Abstract
A bending strain relief device in the form of an elongated tubular member having a longitudinal axis and including a plurality of rigid sleeve members positioned one after another along the axis. The sleeve members are connected together only by elastomeric material which deforms and flows elastically during relative angular movement between adjacent sleeve members for imparting curvature to the tubular member. Adjacent sleeve members have cooperating surfaces which interfere with each other to effectively limit the maximum degree of relative angular movement and thereby limit the degree of curvature which can be imparted to the tubular member.
