Abstract
A cable coupling mechanism comprises an operating cable, a first operated cable, a second operated cable, and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device has a housing and a slider, wherein the housing has one pair of guide surfaces, wherein the slider is configured to be rotatable around an axis perpendicular to a sliding direction and a width direction, and wherein both side edges in the width direction of the slider have curved surfaces to be convex toward each of the one pair of guide surfaces such that movement of the slider in the sliding direction is not hindered when the slider rotates around the axis. According to this cable coupling mechanism, it is possible to easily operate the two operated cables so as to synchronize the two operated cables.
