Flexible hanger for chandeliers and the like

An apparatus comprising:

• a chain assembly of a plurality of links, each of said links being formed to interconnect with other links in a series, and formed such that when interconnected in series along an axis, to form a chain having first and second ends, they provide a continuous open passageway extending from the first end of the chain to the second end of the chain, said passageway being oriented in the same direction as said axis.
• an electric power conductor extending through the full length of the chain;
• a hanger connected to an overhead support and connected to the first end of the chain to hang the chain from the support;
• and
• an electric light connected to the second end of the chain, and to the electric power conductor;
• said links being sized to size the passageway to slidably admit said electric power conductor adequate to supply said electric light;
• wherein said chain links being connected in series for flexibility in two vertical planes which are perpendicular to each other and the links are arranged in series, each link being oriented in the same direction as the next adjacent link in the series, and wherein each link is one continuous piece of wire defining a cubical space by first and second generally parallel vertical planes, third and fourth generally parallel vertical planes perpendicular to said first and second planes, and first and second horizontal parallel planes intersecting said vertical planes, the spacing between said horizontal planes exceeding the spacing between said vertical planes,
• the wire having a generally U-shaped configuration in said first and second vertical planes, and an inverted U-shaped configuration in said third and fourth vertical planes.
