Abstract

An improved cable or the like protection and guide device in which static electricity can be surely escaped and the device can be produced at a reduced cost is disclosed. A cable or the like protection and guide device of the present invention includes a plurality of link bodies (11) articulably connected to each other in the longitudinal direction in a state where a cable or the like (10) was inserted into the device. The link body includes a pair of side plates (21) disposed on both sides of the cable or the like and composed of a conductive synthetic resin. And a linear position and bend position are limited by bend angle limiting means provided on a portion in a side plate, which contacts a side plate of the adjacent link body and a corresponding portion of the side plate of the adjacent link body. The bend angle limiting means comprises a protrusion (31, 35) provided in each side plate and a recess (32, 33) provided on another link body, and is formed of a metallic plate (41) in which one of the protrusion and the recess is laminated on the side plate and which contacts a side plate of the adjacent link body.
