Abstract
Disclosed is an articulated cable chainthat has a flat spring that initiates a first folding curve that holds the articulated cable chainin a tight radius. Once the first folding curveis properly initiated, the remaining folding curves in the articulated cable chainare folded at the proper locations and have a small radii, even though the cable within the articulated cable chain tends to cause the cable chain to maintain a straighter configuration.
