Patent ID: 7628244

Claim:
A steering device, comprising: a first housing including: a first part supporting a first cable pulley for relative rotation with respect to the first housing; a second part being disposed for relative displacement with respect to the first part of the first housing; and a second housing supporting a second cable pulley for relative rotation with respect to the second housing; a first cable at least partially wound on the first cable pulley in a first direction of rotation of the first cable pulley; a second cable at least partially wound on the first cable pulley in a second direction of rotation of the first cable pulley; wherein the first cable and the second cable are wound on the second cable pulley so that the first pulley and second pulley are rotationally coupled via the first and second cables; a first sheath extending between first and second ends, the first cable being slidingly disposed in the first sheath, and the first end of the first sheath being coupled to the second part of the first housing; a second sheath extending between first and second ends, the second cable being slidingly disposed in the second sheath, and the first end of the second sheath being coupled to the second part of the first housing; and an adjuster being disposed between the first and second parts of the first housing, the adjuster, the adjuster including a turning operator disposed between the first and second parts of the first housing; wherein one of the first and second cable pulleys is adapted to rotate in response to an actuation part being operated by a driver, and the other of the first and second cable pulleys is adapted to rotate a wheel turning part to turn a steering control wheel; and wherein a first actuation of the adjuster simultaneously increases tension in the first and second cables, and a second actuation of the adjuster simultaneously decreases tension in the first and second cables.
