Operating device

An operating device, comprising:

• a cable having a cable end;
• a coupling member to which the cable end is coupled, the coupling member being activated when the cable is operated;
• and
• a base to which the coupling member is operably provided,
• wherein the coupling member comprises a connecting part to which the cable end is connected,
• wherein the connecting part has a coupling member-side facing surface facing a part of the cable end when the cable end is connected to the connecting part,
• wherein the coupling member-side facing surface of the coupling member is provided to the base so as to be inclined at a predetermined inclination angle with respect to a reference plane when the coupling member is in a predetermined loaded state where a predetermined load or more is applied from the cable, and the reference plane is a position of the coupling member-side facing surface in an unloaded state where no load is applied from the cable,
• wherein the cable end has a cable end-side facing surface facing the coupling member-side facing surface, and
• wherein the coupling member-side facing surface and the cable end-side facing surface are configured not to interfere with each other when the coupling member is inclined with respect to the reference plane.
