Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device that restricts free movement of parts such as a guide ring loosely fitted to a control cable in a state before wiring.

When routing control cables such as automobile parking brake cables and accelerator cables, they may be inserted through a synthetic resin guide ring hung on a bracket, but the end of the control cable is connected to a mating member. Since the metal fittings are fixed, this guide ring is fitted onto the control cable in advance, and with the metal fittings fixed to the terminals, it is sent to the assembly site and assembled on the car body. When the cable is routed through a small-diameter through-hole, and the guide ring is sent to the other side of the through-hole together with the end fitting, the guide ring is not fixed to the control cable, so the edge of the through-hole is In particular,
If the direction of insertion into the through-hole is upward, the guide ring will slide down toward the worker's hand due to its own weight, and it will take a long time to send the guide ring to the other side of the through-hole, making assembly difficult. This was a hindrance to improving work efficiency.

The present invention eliminates these drawbacks, restricts the movement of parts loosely fitted to the control cable, such as guide rings, etc., and allows the cable to be held at the terminal end and inserted into a through hole. The purpose is to make searching work easier and faster.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIG.
A synthetic resin guide ring 2 having a locking groove 3 formed on the outer periphery for hooking onto a bracket (not shown) is loosely fitted onto the control cable 1 made of a stranded wire, and then a guide ring 2 made of synthetic resin is loosely fitted to the control cable 1, which is made of a stranded wire. At the position where the connecting fitting 4 is fixed by casting and the guide ring 2 is abutted and sandwiched between the fitting 4, an elastic wire is bent into an S-shape, and both ends thereof are bent into a C-shape. Temporary fixing body 5 with tabs 6, 6 formed thereon
However, the central part of the cable is slightly bent and entwined in a spiral shape, and its elastic restoring force presses the control cable 1 vertically in three places alternately. The guide ring 2 is attached so that it can be fixed without moving or coming off in the axial direction, and can be moved in the axial direction while being held by the operator. The guide ring 2 is prevented from sliding down on the control cable 1 due to its own weight even when the metal fitting 4 is inserted upward into a small diameter through hole formed in the vehicle body. or getting caught on the edge of the through hole and being pushed back relatively.
It can be quickly and easily inserted and sent to the other side. In addition, since the temporary fixing body 5 is twisted in a helical shape, there is no fear that it will come off even if a force in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the control cable 1 is applied.

As shown by the chain lines in FIGS. 2 and 3, the temporary fixing body 5 is assembled by pushing the tabs 6 and 6 at both ends close to each other at a position that crosses the upper part of the control cable 1, and then opening the center part. It can be easily and quickly attached to the control cable 1 by bending it in the shape of a letter, rotating it to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. At the same time, by rotating the knobs 6, 6 in the opposite direction to the direction in which they are installed, passing the knobs 6, 6 under the control cable 1 and moving them to the opposite side, the control cable 1 can be easily and easily removed. Can be quickly removed.

Next, a modified example of the temporary fixing body 5 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The temporary fixing body 5a is made by bending an elastic wire rod into an S-shape and winding it up in a pigtail shape at both ends. The loose coil parts 6a, 6a are formed in the same direction, and when attached to the control cable 1, the coil parts 6a, 6a are formed in the same direction.
a acts as a stopper to prevent the temporary fixing member 5a from rotating, and has the advantage that it will not come off easily even if it gets caught on the vehicle body during wiring work. It is exactly the same as the body 5, and when removed, the coil parts 6a, 6
All you have to do is hold down the cables a so that they are close to each other, pass under the control cable 1, and move them to the opposite side.

As has been made clear through the above explanation, the device for controlling the looseness of the control cable loose fitting component of the present invention is constructed by winding a temporary fixing body made of an elastic material bent in an S-shape around the control cable to provide elasticity. The gist is that the control cable is fixed in a fixed position by restoring force, and the movement of the component loosely fitted to the control cable is regulated by contact with the temporary fixing body. is made of an elastic material, and its elastic restoring force presses the control cable vertically at three locations alternately, and its frictional force fixes it in a fixed position, bringing loose fitting parts into contact and reliably restricting its movement. This prevents loosely fitting parts from slipping off when wiring the control cable while keeping it in a vertical position, or causing the loosely fitting parts to get caught on the edge of the hole and move when inserted into the through hole. In addition to preventing the S-shaped temporary fixing body from bending at its center and sandwiching the control cable, it forms two bent parts with openings in opposite directions on both sides, which prevents the control cable from being connected to the control cable. Attachment and detachment can be performed easily and quickly, and the efficiency of wiring the components loosely fitted to the control cable is improved.
