Therefore, the hood release cable 10 can easily be disposed on the lower surface of the bulkhead upper frame 4 in the same manner as when the cable 10 does not have a slack portion 16. Since a sufficient length of slack can be secured by providing the wound slack portion 16, the unintentional canceling of the lock mechanism 9 during a collision can be reliably prevented.

Description
- The present invention relates to a vehicle comprising a disposing structure of a cable including a hood release cable which releases a lock mechanism of a hood of a vehicle.
- A lock mechanism is provided on an engine hood of a vehicle, and is operated in a cabin via a hood release cable. The hood release cable includes an inner wire and an outer tube. An end of the inner wire is coupled to the lock mechanism and the other end is coupled to a lever provided in the cabin. The outer tube covers the periphery of the inner wire so as to be able to relatively displace the inner wire. The hood release cable is disposed along a frame member or a panel member which surrounds an engine room of the vehicle and is fixed to these members so as to have no slack as a whole.
- The lock mechanism is cancelled by pulling the inner wire in a state in which the outer tube of the hood release cable is reliably fixed to the vehicle. However, there is a possibility that the fixation of the outer tube near the lock mechanism is cancelled by an outer force due to deformation of the frame member or the panel member if the vehicle is in a collision.
- For solving this problem, a disposing structure of a hood release cable including a detachment prevention mechanism for the outer tube is known (see, for example,
Japanese Unexamined Patent Application, First Publication No. 2004-76574 - However, since this conventional disposing structure prevents the detachment of the outer tube by the detachment prevention mechanism if the vehicle is in a collision, it is difficult to stand an entire load when the outer tube is strongly pulled by the great deformation of the vehicle body, though it can stand a small load applied to the outer tube.
- That is, when the outer tube is bound, for example, between the frame member and a component in the engine room such as a battery during a collision of the vehicle, there is a possibility that the outer tube is strongly pulled in accordance with the deformation of the frame member. In this case, the detachment prevention mechanism is deformed or broken, the inner wire is pulled with the outer tube, and there is a possibility that the lock mechanism is unintentionally cancelled.

DE 29 08 613 A shows a mechanism for opening the doors of a vehicle. In order to open said door a lever must be pulled which is connected to the Bowdencable 5. The Bowden cable runs from the lever to the lock. In order to avoid opening of the lock in case of a collision, the Bowden cable has a black portion. The Bowden cable can run in a curved form (Fig. 1 ), in a wave form (Fig. 2 ) or in a winding portion as shown inFig. 3 . - An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle comprising a disposing structure of a cable including a hood release cable which can reliably prevent an unintentional cancelling of a lock mechanism if a vehicle is in a collision.
- According to the present invention, a vehicle comprising a disposing structure of a cable includes a hood release cable having an inner wire one end of which is coupled to a lock mechanism provided in a vehicle body and the other end is operable in a cabin and an outer tube which covers a periphery of the inner wire so as to be able to relatively displace the inner wire, wherein the hood release cable is partially fixed to the vehicle body and has a slack portion between the lock mechanism and the cabin, formed by winding a portion of the hood release cable between the lock mechanism and the cabin, and wherein the disposing structure of the present invention further includes a cushioning member disposed at a portion of the slack portion where the hood release cable crosses. According to the aforementioned constitution, the slack portion is pulled when the hood release cable is pulled toward the inside of the vehicle body by a collision of the vehicle. As a result, a pulsing load to the lock mechanism is cancelled. Furthermore, friction at the position where the hood release cable crosses is prevented.
- Portions of the hood release cable adjacent to the slack portion can be disposed straight and a sufficient length of the portion which is made straight if the vehicle is in a collision can be secured.
- A plurality of portions of the slack portion may be fixed to the vehicle body. In this case, though the slack portion is usually fixed to the vehicle body in its initial state, it is made straight between the fixed portions by the pulling load toward the inside of the vehicle body if the vehicle is in a collision.
- A portion of a first section which is a portion of the hood release cable nearer the lock mechanism than the slack portion and the vehicle body may sandwich a second section which is a portion of the hood release cable further from the lock mechanism than the slack portion. In this case, the second section can be reliably fixed between the first section and the vehicle body.
- When a length of the hood release cable is defined as L, a length from the lock mechanism to the slack portion may be within 0.1 L to 0.3 L.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a main portion of the embodiment. -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged bottom view of the main portion of the embodiment. - An embodiment of the present invention shall be described below with reference to
FIGS. 1 to 3 . In the following description, the term "front", "right", and "left" are defined with reference to a traveling direction of a vehicle unless a different definition is presented. In these drawings, an arrow F is directed to front, and arrows R and L are respectively directed to right and left. -
FIG. 1 shows a vehicle having a disposing structure of a cable of the present invention. InFIG. 1 , reference numeral 1 indicates an engine room provided in a front portion of a vehicle body, andreference numeral 2 indicates a hood which opens and closes an opening 1a of the engine room 1. Thehood 2 is coupled to the vehicle body with a hinge. A rear end of the opening 1a functions as a rotational axis of thehood 2. - An upper half of the engine room 1 is constituted of side members 3 and a bulkhead
upper frame 4. The side members 3 are disposed at right and left sides of the front of the vehicle, and the bulkheadupper frame 4 couples the front ends of the side members 3. Afront fender 5, afront bumper 6, and aheadlamp 7 or the like are fixed to the side members 3 via support members (not illustrated). A radiator (not illustrated) is fixed to the bulkheadupper frame 4. - A
hood lock device 8 for locking thehood 2 in a closed state is provided between the front end of thehood 2 and the bulkheadupper frame 4. Thehood lock device 8 includes a striker (not illustrated), alock mechanism 9, and ahood release cable 10. The striker is provided on the lower side of the front end of thehood 2, and thelock mechanism 9 locks thehood 2 to close by engaging with the striker. An end of thehood release cable 10 coupled to thelock mechanism 9, and the lock made by thelock mechanism 9 is cancelled by pulling the other end of thehood release cable 10 in a cabin of the vehicle. - Since the
lock mechanism 9 has a known structure, the detailed description thereof is omitted. Once thelock mechanism 9 engages with the striker, the lock is maintained unless the hood release cable is pulled. - In a
case 11 of thelock mechanism 9, a push-up mechanism (not illustrated) for biasing the front end of thehood 2 to the upper direction by a spring is housed. As shown inFIGS. 2 and3 , alatch 12 having ahook 12a and alever 12b, each of which is approximately L-shaped, is rotatably mounted on thecase 11. The push-up member assists an operator to open thehood 2 by slightly lifting the front end of thehood 2 when thelock mechanism 9 is cancelled. Thelatch 12 regulates the opening of thehood 2 by thehook 12a engaging with an engaging portion (not illustrated) of thehood 2 until thelever 12b is turned by the operator. - As shown in
FIG. 3 as partially exposed, thehood release cable 10 includes aninner wire 13 made of metal and anouter tube 14. An end of theinner wire 13 is coupled to an operating portion of thelock mechanism 9 and the other end thereof is coupled to a lever (not illustrated) provided in the cabin. Theouter tube 14 covers a periphery of theinner wire 13 so as to be able to displace theinner wire 13. The lock made by thelock mechanism 9 is cancelled by pulling theinner wire 13 by operating the lever. - The
hood release cable 10 extends from thelock mechanism 9 towards the left side of the vehicle along the lower surface of the bulkheadupper frame 4 and the side surface of the side member 3 on the left side of the vehicle body, and enters the cabin. A plurality of portions of thehood release cable 10 are fixed to the bulkheadupper frame 4 and the side member 3 by members such as clips as shown inFIG. 1 (reference numeral 15 indicates the fixed portions). Aslack portion 16 which is singly wound below the bulkheadupper frame 4 is provided in thehood release cable 10 near thelock mechanism 9. When the length of thehood release cable 10 is defined as L, it is preferable to provide theslack portion 16 so that the length of the portion of thehood release cable 10 between thelock mechanism 9 and theslack portion 16 is within 0.1 L to 0.3 L because theslack portion 16 is sufficiently near thelock mechanism 9 and easy for maintenance - A portion of the
hood release cable 10 between thelock mechanism 9 and theslack portion 16 is defined as afirst section 17, and a portion of thehood release cable 10 between theslack portion 16 and the cabin is defined as asecond section 18. Theslack portion 16 is maintained in its initial form so that each axis of thesections upper frame 4. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , theslack portion 16 is formed substantially oval as a whole and is deformed so that thefirst section 17 and thesecond section 18 are substantially aligned. In this state, symmetrical positions in the oval of theslack portion 16 are fixed on the lower surface of the bulkheadupper frame 4 by a pair ofclips 19. In thehood release cable 10, a first transiting portion from thefirst section 17 to theslack portion 16 is looped over a second transiting portion from theslack portion 16 to the second section 18 (lower of the vehicle body). The displacement of the second transiting portion is accordingly prevented. That is, since the first transiting portion is fixed to the bulkheadupper frame 4 by a portion of thelock mechanism 9 and theclips 19, the displacement of the second transiting portion can be prevented by being inserted between the first transiting portion and the bulkheadupper frame 4. - A cushioning
member 20 covers the periphery of the first transiting portion, and friction at the portion where thehood release cable 10 crosses can be prevented by the cushioningmember 20. A cushioningmember 20a which is identical to the cushioningmember 20 is provided at a position substantially symmetrical to the position where thecable 10 crosses for preventing friction with astep portion 21 of the bulkheadupper frame 4. - In the vehicle having the present embodiment, the
slack portion 16 of thehood release cable 10 is fixed to the lower surface of the bulkheadupper frame 4 at points away from each other in the axial direction. Therefore, the form of theslack portion 16 can reliably be maintained at the fixed position on the bulkheadupper frame 4 when there is no collision. The operation of the lever in the cabin for canceling the lock can reliably be transmitted to thelock mechanism 9. Especially in the present embodiment, since the first section near thelock mechanism 9 sandwiches thesecond section 18 with the bulkheadupper frame 4, the form of theslack portion 16 can be reliably maintained. - The
food release cable 10 is bound by surrounding members when the bulkheadupper frame 4 deforms due to a collision. When theouter tube 14 and theinner wire 13 are pulled together in the aforementioned condition, theslack portion 16 of thehood release cable 10 is extended by a pulling load. Since the pulling load is accordingly not transmitted from theinner wire 13 to thelock mechanism 9, an unintentional canceling of the lock made by thelock mechanism 9 can be reliably prevented. - Since the
slack portion 16 is formed by winding a portion of thehood release cable 10 in the disposing structure of the present embodiment, thefirst section 17 and thesecond section 18, which are in the vicinity of theslack portion 16, can be aligned substantially straight. Therefore, thehood release cable 10 can easily be disposed on the lower surface of the bulkheadupper frame 4 in the same manner as when thecable 10 does not have aslack portion 16. Since a sufficient length of slack can be secured by providing thewound slack portion 16, the unintentional canceling of thelock mechanism 9 during a collision can be reliably prevented. - In addition, since the cushioning
member 20 is provided at the position where thehood release cable 10 crosses, wear of thecable 10 due to the vibration of the vehicle can be prevented. The endurance of thecable 10 thus can be improved. - While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and illustrated above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
