Abstract
Claims
[1] Device for fastening a cable guide chain (70) comprising a plurality of articulated chain links (71) to a piece of furniture or part of a piece of furniture, the device comprising: a first section (10) with a receptacle (12) which is designed to be fastened to a chain link (71) of the cable guide chain (70), a second section (20) with a fastening device (24), wherein the device can be fastened directly to the piece of furniture or part of the piece of furniture without tools by means of the fastening device (24), and wherein the fastening device (24) has at least one fastening strap (25) that can be coupled to the piece of furniture or part of the piece of furniture and / or at least one magnet (28) that can be coupled to the piece of furniture or part of the piece of furniture. [2] Device according to claim 1, characterized bythat the chain links (71) are articulated to one another via connecting bodies and that the receptacle (12) of the device can be coupled to a connecting body of a chain link (71). [3] Device according to claim 1, characterized by that the receptacle (12) of the device can be coupled to a casing body of a chain link (71). [4] Device according to one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the receptacle (12) is designed such that the cable guide chain (70) can be fastened therein without tools. [5] Device according to one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the piece of furniture or part of the piece of furniture is a table leg and the receptacle (12) is designed such that the cable guide chain (70) is guided in the vertical direction when the device is fastened to the table leg (T). [6] Device according to claim 5, wherein the fastening strap (25) is provided such that it extends around the table leg (T) when the device is fastened to the table leg (T). [7] Device according to claim 5 or 6, wherein the fastening strap (25) has a hook and loop fastener (26). [8] Device according to one of claims 6 to 8, wherein: the first section (10) is rigid, the second section (20) has a first side (21) which rests against the table leg (T) when the device is attached thereto, and an opposite second side (22), at which the first section (10) extends away from the second section (20), and the first side (21) has a curved contact surface (23). [9] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the second portion (20) is made of a more elastic material than the first portion (10). [10] Device according to claim 9, characterized by that the second section is made of an elastomer, silicone or polypropylene. [11] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the second portion (20) has at least one film hinge (33). [12] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the second section (20) has one or more belt receptacles (27A, 27B, 27C, 27D) through which the fastening belt (25) is guided. [13] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the second section (20) has at least one magnet receptacle (29) in which at least one magnet (28) is arranged, wherein the magnet receptacle (29) spaces the magnet (28) from the first side (21) and prevents contact between the magnet (28) and the piece of furniture or part of the piece of furniture when the device is attached to the piece of furniture or part of the piece of furniture.
