Abstract
Abstract A flexible hose is attached at longitudinally spaced points to a link chain by a plurality of clips, so that the hose is carried by the chain, as for example, around a sprocket. The hose is coplanar with the chain and located at the outside of the chain in relation to passage of the chain around the sprocket. Each clip is substantially U-shaped and includes a hose embracing bight portion with a pair of leg portions which are in supporting engagement with transversely spaced link members of the chain. The arrangement is particularly suitable for use on fork lift trucks having a chain actuated carriage with a hydraulically actuated device for moving the forks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
The combination of a chain which passes around a rotatable sprocket and includes a plurality of links pivotally connected together with each link including a pair of transversely spaced link members having inner and outer edges with respect to passage of the chain around the sprocket, a flexible hose juxtaposed to said chain in coplanar relation therewith and located at the outer edges of said link members, and a plurality of clips attaching said flexible hose at longitudinally spaced points to said chain, each of said clips being substantially U-shaped and including a bight portion and a pair of leg portions, said leg portions being in supporting engagement with the respective link members and said bight portion extending transversely of the chain from the outer edges of the link members and embracing said flexible hose.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
The combination of a chain which passes around a rotatable sprocket and includes a plurality of links pivotally connected together with each link including a pair of transversely spaced link members having inner and outer edges with respect to passage of the chain around the sprocket, a flexible hose juxtaposed to said chain in coplanar relation therewith and located at the outer edges of said link members, and a plurality of clips attaching said flexible hose at longitudinally spaced points to said chain, each of said clips being substantially U-shaped and including a bight portion and a pair of leg portions, said leg portions being in supporting engagement with the respective link members and said bight portion extending transversely of the chain from the outer edges of the link members and embracing said flexible hose.
