APPARATUS FOR LAYING LINES FOR SUSPENDED APPLICATIONS, IN PARTICULAR, AS A SERVICE LOOP FOR A DRILLING RIG Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC F16L3/15 

FIELD: engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an apparatus (10) for laying lines for directing multiple lines, such as cables, hoses, etc., in particular, for suspended applications, such as, e.g., supply of a vertically moving rotary power head (3) of a drilling rig (1). The apparatus (10) for laying lines comprises a flexible carrier core (11) and multiple guide elements (14) located one after the other in the longitudinal direction of the carrier core. In accordance with the invention, adjacent guide elements (14) are configured to spatially diverge relative to each other, and each guide element has a central part (15A) with a central axis (A) extending coaxially relative to the carrier core (11), as well as an outer part (15B) with at least at least one peripheral element (17). The outer part (15B) limits the line receiving area (L), open in the axial direction, radially on the outside.

EFFECT: provided possibility of laying multiple lines for suspended applications.
