Abstract
The invention relates to a line guide () for protecting at least one line, such as a cable, a hose, or the like for example, for supplying a motor vehicle seat for example. A longitudinal portion with multiple segments () of the line guide is produced as a single piece, and each of the multiple segments has a closable holder () for the at least one line. Thus, the line can be positioned in a receiving area () when the holder is open and is held transversely to the longitudinal direction (L) in the closed position of the holder. The segments are connected together in the longitudinal direction so as to form an elbow () by means of a flexible connection. The invention is characterized in that the connection between the segments comprises a first flexible section () and a second flexible section (), and at least one transverse connector () is provided which is produced integrally with the sections and which runs about the longitudinal direction (L) in an arc- or bracket-like manner in the closed position of the holder so that the two sections () lie laterally relative to the receiving area and specify a neutral axis which crosses the receiving area ().
