Abstract
A transporting device is essentially configured in the form of a cable reel and which is provided for an energy guide chain preferably equipped with cables. In order to simplify the handling and transport of the chain, the transporting device includes: a central body (3) which is preferably cylindrical and essentially arranged around a rotational axis of the transport device; terminal limiting elements (4,5) which are arranged in the vicinity of the end faces of the central body and which radially extend from the same, and divider(s) (6-9) for subdividing the space located between the terminal limiting elements into at least two sections.
Claims8
A transport device (1, 26, 30) comprising a cable drum wound up with an energy guiding chain (2) fitted with cables and having a cylindrical central core (3) mounted about a rotational axis of the transport device, end elements located on face ends of the central core and extending radially from it, and at least one divider for dividing a space between the end elements into at least one first axial section in which the cables (25, 29) protruding from an end of the energy guiding chain (2) are wound up, and into a second axial section in which the energy guiding chain is wound up, the at least one divider having an axially extending passageway between the at least one first axial section and the second axial section.
