Abstract
A chain arrangement for guiding energy conveying conduits and the like from a fixed point to a horizontally movable consumer in which the movement of the consumer is substantial. The chain consists of links which are pivotally interconnected and which have webs which support the conduits. The chain links abut on one side of the pivots therebetween when the chain is horizontal and on the other side when the chain is flexed. The chain leads horizontally from the fixed point and around a semicircular portion and horizontally back to the consumer which is beneath the fixed point. The arrangement includes support members detachably engageable beneath the straight portion of the chain leading from the fixed point so that the length of the straight reach of the chain extending from the fixed point is never so great that it will sag. The support means for the chain is movable into and out of engagement with the chain as the consumer moves relative to the fixed point to permit the curved portion of the chain to pass freely past the support members.
