An energy guide chain including two plate comprising successive chain plates which respectively partially overlap with each other in overlap regions. A respective side part of plastic is associated with each second chain plate. The chain plates are made from a different material from the side parts and have through apertures in their overlap regions. In its two end regions each side part has a plurality of projections which respectively engage through the overlapping apertures in the associated chain plate and the respectively adjoining chain plate to limit the relative pivotal angle of successive chain plates and/or to connect same. In addition there is proposed a two-part separating web for an energy guide chain, wherein the first part has at least one securing pin and the second part has at least one securing receiving means so that the two parts can be connected and released in a direction perpendicular to the main plane of the separating web.

A telescopic cover comprising several telescopic members for a machine tool. The telescopic members can move back and forth with respect to each other and are arranged so that they can be guided with respect to the direction of movement in an overplapping manner, can extend in two directions of movement and in guide rails that are arranged in parallel and at a distance from each other. In order to provide a telescopic cover that is constructive and easy to produce and light to move, the telescopic members respectively comprise a section with which they bridge over guide rails arranged at a distance therefrom forming a continuous arc-shaped cross-section in a first cross-section perpendicular to the direction of movement.

A tension relief for a cable carrier. A multi-part holding frame comprising bars which are connected by side parts holds block-like spacers, between which a plurality of lines, such as cables, hoses or the like, are laid. In order to exert a clamping force by the holding frame on the spacers for the purpose of strain relief, a quickly closable device is provided. A quick release clamp can be provided, which in the closed position clamps the side parts and/or the bars to one another. According to the invention, the two side parts are mounted pivotably on the lower strip and are fastened releasably to the first bar, for example by screws or the quick release clamp. Each side part can thus be pivoted from the closed position into an open position and vice versa in order to release and clamp the lines respectively.

Strain relief for quick assembly for a cable carrier

A tension relief for supply lines and a block-like clamping part therefor, which has a lateral surface designed as a clamping surface. The clamping surface of the clamping part is formed at least in one clamping portion by an elastic wall, which is delimited on the side facing away from the clamping surface by a cavity structure, which is formed by additional walls. The clamping part can be variedly used without modification on certain line diameters, in particular in a tension relief of a cable carrier or also in a connector housing.
