and removal of supply lines;
• wherein a flexible joint region is manufactured in one piece with the central regions of in each case two longitudinally successive segments in order to provide the flexible connection between the segments;
• and
• wherein, on at least one of the side parts, a retaining region is provided for holding the line in the respected receiving space.

A one-piece guide piece for a line guiding device for movably guiding at least one supply line between two connection points, at least one of which is movable relative to the other, comprising:

• wherein the guide piece comprises a plurality of segments and is manufactured in one piece;
• wherein the plurality of segments are connected to each other in a longitudinal direction by a flexible connection, such that the plurality of segments are pivotable relative to one another in a pivoting plane for the purposes of forming a deflecting bend during movement of the line guiding device;
• wherein the plurality of segments define at least one receiving space in which at least one supply line can be placed and held;
• wherein the plurality of segments each have a central region having a main plane perpendicular to the pivoting plane, having on a first side of the main plane a first receiving space which is delimited by a first connecting piece transverse to the main plane and by a first side part held on the first connecting piece and by a first main surface of the central region, and having on an opposite, second side of the main plane a second receiving space which is delimited by a second connecting piece transverse to the main plane and by a second side part held on the second connecting piece and by a second main surface of the central region;
• wherein the first and the second connecting piece and the first and the second side part are each manufactured in one piece with the central region;
• wherein, opposite the first and the second connecting piece, there is in each case one insertion opening for the insertion and removal of supply lines;
• wherein a flexible joint region is manufactured in one piece with the central regions of in each case two longitudinally successive segments in order to provide the flexible connection between the segments;
• and
• wherein, on at least one of the side parts, a retaining region is provided for holding the line in the associated receiving space.
