Abstract
To provide a cable and/or the like supporting and guiding device, by which a cable and/or the like can be easily incorporated into a chain and damage of the cable and/or the like and an accident of break in a cable can be minimized. A cable and/or the like supporting and guiding device comprises a chain (CH), a cable and/or the like (CB) disposed along the chain, and a support (), which intersects the chain to support the cable and/or the like disposed on the chain. The support is composed of a material, which is flexed in the longitudinal direction of the cable and/or the like. In a curved section of the chain, when force is applied to the cable and/or the like, the support is flexed or bent in a direction of an action of force to ensure a length of the cable and/or the like, which is required for bending.
