Abstract
A wire guide device A includes a wire guide body 15 that is formed by coupling a plurality of link members 17 in series such that the link members 17 can rotate relative to each other, and inside which an accommodation space 16 for a wire W is formed. The link member 17 includes a link body 20 and a lid 31. The link body 20 is provided with an opening 29 through which the accommodation space 16 is open toward the outside of the wire guide body 15. The lid 31 is locked to the link body 20 and thereby closes the opening 29. The openings 29 and the lids 31 are arranged on surfaces of the link members 17 that are located on an inner side of a curved portion of the wire guide body 15 when the wire guide body 15 is curved.
