ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a flexible, rolling track assembly (12) that carries and keeps aligned various flexible conductors, as exemplied by electrical, coolant and hydraulic lines, extending between locations (13,14) associated with a machine (15) that is movable along guides or rails whereby the relative spacing between the locations (13,14) is constantly changing by increasing or decreasing as the machine (15) travels along the guides or rails; and more particularly, the invention concerns a structure arrangement (10,11) that functions as a self-erecting support for the track assembly (12) as the portion of the track assembly (12) to which the structure (10,11) is connected rolls upwardly to an elevated position, while vice-versa, the structure arrangement (10,11) functions as a self-retracting track assembly support as the portion of the track assembly (12) to which the structure is connected rolls downwardly to a retracted position.
