To provide a cable joint including a joint piece which has an good sliding property and is hardly broken. The cable joint includes a joint caseand a joint piece. The joint pieceis provided with a locking part of a cable end and a cable lead-out groove. A joint case side main sliding surfaceis formed flat, and a protrusion partis provided on a joint piece side main sliding surface. The protrusion part protrudes toward the main sliding surfacesin a direction orthogonal to the main sliding surfaces. An apex partof the protrusion part is located at a position corresponding to the cable lead-out groovein the direction orthogonal to the main sliding surfaces.

Cable joint and cable operation mechanism including the same

Provided is a cable connecting mechanism including a slider and a slider housing member. The slider housing member has a lid member, a bottom surface member, a pair of side walls, a one-end-side hinge connecting the lid member and the bottom surface member, an another-end-side hinge connecting the member and the bottom surface member, a first engagement structure provided on an outer surface closer to one end of the slider housing member than the one-end-side hinge, a second engagement structure, a third engagement structure, a fourth engagement structure, a cable extension part, and a wall portion arranged to be sandwiched between the one-end-side hinge and the another-end-side hinge. In a closed state, when a load is applied to the cable so as to release the closed state by pressing at least one of the lid member and the bottom surface member, the wall portion abuts against an outer circumference of another one of the lid member and the bottom surface member, to restrict a movement of the lid member or the bottom surface member in an alignment direction of the pair of side walls. Therefore, the hinge is not easily broken.
