Abstract
In a cable connection structure in which a roughly spherical cable end disposed at the tip of an inner wire is connected to a movable member, the movable member is provided with a pair of wing pieces that hold the inner wire, a cable insertion opening that guides the cable end to a space between the wing pieces, and a roughly elliptical cable end passage part that displaceably supports the cable end. The long axis of the roughly elliptical shape of the cable end passage part roughly coincides with the direction of insertion of the cable.
Claims19
A cable connection structure to a movable member, for connecting a cable end provided at a leading end of an inner wire to the movable member,
- the movable member comprising:
- a pair of wing pieces that face each other in an interval allowing insertion of the inner wire and hold the inner wire;
- a cable introduction opening for guiding the cable end between the wing pieces;
- an inner wire insertion area, formed between the pair of wing pieces, that includes a culvert-shaped extending portion that restricts detachment of the inner wire from the inner wire insertion area;
- a substantially elliptical cable end passing part that supports the cable end in a rotatable and displaceable manner;
- and
- a pivot,
- wherein a long axis of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part substantially coincides with a direction in which a tensile force of a returning force is loaded to the cable end,
- wherein the moveable member pivots at the pivot with respect to a handle base,
- wherein a longitudinal direction of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part is a first direction,
- wherein a short direction of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part is a second direction,
- wherein a third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, and
- wherein when the cable end is positioned in an extending portion of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part, a tip of the cable end is covered with a cover in the third direction.

- an inner wire insertion area, formed between the pair of wing pieces, that includes a culvert-shaped extending portion that restricts detachment of the inner wire from the inner wire insertion area;
- a substantially elliptical cable end passing part that supports the cable end in a rotatable and displaceable manner when the cable end is completely disposed within the elliptical boundary of the elliptical cable end passing part,
- wherein a long axis of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part substantially coincides with a direction in which a tensile force or a returning force is loaded to the cable end,
- wherein a longitudinal direction of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part is a first direction,
- wherein a short direction of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part is a second direction,
- wherein a third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, and
- wherein when the cable end is positioned in an extending portion of the substantially elliptical cable end passing part, a tip of the cable end is covered with a cover in the third direction.
