Abstract
An improved cable end structure, including a guide member 5 comprising a plate-like portion 7 disposed between the cable end device b and the cushion 3, and a tubular portion 6 formed integrally with the plate-like portion 6 so that the guide member 5 may prevent the pull-cable a from contacting the cushion 3. The plate-like portion 7 is disposed between the cable end device b and the cushion 3 which allows the tubular portion 6 to be held in the cushion 3 and the tubular portion 6, in turn, prevents the pull-cable a from contacting and abrading the cushion 3.
Claims5
An improved long-life end structure of a pull-cable used to mount a cable end device on a fixture with the interposition of a cushion disposed between said cable end device and said fixture, said end structure including a guide member comprising a plate-like portion disposed between said cable end device and said cushion, and a tubular portion integrally made with said plate-like portion so that said guide member aids in preventing said pull-cable from contacting said cushion;
- whereby said cushion cannot be separated from the fixture should the cable go slack, and wherein said guide member is made of a thermoplastic elastomer having a flexural modulus of about 500 to 10,000 kgf/cm2, so that said guide member and said tubular portion when rocked with respect to each other in use, endures about 600,000 cycles of such rocked movement.
