ABSTRACT:
In connecting an operating lever to the inner wire of a Bowden cable, a nipple is secured to one end of said inner wire, and on the other hand, a connector, in which a locking hole for engaging said nipple is formed, is supported within said operating lever so that the nipple of said inner wire engages the locking hole of said connector. Also, a ring body which presses the top surface of the nipple is attached to the circumferential surface of said connector to restrain said nipple within the locking hole of said connector. Said ring body prevents the nipple from unexpectedly projecting or falling from the connector as a result of elongation, etc. of the inner wire. The ring body has a handle-shaped pickup portion with a slot-shaped tool opening and is carried solely by the connector hidden within the operating lever.
