Abstract
The invention relates to a cable guide () comprising links () that are each angle-adjustable multi-axially relative to each other and connected to each other in articulated fashion, where each link () displays an inner part () with corresponding, multi-axially angle-adjustable, articulated connectors () and a casing part () for peripheral delimitation of at least one guiding duct (), and the casing part () encompasses at least one segment (), which is connected to the inner part () by a web (), in a manner permitting it to be pivoted open for accessing the associated guiding duct () on the peripheral side. To facilitate the insertion and removal of lines, and to increase their protection, it is proposed that the casing parts () of adjacent links () overlap in the longitudinal direction (L), and that a joint arrangement () having at least two degrees of freedom be provided between the at least one segment () and the web (), by means of which the segment () is mounted in such a way that it can move outwards transversely to the longitudinal direction (L) while being pivoted open.
