Abstract
The apparatus for transmitting a rotary movement with at least one drive and at least one power take-off and closed, flexible chain guides arranged between the same uses force transmission takes place by an endless chain, which can be subject to push and pull and which substantially corresponds to the total length of the chain casing in the inoperative state, i.e. the length of the chain channels in the guide casings of the drive and the power take-offs and the flexible chain guides between the same. The flexible chain guide comprises a hose bendable in all spatial directions, whose inner space is used as a chain channel. According to another embodiment, the flexible chain guide part running from the drive to the power take-off and the flexible chain guide part running from the power take-off to the drive are formed by a twin hose bendable in all spatial directions, whose two inner spaces are used as chain channels.
