A line guide device for lines in a clean room application, comprising an elongate, flexible envelope which is displaceable to-and-fro between a first connection point and a second connection point movable relative thereto, forming a deflection arc between two runs. The envelope has at least one undoable and reclosable connection region, for insertion or removal of a line when the connection region is open. The envelope, when closed, surrounds in dust-tight manner an inner space for accommodating one or more lines. A functional material is provided within the envelope to reduce the number of free particles in the inner space. The functional material may retain operationally released particles in the inner space and/or counteract the operational release of particles in the inner space.

A wire harness routing device 11 includes a wire harness 15, a case 16 in which the wire harness 15 is accommodated and which has an opening 30 through which the wire harness 15 can be led out of or into the case, a protector 21 attached to the wire harness 15 that is led out through the opening 30, and an engagement means 22 configured to disengageably engage the case 16 and the protector 21 with each other.

A disclosed system includes (1) at least one hardware component mounted to a drawer of a chassis, (2) a fan module capable of generating airflow to cool the hardware component, and (3) an extensible airduct coupled between the hardware component and the fan module such that, when the drawer of the chassis is opened, the extensible airduct stretches out to lengthen a distance between the hardware component and the fan module and, when the drawer of the chassis is closed, the extensible airduct contracts to shorten the distance between the hardware component and the fan module. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

Systems for position determination using an energy chain for guiding supply lines, which energy chain has a movable run which is fixed at an end to a driver and a stationary run wherein the driver moves back and forth along a track. The system has a sensor device for position determination, which is attached to the driver. In one variant, the system comprises guide components, arranged along the track, for lateral guidance of the energy chain of which components at least one has a reference component acting as a position reference. In another variant of the system, at least each nth chain link of the energy chain has at least one reference component attached thereto. In both variants, the sensor device for position determination interacts with individual reference components, which allows better and more reliable determination of the current position.

It is aimed to provide a flexible exterior member for wire guide 12 including a hollow tubular portion 34 to be sheathed on a wire guide 10 bendable and deformable into a predetermined shape, a slit 36 provided over an entire length in an axial direction of the tubular portion 34, and a pair of joining portions 48, 48 respectively provided on a pair of circumferential end surfaces 50, 50 of the tubular portion 34 divided by the slit 36, the pair of joining portions 48, 48 being put together and joined to each other, and a wire guide device G using this flexible exterior member for wire guide 12.

A cable carrier has a plurality of mutually articulated chain links and a working chamber extending in the longitudinal direction of the chain. In the working chamber the at least one supply line is guided in the longitudinal direction of the chain. Each chain link is formed from two lateral elements which are opposite each other and two elongate support webs which are opposite each other. A hollow profile of the chain link is formed by the lateral elements and the support webs. At least one special chain link is provided between two chain links. The special chain link has a cross-section with a lower height than the other chain links.

A wiring harness module 20 disclosed by this specification includes a wiring harness 30 having at least one wire 32 fixed along a strip-like base member, a holding member 40 for holding a sheet-like margin portion 36 different from a part fixed to the wire 32 in the base member, and a protector 60 to be mounted on a slidable slider. The protector 60 includes an accommodating portion 62 for accommodating the holding member 40, and the accommodating portion 62 includes a front wall 74 and a back wall 75 lockable to the holding member 40 in a front-back direction.

A cable supporting device for articulated vehicles, designed for installing in an intercommunicating compartment between two adjacent cabins of an articulated vehicle, including at least one cable-holder element, defining internally at least one channel for housing at least one cable, two anchoring plates connected or connectable to respective ends of the cable-holder element and each configured for stable mounting to a different end portion of the articulated vehicle, and at least one connecting element, positioned for connecting between at least one end of the cable-holder element and the respective anchoring plate. In particular, the connecting element is configured to allow a reciprocal movement, between the respective end of the cable-holder element and the respective anchoring plate, at least about two axes of rotation which are not parallel to each other and preferably perpendicular to each other.

An integrated latching mechanism includes a slider button extending along a first direction, curved elastic arms that extend from the slider button in a second direction and then curve back in an direction opposite thereto, a locking part contiguous with the slider button and extending away from the slider button and the elastic arms in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction. In response to ends of the elastic arms being held at fixed positions and an external force urging the slider button in a direction opposite to the third direction, the locking part moves in the same direction, and the urging of the slider button distorts the elastic arms such that upon removal of the external force, the elastic arms move the slider button and the locking part in the third direction. The elastic arms, slider button, and locking part form a single piece of elastic material.
