DE2245215

An assembly for use in guding continuous lengths of material, the assembly being constructed of a plurality of guide members, each having an integrally formed body defining oppositely directed material guiding notches. The guide members are constructed so that the two oppositely directed notches are located in spaced parallel planes, and detailed in location relative to each other when assembled whereby one material guiding notch of one guide member is coaxially aligned with an oppositely directed material guiding notch of an adjacent guide member to define a material guiding passageway. The two aligned notches are axially spaced relative to each other to define a material threading passageway which communicates with and is angularly disposed relative to the material guiding passageway to permit a length of material to be inserted into or removed from the material guiding passageway. The guide members also include formed surfaces adapted to interlock with complementary surfaces on adjacent guide members whdn uupported in an assembled juxtapositioned relationship with each other. A channel-shaped support member is provided for supporting the guide members in transverse alignment and in juxtaposition relative to each other so that the formed surfaces are in interlocking relationship. Spacer means is operatively associated with the channel-shaped support member so that the guide members can be transversely adjusted to a selected set position and can be spaced relative to each other to permit selected guide members to be independently added or removed.
