LINK PLATE, CHAIN LINK, ENERGY GUIDING CHAIN, AND INTERMEDIATE PIECE FOR AN ENERGY GUIDING CHAIN, PROVIDED WITH LOCKING MEANS COUPLED BY TORSION FOR CONNECTING A FLIGHT TO A LINK PLATE

摘要

The aim of the invention is to simplify the creation of a connection between a flight (14) and a link plate for a chain link (1) of an energy guiding chain. To this end, the link plate comprises a fixing means (4) that is defined in such a way as to detachably connect the link plate to a flight. Said fixing means comprises at least one locking means (5). Furthermore, at least one torsion element (6) is provided. Said torsion element is coupled to the fixing means and to a wall of the link plate in such a way that it can be deflected essentially about a longitudinal axis of the link plate. According to the invention, the at least one torsion element is essentially twisted about a longitudinal axis of the link plate, at least in order to release a flight. The inventive embodiment of a link plate enables a secure and reliable connection to be created between the link plate and a flight.
