Abstract
A conductor guiding support formed of two chains retained in parallel spaced apart relationship by spacers which support the conductors between the chains. The chains are formed of successive links pivotably coupled to each other with each link being formed of two matching plates. One end portion of each plate is provided with a central hole and arcuate slots spaced about a circle that is concentric to the central hole. The opposite end portion of the plate is offset and is provided with bosses that are in a pattern that corresponds to the pattern of the hole and slots on the other end. Two plates are placed face-to-face to form a link and the portions with the central hole and arcuate slots are in surface contact with each other while the offset portion that present the bosses are spaced from each other. The portion of the succeeding link with the contacting surfaces is placed in this space with the bosses of the offset portion engaging the openings in the surface contacting portions. The boss in the central hole establishes the pivot point of the links relative to each other and the offset bosses in the arcuate slots limit this pivotal movement. The abutting bosses of the two plates are then welded together to secure the assembly.
