Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An actuation cable device includes a left hood lock cable having an end connected to a left hood lock device; a right hood lock cable having an end connected to a right hood lock device; an opener cable having an end connected to a hood opener; and a link device including a rotatable link member to which second ends of the above-described cables are connected. The left hood lock cable and the right hood lock cable are respectively connected to an upper portion and a lower portion of the link member in a manner so that they extend from the link member toward opposite sides to each other. The opener cable is connected to the upper portion in a manner so that it extends from the link member toward an opposite side to the side toward which the left hood lock cable extends.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An actuation cable device for actuating a first device and a second device of a vehicle in conjunction with an operation of an operation device of the vehicle, the actuation cable device comprising: a first cable having a first end that is connected to the first device; a second cable having a first end that is connected to the second device; a third cable having a first end that is connected to the operation device; and a link member that is rotatable about a rotary axis set at a center portion, wherein the first cable has a second end connected to a first portion of the link member that is located closer to a first-end side of the link member than the rotary axis, wherein the second cable has a second end connected to a second portion of the link member that is located closer to a second-end side of the link member than the rotary axis, the second portion being located opposite the first portion with the rotary axis therebetween, wherein the first cable and the second cable extend from the link member toward opposite sides to each other, wherein the third cable has a second end connected to a third portion of the link member that is located closer to the first-end side of the link member than the rotary axis, and wherein the third cable extends from the link member toward an opposite side to the side toward which the first cable extends.
