Abstract:
A McKibben artificial muscle  1 , that can be improved durability in an end portion, includes an elastic tube  10  and a braided tube  20 . The elastic tube  10  is a hollow-and-cylindrical elastic body. The braided tube  20  that is constituted by circular-knitted threads with a predetermined knitting angle twisted over a periphery of the elastic tube  10  in a movable manner. The braided tube  20  has a contraction portion  21  and a restriction portion  22 . The braided tube  20  in the contraction portion  21  is circularly-knitted with a knitting angle that enables the elastic tube to expand radially and contract in a length direction so as to obtain contraction force. The braided tube  20  in the restriction portion  22  is circularly-knitted with a knitting angle that suppresses radial expansion adjacent to an end portion  11  of the elastic tube  10.

Claim (Index 5):
The McKibben artificial muscle according to  claim 1 , in which the braided tube has a marker for marking a portion of the restriction portion to be cut in a case where the contraction portion and the restriction portion are successively alternately provided.
