Patent ID: 7677024

Claim:
A cable protection and guide device, comprising: a plurality of spaced side plates articulately connected to each other in a longitudinal direction enabling said side plates to form a flexional circumferential bend having a flexional inner circumferential side and flexional outer circumferential side; each of said side plates includes a flexional inner circumferential side residing during bending on said flexional inner circumferential side of said bend; each of said side plates includes an outer circumferential side residing during bending on said outer flexional circumferential side of said bend; connecting arms are integrally formed with said plates and are bridged over said bending inner circumferential side of said side plates at predetermined intervals; opening/closing arms are integrally formed with said plates and are bridged over said bending outer circumferential side of said side plates at predetermined intervals; a cable is accommodated in a cable accommodating space surrounded by said side plates and said connecting arms; coupling portions are interposed between said side plates interconnecting said side plates together; stopper links; said side plates, said interposed coupling portions, said connecting arms, said stopper links and said opening/closing arms form first and second comb teeth-shaped connecting link units; said first comb teeth-shaped connecting link units interengage oppositely oriented said second comb teeth-shaped connecting link units; said stopper links of said first comb teeth-shaped connecting link unit interengaging said coupling portions of said second comb teeth-shaped connecting link units, said stopper links of said second comb teeth-shaped connecting link units interengaging said coupling portions of said first comb teeth-shaped connecting link unit; and, said stopper links limit the bending angle of the device.
