Energy guiding chain with integrally molded runner

Cross-piece, including snap fitting means which can be connected via said snap-fitting means to side straps of an energy guiding chain including joint elements, characterized by integrally molded runners that project beyond an upper side of the side strap to act as a stop for the cross-piece, said stop including a stop face, said runners having ends.

Energy guiding chain for guiding hoses and cables between two connecting points moving relative to each other, with several chain links connected to each other in articulated fashion, each of which displays two side straps and cross-pieces connecting them, said side straps having an upper side, where the chain consists of a strand that can be connected to one of the connecting points, and a strand that can be connected to the other connecting point, these transitioning into each other via a deflection zone, and where at least some of the chain links display runners covering the upper side of the side straps, characterized in that the runners are mounted on the cross-pieces at a distance from the side straps, characterized in that the runners are integrally molded on the cross-pieces and characterized in that the runners form a continuous plane sliding surface when the chain is stretched.
