Cable supporting device

A cable supporting device for supporting a cable arranged between a vehicle body and a movable member movably connected to the vehicle body, comprising:

• a guide member including a frame body having a three-dimensional surface on the outer surface thereof;
• and
• a supporting member for rotatably tightly holding the arcuate surface of the guide member, the supporting member being fixed to the vehicle body and/or the movable member,
• wherein:
• the frame body of the guide member includes a first opening and a second opening communicating with a hollow portion thereof and used for the insertion of the cable, a tubular portion projecting from the peripheral edge of the first opening and a round tubular or cylindrical rotational angle restricting portion projecting from the outer circumferential surface of the frame body while being spaced apart by a required angle from the tubular portion,
• whereas the supporting member includes a contact portion engageable with the rotational angle restricting portion and at least either one of facing surfaces of the contact portion and the rotational angle restricting portion is an inclined surface, and
• the cable is inserted into the second opening from the first opening of the guide member through the hollowing portion, the changing rotational angle of the cable in transverse direction is restricted by bringing the tubular portion of the guide member into contact with the peripheral edge of the opening of the supporting member, whereas angular changes in vertical and oblique directions are restricted to required angles by bringing the rotational angle restricting portion of the guide member and the contact portion of the supporting member into contact.
