Abstract
A tube-like carrier, for energy and supply lines, comprising a plurality of interlocking link and bracket members that can be angled relative to one another. Inwardly disposed link members are provided with outwardly directed stops, and outwardly disposed bracket members, which interconnect adjacent link members, are provided with inwardly directed stops, with the stops of the link and bracket members interlocking with one another. On the upper and lower sides of the carrier, the link and bracket members leave respective openings that extend in the longitudinal direction of the carrier. Each opening is spanned by a flexible cover strip. To be able to provide a plurality of tube cross-sections, the link members are in the form of pairs of link members, with the link members of a given pair being disposed on opposite sides of the openings. A respective crosspiece is secured to, and disposed between, the two link members of each pair of link members. The bracket members are in the form of pairs of bracket members, with bracket members of a given pair being disposed on opposite sides of the openings and interconnecting adjacent pairs of link members in such a way that the latter can be angled relative to one another. A pair of flexible cover strips is provided, one spanning each opening, with each cover strip being disposed between corresponding ends of the link members of a given pair of link members.
