Abstract:
1. A cable protection and guide device, comprising: an integral extrusion made of a synthetic resin; said integral extrusion includes a plurality of right side wall portions, a plurality of left side wall portions, an inner circumferential wall, and a plurality of outer circumferential wall portions which form a cable accommodating space; said inner circumferential wall connects said right side wall portions and said left side wall portions; said right and left side wall portions are articulately and integrally connected to each other in a longitudinal direction enabling said right and left side wall portions to form a flexional circumferential bend having a flexional inner circumferential side and a flexional outer circumferential side; each of said side wall portions includes a flexional inner circumferential side residing during bending on said flexional inner circumferential side of said bend; each of said side wall portions includes a flexional outer circumferential side residing during bending on said flexional outer circumferential side of said bend; said outer circumferential wall portions are integrally formed on said flexional outer circumferential side of said right side wall portions; said outer circumferential wall portions are openable; said outer circumferential wall portions detachably engage said left side wall portions; said integral extrusion includes a plurality of slits; said plurality of slits are in said outer circumferential wall portions, said right side wall portions, and said left side wall portions; said plurality of slits in said outer circumferential wall portions separate said outer circumferential wall portions; said plurality of slits in said right side wall portions separate said right side wall portions; said plurality of slits in said left side wall portions separate said left side wall portions; said right side wall portions and said left side wall portions each include a flexion restricting portion on said inner circumferential sides thereof; said plurality of slits in said right side wall portions and said plurality of slits in said left side wall portions form a flexion angle; said flexion restricting portion of each of said right sidewall portions and said flexion restricting portion of each of said left side wall portions restricts said flexion angle during bending; said plurality of slits in said outer circumferential wall portions form a concave engagement mechanism portion and a convex engagement mechanism portion; and, said concave engagement mechanism portions and said convex engagement mechanism portions of said outer circumferential wall portions prohibiting lateral shifting of said device.
