Abstract

A cable or the like protection and guide device is provided in which a partitioning shelf plate member can be easily attached and detached and the damage of the cover of the cables or the like and the dropping of the shelf plate member can be prevented. In a cables or the like protection and guide device (100) in which partitioning wall formation members (130), which sort the cables or the like C in said cables or the like accommodation space R into right and left and a partitioning shelf plate member (120), which sorts the cables or the like C in said cables or the like accommodation space R into a bending inner circumferential side and a bending outer circumferential side are detachably attached to each other, the partitioning wall formation member (130) includes a plurality of shelf mounting protrusions (133), arranged in multi-steps in a non-contact state with the cables or the like C and forming a part of a partitioning wall surface, and said partitioning shelf plate member 120 includes protrusion engaging adapters (122), which engage with said shelf mounting protrusions (133) on longitudinal both ends of the partitioning shelf plate member.

Claims3

Dependent claims

A cable protection and guide device comprising a number of link frame bodies each having a frame with a rectangularly shaped cross-section;

each link frame body includes a pair of left and right link plates;
each link plate includes a bending inner and outer portion;
connecting plates bridged over said bending inner and outer circumferential portions of said right and left link plates;
said link plates are flexibly connected to each other with connecting pins and connecting pin holes provided in said link plates;
said link frame bodies form a cable accommodation space where inserted cables are guided;
partitioning wall formation members;
said partitioning wall formation members separate said cable accommodation space into right and left spaces;
a partitioning shelf plate member, said partitioning shelf plate member separates said cable accommodation space into a bending inner circumferential portion and a bending outer circumferential portion;
characterized in that
each of said partitioning wall formation members include a plurality of shelf mounting protrusions;
said shelf mounting protrusions are arranged in multiple steps not engaging said cables;
said shelf mounting protrusions form a part of a wall surface of said partitioning wall formation member, each of said partitioning shelf plate members include longitudinal ends;
each of said longitudinal ends of said partitioning shelf plate members include an adapter;
each of said shelf mounting protrusions of said partioning wall formation members includes a convex portion;
each of said adapters include a concave portion;
and, each of said concave portions of said adapters interfits a respective convex portion of each said shelf mounting protrusion to prevent disengagement of said partioning shelf plate members from said partitioning wall formation members.
