Zusammenfassung:This invention provides a flexible support and guide device for cable to prevent it from bending or twisting horizontally while moving. The bending and twisting will be confined even in distant movement. A flexible support and guide device (1) includes a movable cable holder (4) wound around a pair of pulleys (2, 2) bendable supported on opposite ends of a support rod (3). The cable holder is comprised of a looped belt (6) trained around the pulleys, and a pair of flexible tubes (7, 7) carried on an outer circumferential surface of the belt with ends of the tubes confronting each other mutually, the tubes accommodating within them cables (8). The cable holder has a movable end (11) formed jointly by one pair of mutually confronting ends of the two tubes for enabling connection of the cables to a mobile machine or a movable machine part. A fixed end (12) formed jointly by the other pair of mutually confronting ends of the tubes for enabling connection of the cables to a fixed external power source.
