Abstract
Cable carriers having laterally stabilized tabs made of plastic. An arc-shaped guide region of one tab engages in a free space behind a retaining nub on the other tab. The retaining nub provides lateral stabilization. According to the invention, the retaining nub is spatially limited to a middle height section of the tab height and limited in dimension in the circumferential direction about the pivot axis. The arc-shaped guide region is thus overlapped solely by a smaller proportion, preferably ≤33%, of the arc length or angle width thereof by the retaining nub and remains not overlapped (that is, laterally free) over a predominant proportion, particularly 66%, of the arc length or angle width thereof by the retaining nub. This particularly facilitates the assembly of the chain tabs and their connection to each other.
