Abstract
A chain cable retainer includes a plurality of same-size link members made of a resilient material and connected to each other in a longitudinal direction to form a flexible guide for guiding a cable. Each member includes a bottom plate and a pair of side plates integrally attached to the bottom plate. The pair of side plates includes a pair of front, outside plates and a pair of rear, inside plates integrally connected to the respective ends of the outside plates. The inside plates are provided with projections and outside plates are provided with holes engaged with the projections, in such a manner that a link member can be pivotably engaged with respect to an adjacent link member. A low-rigidity part, such as a longitudinal groove, is provided on each of the side plates, so that the pair of inside plates can easily be inserted into the pair of outside plates to allow the projections to engage with the holes.
