Abstract
A device for guiding cables has a pair of rotors and detent elements fitted to the periphery of each of the rotors at an equal circumferential interval, wherein the detent elements of one of the paired rotors are so disposed as to be engaged with those of the counterpart rotor; the detent elements are each so arranged as to define a space for allowing the passage of a carrier suspension members hanging from a cable; a cable-guiding section is provided adjacent to the detent elements of one of the paired rotors to support and guide the cable in co-operation with the cable-guiding section of the counterpart rotor.
Claims26
A cable guiding device for a cable having carrier suspension members hanging from said cable comprising:
- supporting means,
- a pair of rotors, each of said rotors comprising;
- a vertical shaft rotatably mounted on said supporting means and disposed adjacent to the shaft of the other rotor,
- a plurality of detent elements formed on the periphery of the shaft engageable with the detent elements of the other rotor, said detent elements being arranged at an equal circumferential interval as any adjacent pairs of the engaged detent elements of both the rotors defining a space for admitting therein each of said carrier-suspension members hanging from the cable;
- and
- cable guiding means formed on the upper portion of the shaft and forming a V-shape together with the cable guiding means of the other roller so as to receive and guide the cable, said rotors being rotated together with said detent elements by the advancing movement of the cable so as to allow the carrier-suspension members to pass between the rotors.
