Abstract: In a protective frame articulated body, a range of an connection angle between the protective frame body and the adjacent protective frame body is determined such that a plurality of protective frame bodies, being connected in series, through which a body to be protected is passed becomes a shape having a first bent portion, an intermediate linear portion being in a portion closer to a movable-side connection than the first bent portion, a suspending portion hanging from the movable-side connection, and a second bent portion connecting the intermediate linear portion and the suspending portion. In intermediate linear portion, a long-and-short ratio being a value obtained by dividing a long side of a smallest rectangle surrounding the protective frame body viewed from a side by a short side of the smallest rectangle is greater than or equal to a determined intermediate minimum long-and-short ratio.

Abstract: A support apparatus includes: a protective frame connected body to hold a plurality of protection targets flexibly, each protection target being a flexible cable or pipe having one end connected to a fixed-side member and the other end connected to a movable-side member that moves relative to the fixed-side member, the protective frame connected body having a bending portion bent in a middle, an upper side and a lower side of the protective frame connected body overlapped vertically; a lower supporter to support the lower side of the protective frame connected body; and a plurality of upper supporters, each of the plurality of upper supporters supporting the upper side of the protective frame connected body at a predetermined position of the protective frame connected body and being moved by movement of the movable-side member to pass the bending portion without being in contact with the bending portion.

Abstract: A structure includes: a first portion including a first front surface and a first rear surface that faces opposite to the first front surface; a second portion including a second front surface that faces opposite to the first front surface, and a second rear surface that faces opposite to the second front surface; a support portion that supports the first portion and the second portion; a first film formed on the first front surface; a second film formed on the first rear surface; and a third film (an eighth film, a ninth film and a tenth film) formed on at least a part of a surface of the support portion. A thermal emissivity of the first film is higher than thermal emissivities of the second film, the eighth film, the ninth film, and the tenth film.
