Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the relaxation of a cable by fixing the cable and providing an adjustment pipe formed with the slant locking teeth, a fixed base member to insert the cable therein in an axially movable manner and an adjustment top inserted into the base member in a movable manner to the direction perpendicular to the adjustment pipe and formed with the slant locking teeth. CONSTITUTION:An adjustment top 3 in an inserted condition has the locking teeth 6 engaged with the locking teeth 5 of an adjustment pipe 1 to restrict the movement of a base member 2 relative to the adjustment pipe 1. The adjustment top 3 is thrusted toa P direction to disengage the teeth 6 from the teeth 5, so that the adjustment pipe 1 is moved to the axial direction to put an outer cable 50 in a tensile condition. When the P-directional outer force of the adjustment top 3 is removed, the adjustment top 3 is moved to an (a) direction with a spring 7 to re-engage the teeth 6, 5 together. Since the teeth 6, 5 are slantly directed to the axial direction of the adjustment pipe 1, the adjustment pipe 1 is moved to a counter (b) direction, depending on the degree of engagement, to relax the cable 50. As a result, the length of the outer cable 50 in a somewhat relaxed condition, relative to an inner cable 51, can be adjusted.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of control cable length adjusting device, as shown in FIG. 9, an adjusting bolt 122 is attached to an end portion of an outer cable 121 through which an inner cable 120 is inserted. It is common that 122 is inserted into a mounting hole of a fixing member 123 such as a bracket, and an adjusting nut 124 screwed into the adjusting bolt 122 is tightened from both sides of the fixing member 123.
When adjusting the cable length, the adjustment nut 124 was loosened, a predetermined adjustment was performed, and the adjustment nut 124 was tightened again.

Therefore, in order to improve the troublesome work of adjusting the length of the cable as in the conventional structure, for example, JP-A-62-62
As disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63212 (conventional type adjusting device), there has been proposed a prior art in which the operation for adjusting the cable length is simplified so that the adjustment can be performed with one touch. That is, in this conventional adjusting device, the latch member is mounted so as to be movable in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the outer cable, and is also spring-biased so as to engage with a sliding member integrally formed with the outer cable. ing. In this conventional type adjusting device, the outer member is moved in the axial direction by moving the latch member against the spring force by the external force, the length of the outer cable can be adjusted, and the latch member slides when the external force is released. It engages the member and locks the movement of the outer cable.

However, the conventional adjusting device has a problem that it cannot be installed in a narrow space because the assembly of the adjusting portion is large and the device cannot be made compact, and the latch member is not the outer member. Since it engages with the sliding member in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the cable, a reliable lock cannot be obtained after adjustment, and when a large external force is applied to the cable, the adjustment position is likely to shift, which causes a problem such as an accident.

It is not necessary that the cable is fully tensioned, but it is desirable that the cable is once tensioned and then slightly relaxed (about several mm) and held. If this is in a tensioned state, the other member will operate with a slight movement of the input, or the other member will be operating even if there is no input, so for example the accelerator cable, trunk opener cable In this case, the safety, the operation, or the feeling is adversely affected. However, there has not been developed a cable length adjusting device capable of easily performing the loosening operation with one touch.

Next, the operation of the adjusting device A will be described with reference to FIGS.
It will be described based on. When the adjustment piece 3 is inserted, the lock teeth 6 of the adjustment piece 3 engage with the locking teeth 5 of the adjustment pipe 1 to restrict the relative movement between the base member 2 and the adjustment pipe 1. FIG. 6 shows this state, and the base member 2 is fixed to a fixed member (not shown) by engaging the bracket member 52 with the annular groove 2g of the cylindrical portion 2f. In this state, when the adjustment piece 3 is pressed in the P direction and moved downward as shown in FIG. 7, the engagement between the lock teeth 6 and the engagement teeth 5 is released, and the adjustment pipe 1 is adjusted with the recess 4 thereof. It is slidable in the axial direction within a range regulated by the relationship with the side piece 3a of the piece 3, so that the piece can be prevented from coming off from the base member 2, and the length of the cable can be adjusted within the above range. At this time, since the lock teeth 6 and the locking teeth 5 are formed obliquely with respect to the axial direction of the adjustment pipe 1, when the adjustment piece 3 moves in the P direction, the adjustment pipe 1 engages with both teeth 6, 5. It moves in the b direction through the section. The amount of movement of the adjusting pipe 1 at this time corresponds to the degree of inclination of the lock teeth 6 and the locking teeth 5.

When the two teeth 6, 5 are disengaged, the adjustment pipe 1 becomes slidable in the axial direction. In this state, the adjustment pipe 1 is moved in the axial direction to temporarily bring the outer cable 50 into a tensioned state. Next, when the external force in the P direction applied to the adjusting piece 3 is released, the adjusting piece 3 is urged by the spring 7 to move in the a direction, and the lock teeth 6 and the locking teeth 5 are engaged again. The adjustment pipe 1 moves in the c direction as shown in FIG. 8 according to the degree of progress of this engagement. The movement of the adjusting pipe 1 in the direction c is in a direction to loosen the outer cable 50, whereby the relative length of the outer cable 50 to the inner cable 51 can be adjusted in a somewhat loosened state.
The amount of relaxation of the outer cable 50 at this time is determined by the lock teeth 6
And the degree of inclination of the locking teeth 5 is usually several mm
It is set to a degree.

As shown in FIG. 7, the adjusting device A is brought into a use state after the adjusting piece 3 is returned to the initial position shown in FIG. 6 by the spring 7. In this use state, the movement of the adjustment piece 3 in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the adjustment pipe 1 is prevented, and the lock tooth 6 and the locking tooth 5 are maintained in a positive engagement state, so that the adjustment pipe 1 moves. Does not cause malfunction.
