摘要

A bending device has a simplified construction for bending a bending portion (3). A wire (119 is disposed in opposed relation to a manipulation hole (16) formed in a body (1). When the finger is inserted into the manipulation hole to press the wire in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the wire, the wire is pulled to bend the bending portion. Instead of the wire, an operating member (12, 20) can be disposed in opposed relation to the manipulating hole (16), in which case a manipulating force of the finger is converted through the operating member into a force to pull the wire. The operating member (41, 51, 61, 71, 81, 91) operatively connected to the wire may be of the type slidably supported on the body, and may be of the type integrally connected to the body through a neck portion (52, 62, 72, 82, 92).
