WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/080096
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A long object guiding device (11) has a plurality of links (15) connected in series in the length direction (X). The links (15) each include a pair of side plates (17) separated from each other in the width direction (Y) and facing each other. The plurality of links (15) are displaceable between a linear state and a curve state. The pair of side plates (17) of each of the links (15) each comprise: a touch portion (51) that touches an adjacent side plate when the plurality of links (15) are displaced between the linear state and the curve state; and an impact relaxation portion (55) that touches at least one of the adjacent side plate and the touch portion immediately before the touch portion (51) touches the adjacent side plate and then is elastically deformed, thereby enabling the relaxation of impact force when the adjacent side plate and the touch portion touch each other.
