Abstract
A tensioning device for a cable inserted through a flexible tube, in which the flexible tube is fixed at one end to a stationary member, and the cable is connected to a movable member relative to the stationary member. The tensioning device includes a socket fixed to the stationary member, a plug provided on the other end of the flexible tube, a resilient member and locking means. The socket has a space therein. In the space, the plug supports the flexible tube so as to be movable in an axial direction of the cable, and the resilient member presses the plug toward the end of the space of the socket. The locking means fastens the plug in a position where the resilient member is compressed.
