Abstract

A cable protection and guide device in which contact impact noise between adjacent side plates is dispersed. The noise is liable to occur at the time of linear position holding and at the time of flexional position restriction when cables accommodated therein are transmitted or moved from a mounting fixed end toward a mounting movable end. A number of pairs of right and left side plate units (110) are connected from a mounting fixed end to a mounting movable end and side plate unit comprises a side plate front portion (111) which is connected to a preceding side plate unit (110), a side plate rear portion (112) which is connected to a subsequent side plate unit (110), and a flexible coupling portion (113) integrally intervened between the side plate front portion (111) and the side plate rear portion (112). The side plate unit 110 includes an outer circumferential side linear position holding mechanism Xo and an outer circumferential side flexional position restricting mechanism Yo at a side plate front portion (111) on a flexional outer circumferential side rather than the coupling portion (113). The side plate also includes an inner circumferential side flexional position restricting mechanism Yi and an inner circumferential side linear position holding mechanism Xi at a side plate rear portion (112) on a flexional inner circumferential side rather than the coupling portion (113).
