ABSTRACT:
A cable handling chain link assembly comprising: a chain link; and a releasably connectable cable retention device; the link having an open sided cable compartment defined between an upper wall, a lower wall, and a partition extending between the upper and lower walls; the partition being located inboard from side edges of the upper and lower walls, the side edges defining the open side of the compartment; the partition including an aperture adjacent to an inside face of one of said walls through which the cable retention device extends; the cable retention device being a unitary member of generally elongate form having a main body from which longitudinally extends a resilient tongue formation having detent means for co-operation with the chain link to restrain withdrawal of the retention device in a longitudinal direction of the retention device; the resilient tongue formation co-operating with said inside face and a wall of said aperture opposed to said inside face to resiliently urge said detent means into contact with said link; the main body having a lateral projection extending laterally away from said inside face toward the wall opposite said one wall, said lateral projection acting to retain cables within said compartment, the main body and said one wall including co-operating latch formations which inter-engage on longitudinal insertion of the retention device to prevent separation of the main body away from said inside face.
