Abstract:
1. A low noise cable protection and guide in which a number of link frame bodies are articulably connected to each other with a cable inserted therein, each of said link frame bodies being connected to an adjacent link frame body, each link frame body comprises a pair of link plates disposed on both sides of the cable, each link plate includes a front portion and a rear portion, each said link plate includes a bending outer circumferential side and a bending inner circumferential side, each front portion of each said link plate includes an outside surface and a connecting pin protruding therefrom, each rear portion of each said link plate includes an inside surface and a pin hole therethrough, each of said outside surfaces of each of said link bodies being rotatably hinged by said pins to said pin holes of said inside surfaces of said adjacent link frame body, and connecting rods respectively spanned across said bending outer circumferential side and said bending inner circumferential side of each of said link plates, characterized in that: each said outside surface of said link plates includes a braking protrusion and a stopper, said stopper includes a first inclined plane, each said inside surface of each of said link plates includes a braking surface, said braking surface includes a second inclined plane, each said inside surface of each of said link plates includes a recess therein, said second inclined plane of said braking surface of said inside surface slidingly engages said braking protrusion of said outside surface of an adjacent link plate until said braking protrusion of said outside surface engages said recess and said first inclined plane of said stopper engages said second inclined plane of said braking surface so that the rotation of connected link frame bodies is restricted.
