The invention relates to an energy guide chain (1) for cables and the like, the chain members (2) thereof comprising opposing side walls (4) and upper and lower transverse members (5) or walls connecting said side walls, and being flexibly connected to each other. The energy guide chain forms a lower, substantially linear section (lower strand 6) to which a sagging upper region (upper strand 8) is attached by means of a turnaround region (7) covering more than 180~, the lower side of the upper strand (8) sliding at least partially on the upper side of the lower strand (6). Individual chain members (2) are provided with guide stops (9) which prevent lateral movement of the opposite strand. According to the invention, the guide stops (9) are in the form of members extending in the longitudinal direction of the chain, and at least one guide stop (9) on the chain members (2) of the one strand (6 or 8) engages between two guide stops (9) on the chain members (2) of the opposite strand (8 or 6). Consequently, the engaged chain members (2) are prevented from moving transversely in relation to each other.

L'invention concerne une chaîne de guidage d'énergie (1) pour câbles et équivalent, les maillons (2) comportant des parois latérales opposées (4) ainsi que des éléments transversaux supérieur et inférieur (5) ou des parois reliant lesdites parois latérales, et étant reliés de manière articulée les uns aux autres. Cette chaîne de guidage d'énergie forme une section inférieure sensiblement linéaire (brin inférieur 6) à laquelle une région supérieure présentant une flèche (brin supérieur 8) se raccorde au moyen d'une région d'inflexion (7) couvrant plus de 180·, la face inférieure du brin supérieur (8) glissant au moins partiellement sur la face supérieure du brin inférieur (6). Certains maillons (2) de la chaîne sont dotés de butées de guidage (9) qui empêchent le mouvement latéral du brin opposé. Ces butées de guidage (9) se présentent sous la forme d'éléments s'étendant dans le sens longitudinal de la chaîne, et au moins une butée de guidage (9) sur les maillons (2) d'un brin (6 ou 8) s'engage entre deux butées de guidage (9) sur les maillons du brin (8 ou 6). Ainsi, les maillons (2) se trouvant en prise ne peuvent se déplacer transversalement les uns par rapport aux autres.
