Abstract
A protective guide internally holds long members including at least one of flexible cable and duct to move in harmonization with the movement needed by the long members. The guide includes a flexible long plate-shaped base made of a synthetic resin and having a longitudinal direction, flexible sectioning members made of a synthetic resin, and two brackets. The sectioning members uprise from ends of the base, spaced apart from each other by gaps in the longitudinal direction, the ends facing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and cooperatively define a space for accommodating the long members along the base. The brackets detachably connect ends of the base to fixed and movable members of a machine installing the guide. Each bracket has a first engaging means detachably engaging the bracket with the gaps and a second engaging means detachably connecting the bracket to the fixed or movable member.
