Abstract: The present invention provides a cable or the like protection and guide device which accommodates a cable or the like while allowing for examination of the cable. Smooth linear and flexional movement is achieved while not compromising the form stability of the cable accommodation space. Partial or local wear is suppressed. The device is made of a synthetic resin and accommodates a cable in a rectangular cable accommodating space. The accommodating space is surrounded by the outer circumferential wall portion, which is openable, a pair of side wall portions, and an inner circumferential wall portion. Inserting protrusion mechanisms, engagement mechanisms, slits, opening windows and flexion restricting piece portions contribute to the stability and usefulness of the device.

Abstract: A folding assembly type cable protection and guide device is provided in which a cable is accommodated into a cable accommodating space. The cable protection and guide device can be easily manufactured by extrusion molding without requiring different metal molds to accommodate different size cables. Assembly is simplified. Dimensional stability of the cable accommodating space is ensured during both linear and flexion movement which provides smooth linear and flexion movement of the device. The long body cable accommodating space is a rectangularly shaped space surrounded by a synthetic resin film tape. The synthetic resin film tape is assembled through a plurality of folding V grooves which extend along a longitudinal direction of the tape to allow for repeated linear and flexion movement.

Abstract: Shoes having wear indicators are mounted on inner circumferential sides of side link plates of link frame bodies. The link frame bodies are interconnected longitudinally to form a cable protection and guide device. During operation, the device folds back upon itself such that the shoes of some of the link frame bodies slidingly engage the shoes of other link frame bodies. The indicator may be a groove, may employ a two color resin, may be a metal plate and may be positioned and sized to provide caution and limit indications as desired.

Abstract: Breakage in a coupling portion of a side plate subjected to repeated flexure is prevented by using fatigue resistant resin materials in the side plate.
