Abstract
A bend restrictor prevents an elongated member from reaching a bending radius less than an allowable bending radius of the elongated member. A connecting arrangement is positioned at an end portion of the bend restrictor and is provided to engage the elongated member in a fixed manner. The bend restrictor has an essentially open faced contact area including a longitudinal extent providing support for the elongated member in its longitudinal direction and a transverse extent providing support for the elongated member in its transverse direction. The bend restrictor has a retainer arranged for the bend restrictor to follow the longitudinal bending of the elongated member. The bend restrictor includes plural bend restrictor sections where two and two bend restrictor sections are connected in a hinged joint arranged for allowing angular displacement to occur within a preset range as a response to the longitudinal bending of the elongated member.
