Abstract
A cable or the like protection and guide device is provided which can flexibly follow the movement of a cable or the like, which generates a difference of a flexion arc portion between the flexion inner circumferential side and the outer circumferential side in a cable accommodating space during flexion so that excellent wear resistance can be exhibited and which can realize a simple incorporation in a simple sandwiching structure. The present invention relates to a cable or the like protection and guide device. In this cable or the like protection and guide device, link frame bodiesrespectively bridging connecting platesandon a flexion inner circumferential side and on a flexion outer circumferential side of a pair of link platesandare flexibly connected to each other in large number, and a cable holding memberbridged between the link platesandincludes a hollow cable sandwiching portion, which holds a cable or the like C while extending in a cable accommodating space R, and a hollow connecting plate mounting portion, which mounts the cable sandwiching portiononto a connecting portion along the bridge direction.
