Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To make it possible to freely adjust the length of the control cable even though it is a small adjustment unit. [Structure] A tubular cable outer 2 having a control cable 1 inserted therethrough is fixedly attached to a bracket 3, and a stopper 5 fixed to the tip of the control cable 1 is provided with a through hole 7 for guiding the control cable 1 forward and backward. And a screw 11 for pressing the tightening plate 9 accommodated in the through hole 7 from the side surface of the control cable 1.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a length adjusting mechanism for a mounting portion of a vehicle control cable.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a control cable for a vehicle, for example, a cable length adjusting mechanism for a side brake, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-141564.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cable outer 2 having the control cable 1 inserted therein is attached to the bracket 3 by a double nut 4 so that the position in the front-rear direction can be freely adjusted. Reference numeral 5 is a connecting member (stopper) that is coupled to the tip of the control cable 1. To make fine adjustment so that the tension of the control cable 1 stretched between the stopper 5 and the stopper 5 is constant, loosen the double nut 4. The cable outer 2 may be moved back and forth with respect to the bracket 3 to adjust its position, and then fixed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, it may not be possible to increase the adjustment size of the cable outer 2 due to the mounting space of the cable outer 2 with respect to the bracket 3 and the layout relationship. Therefore, there is a problem that the adjustment cost of the control cable cannot be sufficiently large.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention fixedly attaches a tube-shaped cable outer through which a control cable is inserted to a bracket, and a stopper which is fixed to the tip of the control cable is provided with a through hole for guiding the control cable forward and backward. A tightening plate was installed in a slide hole that is orthogonal to the through hole, and a screw was provided to press this tightening plate against the control cable from the side.

[0007]

[Action]

 Therefore, the control cable can be fixed at any position by inserting the tip of the control cable into the stopper and then tightening the screw to press the tightening plate from the side surface of the control cable.

[0008]

【Example】

 To explain the embodiment of the present invention, in FIG. 1, a tubular cable outer 2 into which a control cable 1 is inserted is fixedly attached to a bracket 3 via a flange portion 6.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the stopper 5 as a connecting member connected to the control cable 1 is provided with a length adjusting portion. That is, a through hole 7 for guiding the control cable 1 freely moving back and forth is provided, and a tightening plate 9 is slidably inserted into a slide hole 8 that directly intersects with the through hole 7, and the tightening plate 9 is A tightening screw 11 that is screwed into a screw portion formed on the tubular portion 10 is provided.

The tightening screw 11 can be rotated by inserting the tool inserted from the opening 12 of the slide hole 8 into the locking hole 13, and by tightening the screw 11, the tightening plate 9 moves to push the control cable 1 from the side surface. , Is fixed inside the through hole 7. The tightening plate 9 does not rotate inside when the screw 11 is rotated.

With this configuration, in order to adjust the length (tension adjustment) of the control cable 1, the cable outer 2 is fixed to the bracket 3, and the tip of the control cable 1 is inserted into the through hole of the stopper 5. 7, the tension 11 is tightened after tightening the screw 11, and the tightening plate 9 is pressed against the control cable 1 to fix the control cable 1.

Of course, it is also possible to freely adjust the length again after the fastening.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the length of the control cable can be freely adjusted, and the adjustment section can be small, so that the degree of freedom in the layout of mounting the control cable is increased.
