HYBRID GUIDEPATH LOOP FOR LARGE CONSOLE AREAS AND, IN PARTICULAR, SEPARATOR CHEEK FOR IT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC F16G13/16 F16G15/12 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: guidepath loop contains chain links with chain plates located opposite each other in the lateral direction. The chain has two side rows of plates. Each row contains plates, which are connected together with the possibility of rotation relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, and each having the first and the second areas of overlap, and side parts made of plastic, which respectively have two end areas. The chain plates are made of a stronger or stiffer material than the sidepieces. In a part of each row of plates, successive chain plates have through holes in the first and the second overlapping areas. The through holes of the two successive plates partially overlap. In the specified part associated with each second chain plate, there is a side part, which, in its two end regions has protrusions, with which the side part interacts through both areas of overlap of the chain plate associated with it, and the side part with protrusions of each end region interacts through overlapping through holes of the mating chain plate and, respectively, of the adjacent chain plate.

EFFECT: increased loop strength.
