Abstract
Provided is a bending structure and a joint function part, capable of ensuring sufficient flexibility and rigidity in an axial direction. The bending structure is provided with an outer coiled part formed of a wire wound in a coiled shape and an inner coiled part formed of a wire wound in a coiled shape and arranged in the outer coiled part, wherein the outer coiled part has a plurality of gaps to distance adjacent coils, and coils of the inner coiled part are provided so as to correspond to the gaps of the outer coiled part and fit between the adjacent coils while being in contact with the adjacent coils of the outer coiled part.
Claims4
A structure, comprising:
- a base part and a movable part configured to displace relatively to the base part;
- a wire configured to displace the movable part;
- and
- a bending structure provided between the base part and the movable part and configured to be bent according to displacement of the movable part relative to the base part;
- wherein
- the bending structure is provided with an outer coil and an inner coil located in the outer coil.
