Abstract
The invention relates to a cable drag device () for guiding power supply cables. Said cable drag device is constituted of a plurality of members () that are hinged to each other and that comprise two respective side bars () inter-linked by a cross connection. The aim of the invention is to provide a cable drag device () whose upper strand is suitably supported in a suitable retaining device for the upper strand. For this purpose, the side bars () of at least some members () comprise supporting elements () that project outward beyond the remaining areas of the outer face () of the respective side bar () when having a substantially linear relative position to an adjacent member. These supporting elements do not project outward beyond the remaining areas of the outer face () of the respective side bar () when offset relative to the adjacent member. An adjusting device () provided on the adjacent member effects the aforementioned positioning of the supporting elements () depending on the relative position of the members.
