  • Patent number: 10023031
    Abstract: A pulley apparatus has: a pulley case (CA) disposed on one side of a vehicle body panel (11a) forming part of the vehicle; a pulley (80) disposed rotatable in the pulley case (CA); and a cable guide disposed in the pulley case (CA), wherein the cable guide is in sliding contact with a cable (18) which is led into an interior of the vehicle through the vehicle body panel (11a), and guides the cable (18) along vehicle body panel (11a) to direct the cable (18) to the pulley (80). As a result, when a load is applied to the cable (18), a case body of the pulley case (40) is pressed against the vehicle body panel (11a), thereby suppressing rattling noise and vibration of the pulley case (CA).

  • Publication number: 20150251525
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a pulley apparatus which can be suppressed in shakiness without being deteriorated in workability in fitting the pulley apparatus to a vehicle body. The pulley apparatus has: a pulley case CA disposed on one side of a vehicle body panel 11a making up the vehicle; a pulley 80 disposed rotatable in the pulley case CA; and a cable guide disposed in the pulley case CA, wherein the cable guide comes in slide contact with a cable 18 led from the same side as the guide rail 11a in the vehicle body panel 11a, and curves the cable 18 along vehicle body panel 11a to direct the cable 18 to the pulley 80. As a result, when a load “F” is applied to the cable 18, the case body 40 can be pressed against the vehicle body panel 11a, thereby suppressing the shakiness of the pulley case CA.
