Patent number: 11892021Abstract: A connection structure is provided, wherein relative movement between outer and inner members is restrained by an engaging member. The engaging member includes first and second bolding elements. A connection part connected to another-side end part of the second holding element is provided in one-side end part of the first holding element. A first extension part is provided in another-side end part of the first holding element The connection part includes second and third extension parts, and a connection element extending substantially parallel to the second holding element. The first holding element and the first and second extension parts are provided such that an angle formed by the first holding element and the second extension part, and an angle formed by the first holding element and the first extension part are smaller than 90°. Use of the connection structure, which is easily formable, restrains the engaging member from being detached.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: HI-LEX CORPORATIONInventors: Takahiro Horinaka, Takuma Imagawa

Patent number: 8857288Abstract: A connection structure of a control cable includes one control cable, the other control cable, a joint case separable into pieces on respective sides of one and the other control cables, a joint member, and an attachment member. The other control cable includes first and second control cables. The attachment member has a fitting portion allowing fitting of an inner cable of each of the first and second control cables into an outer circumferential surface of the attachment member. The fitting portion can be exposed from an internal space when the joint case is separated. Thus, a connection structure of a control cable with which an inner cable can readily be removed can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: HI-LEX CorporationInventors: Ritsu Sano, Takahiro Horinaka
