Abstract:
Joint coupling links of robot arm to each other includes: plurality of plate-shaped segments lined up in plate thickness direction; and operating wires extending through plurality of segments in plate thickness direction. Groove extending in second direction and having partially circular cross section is provided at first-direction middle portion of main surface out of two main surfaces of adjacent segments, two main surfaces facing each other in plate thickness direction. Projection extending in second direction and having partially circular cross section is provided at first-direction middle portion of main surface. Curvature of projection is larger than curvature of groove. Projection is fitted in groove, and bottom portion of groove and top portion of projection contact each other. Dimension of projection in plate thickness direction is larger than dimension of groove in plate thickness direction and smaller than length of line connecting bottom portion of groove and edge portion of groove.

Claim (Index 1):
A joint of a robot arm, the joint coupling links of the robot arm to each other,\n the joint comprising: a plurality of plate-shaped segments lined up in a plate thickness direction; and an operating wire extending through the plurality of segments in the plate thickness direction at both first-direction sides of first-direction middle portions of the plurality of segments, the first direction being perpendicular to the plate thickness direction, wherein: a groove having a partially circular cross section and extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is provided at a first-direction middle portion of one of two main surfaces of the adjacent segments, the two main surfaces facing each other in the plate thickness direction; a projection having a partially circular cross section and extending in the second direction is provided at a first-direction middle portion of the other of the two main surfaces; a curvature of a cross-sectional shape of the projection is larger than a curvature of a cross-sectional shape of the groove; the projection is fitted in the groove, and a bottom portion of the groove and a top portion of the projection contact each other; and a dimension of the projection in the plate thickness direction is larger than a dimension of the groove in the plate thickness direction and smaller than a length of a line connecting the bottom portion of the groove and an edge portion of the groove.
