Abstract
When a cable support structure according to the present invention is applied to a slide door in a vehicle, a first support member (20) and a second support member (30) support one end portion and another end portion in a cable guide (1) in a state capable of swinging them in a vertical direction approximately perpendicular to a sliding direction (Q) of a slide door (SD). Accordingly, even in the case where an attitude angle of the slide door (SD) with respect to the vertical direction is changed in correspondence to the slide movement, or a vertical position is changed, it is possible to prevent an unreasonable force from being applied to the cable guide (1) on the basis of the above-described attitude or position change.
Claims5
A cable support structure for supporting a cable arranged between a first member and a second member which relatively move along a predetermined moving direction, comprising:
- a cable guide, formed by a plurality of linearly connected link members, for guiding said cable;
- a first support member, provided on said first member side, for supporting one end portion of said cable guide;
- and
- a second support member, provided on said second member side, for supporting another end portion of said cable guide, wherein
- at least one of said first support member and said second support member supports said one end portion or said another end portion of said cable guide in a state capable of swinging said cable guide in a direction approximately perpendicular to said predetermined moving direction and approximately perpendicular to a bending direction of the link members.
