Abstract: The invention provides a cable protection and guide apparatus allowing a protecting and guiding apparatus to be downsized by reducing a radius of a polygonal bend formed when link plates are bent back in a cable longitudinal direction between a cable stationary end and a cable mobile end and achieving smooth relative movements of shoes that face with each other between the upper and lower cable-bend inner circumferential sides by easing impact energy and impact sound of the shoes. The shoes provided on the cable-bend inner circumferential sides of the pair of link plates laterally and separately disposed have slidable-contact portions having parallelogram slidable-contact surfaces configured to face to and to mutually slidably contact with each other between upper and lower cable-bend inner circumferential sides.

Abstract: The invention provides a cable protection and guide device that steadily protects and guides a cable by rigidly anchoring and preventing a connecting arm from being disengaged upwardly. The device smoothly flexes and reduces torsional deformation. The hinged connecting arm extends across the flexional outer peripheral side of a pair of spaced apart right and left link plates and has a hook portion at one end of an arm body and a hinge portion at another end. An engaging circular arc portion of the hook portion engages with an engaging shaft of the link plate. Engaging projecting portions extend from the edge of the engaging circular arc portion and interengage with engaging step portions provided on the engaging shaft.

Abstract: The invention provides a cable protecting and guiding device with a reduced radius of flexion formed when the device is bent back in a cable longitudinal direction between cable fixing and moving ends and which attains a smooth movement by continuously sliding along slidable-contact bottom portions of shoes disposed on upper and lower parts of the flexed cable inner peripheral side. A slidable-contact bottom portion of a shoe provided on the flexed cable inner peripheral side of a pair of link plates disposed apart in the lateral direction has a parallelogram slidable-contact bottom surface that slidably contacts between upper and lower shoes on the flexed cable inner peripheral side.

Abstract: A cable protection and guide device in which wear damage in mounting portions of a mounting bracket is avoided and the mounting bracket is reliably and strongly mounted so that the cable is smoothly protected and guided. The mounting operation of the bracket is easy. A cable protection and guide device includes a mounting bracket having a mounting hole which surrounds and accommodates a tap bolt. A threaded portion 162 of the tap bolt includes a metallic bush 170 and the length H1 of the metallic bush 170 in a bolt inserting direction is shorter than the length H2 of the mounting hole 143 in a bolt inserting direction.

Abstract: A tube type cable protection and guide device in which the device can be easily manufactured by extrusion molding without changing the size of a mold so that devices of different lengths can be made. Smooth linear and flexional movements can be made while sufficiently ensuring dimensional stability and torsional rigidity of the device thus assuring stability of the cable accommodating space. A tube type cable protection and guide device includes integrally molded inner circumferential wall forming portions. The inner wall forming portions are interdigitatedly fitted in a male-female relationship in a longitudinal direction of the sheet forming a flush inner flat surface.

Abstract: A cable protection and guide device comprising a number of pairs of right and left spaced side plates articulately connected to each other in a longitudinal direction wherein the plates are identical and interchangeable. Each of the link plates includes an arc shaped concavity, a convex portion and, the convex portion of the next adjacent link plate interengages the arc shaped concavity of the link plate. The arc shaped concavity includes a warp limiting lock groove and the convex portion includes an arc-shaped warp limiting lock piece The arc-shaped warp limiting lock piece of the convex portion interengages the arc-shaped warp-up limiting groove of the arc shaped concavity of link plate so that the warping of the link plates is substantially eliminated. The manufacturing cost for a single link plate used in a cable protection and guide device is reduced by half.
