Abstract
An endlessly circulating link conveyor with energy supply from a stationary source comprises a plurality of links () that are connected to one another such that they can pivot with respect to one another, jointly form a link conveyor that follows a running path over deflection rollers () and can be driven in circulating fashion, an energy guiding chain (), one end of which travels with the link conveyor and the other end of which is arranged in rotating fashion within the circulatory path, and via which the link conveyor can be connected to supply lines (), where the links () of the link conveyor display a channel () for receiving distribution lines () and, laterally next to the channel, a guide groove () for guiding the energy guiding chain (), where the upper face of at least one of the links () displays a mounting surface for consumers, and one of the links () is equipped for connecting the travelling end () of the energy guiding chain ().
