A telescopic device includes an expandable tubular structure and an inner-side guide member disposed inside the tubular structure. The tubular structure includes an outer belt and an inner belt. The outer belt and the inner belt each have a plurality of first protrusions and holes arranged in a row in the longitudinal direction. The inner-side guide member has a first spiral groove extending along the plurality of first protrusions. When the inner-side guide member rotates in one direction, the outer belt and the inner belt are sent out, so that they are spirally wound while being engaged with each other, and the tubular structure extends. The first spiral groove has a body and an end portion extending from the body toward the root of the inner-side guide member. The distance between the end portion of the first spiral groove and the main part of the first spiral groove is small.
