Abstract
A remote control device is provided, which includes a control cable. The control cable includes a reinforcing wire 11 of which the both ends are fixed by anchors 14, 14, an outer casing 12 made of synthetic resin so as to be slidable to the reinforcing cable, and so as not to constrain the thermal deformation in the axial direction based on the variation of ambient temperature, and an inner cable 13 made of metal having flexibility housed in the outer casing 12 slidably. In the both ends of the inner cable, cable ends 17, 17 coupled to an operating member and an operated member are firmly fixed.
Claims9
A remote control device, comprising:
- an operating member which gives an operating force;
- a bracket of operation side;
- a control cable operated by the operating member, comprising:
- an operated member to receive the operation of the operating member through the control capable;
- and
- a bracket of operation side;
- wherein the control cable, comprising:
- a reinforcing wire made of metal, of which the both ends are to be fixed;
- an outer casing made of synthetic resin provided so as to be slidable to the reinforcing wire, and so as not to constrain the thermal deformation in the axial direction based on the variation of ambient temperature;
- and
- an inner cable made of metal having flexibility and slidably housed in the outer casing;
- wherein the both ends of the reinforcing wire of the control cable are fixed to the brackets of the operating side and the operated side,
- at least one end of the outer casing of the control cable is held slidably in the axis direction by the bracket of the operating side or the operated side, and
- the both ends of the inner cable of the control cable are coupled to the operating member and the operated member.
