Abstract
To provide a cable or the like protection and guide device in which even if link frame bodies receive torsion and deflection during a linear movement or a bending movement, a mutual connection can be reliably maintained and a connection and assembly operation for the link frame bodies is easy and a stable molding accuracy and a small cost load on a molding mold can be obtained. In a cable or the like protection and guide devicein which a large number of rectangular link frame bodieseach comprising a pair of spaced link plates, and connecting platesbridged the pair of link platesrespectively are articulately connected to each other, when said link frame bodiesare connected to each other in a linear state, a link disconnection preventing groove portionengaged with an inner circumferential side edgeof the link plateis provided on the both left and right endsof the connecting plate bridged over the bending inner circumferential side of said link frame body, respectively, and when said link frame bodiesare connected to each other in a bending state, a link disconnection preventing cutaway portionengaged with an inner circumferential side edgeof the link plateis provided on the both left and right endsof the connecting plate bridged over the bending inner circumferential side of said link frame body, respectively.
