Abstract:
A rigidifiable flexible device includes a flexible member having flexibility, a plurality of movable members arranged in a line on a path between one end and the other end of the flexible member along a longitudinal direction of the flexible member, the movable members being movable on the path, a stopper provided at the one end of the flexible member and configured to prevent the movable members from being removed from the path beyond the one end of the flexible member, and a blocking member configured to prevent the movable members from being removed from the path beyond the other end of the flexible member. The length of a portion of the path between the blocking member and the stopper is adjustable so that the movable members are brought into close contact with each other on the path to form an integrated support body.

Claim (Index 19):
The device of  claim 13 , further comprising:\n a non-moving member fixed at a predetermined position in the flexible body and having a through hole through which the wire extends, the through hole having such a size that the movable members cannot pass through the through hole; and a second stopper fixed at a predetermined position on the wire between the blocking member and the non-moving member, the second stopper having such a size that the second stopper cannot pass through the through holes of the movable members and the through hole of the non-moving member, wherein some of the movable members are present between the blocking member and the second stopper on the wire, and the remaining movable members are present between the non-moving member and the stopper on the wire.
