Claim:
A cable guide ( 10 , 20 ) to change direction of an inner cable ( 7 a , 7 b ), the inner cable ( 7 a , 7 b ) being for sliding a slide door ( 3 ) of a vehicle body, comprising; a pulley case ( 11 , 21 ) of a box shape having an open upper end; a pulley ( 12 ) pivotably mounted and housed in the pulley case ( 11 , 21 ) and having a bottom surface and a side peripheral surface; and a case cover ( 13 A,) covering the upper open end of the pulley case ( 11 , 21 ); wherein the pulley case ( 11 , 21 ) comprises; a bottom ( 11 a ) on which the bottom surface of the pulley ( 12 ) slides; a cylindrical portion ( 11 b ) protruding from the bottom ( 11 a ) about which the pulley ( 12 ) rotates; a side wall ( 11 c ) provided to stand upward from a side edge of the bottom ( 11 a ) and arranged closely to the side peripheral surface of the pulley ( 12 ); a fixing portion ( 15 , 15 A) having a penetrating hole which penetrates the side wall ( 11 c ) and having a groove of U-shaped cross section, the groove for fixing a vicinal end of an outer casing slidably housing the inner cable; a guide path ( 16 ) or a guide hole ( 22 ) penetrating the side wall 11 c ; wherein a case protrusion ( 15 a , 15 Aa) is formed on an inner perimeter of the groove for fixing the outer casing ( 9 a , 9 b ), in which the case protrusion ( 15 a , 15 Aa) bites the outer casing ( 9 a , 9 b ) when the outer casing ( 9 a , 9 b ) is fixed to the fixing portion, wherein a cover protrusion ( 13 e ) is formed on the case cover ( 13 , 13 A) facing the case protrusion ( 15 a ), wherein the cover protrusion ( 13 e ) forces the outer casing ( 9 a , 9 b ) to bite the case protrusion ( 15 a , 15 Aa) when the pulley case ( 11 , 21 ) which is fixed with the outer casing ( 9 a , 9 b ) and the case cover ( 13 , 13 A) is fixed together.
