Abstract
A device for guiding a long object includes links. Each link has a pair of link portions opposite to each other in a first direction. The links are coupled together while being arranged in series in a second direction. At the opposite ends of each link in a third direction, the two link portions are coupled to each other by a pair of arms. The space defined and surrounded by the link portions and the arms constitute an accommodation space for accommodating long objects. The link portions have restricting portions, which restrict pivoting motion range of link portions adjacent in the second direction. Engagement between the restricting portions of adjacent link portions restricts the pivoting motion range to a predetermined angular range. The link portions have a resistance applying portion, which applies rotational resistance.
