Claim:
A terminal supporting device for supporting a terminal of a cable by a bracket, said terminal supporting device comprising: a main body comprising a tubular portion in which a male screw is formed on a periphery surface thereof and wherein said cable is inserted inside thereof; a socket screwed onto said tubular portion so as to move back and forth in an axial direction relative to said tubular portion; a stopper fixed to said tubular portion to be opposed to said socket; a biasing member comprising a biasing force which gives said socket a torque in a direction approaching said stopper and prevents a loosening of said socket to sandwich said bracket between said socket and said stopper; and a lock member which keeps a distance between said socket and said stopper, wherein said lock member comprises a lock body releasably interposed between said stopper and said socket, wherein said socket is rotated against said biasing force of said biasing member so as to expand a space between said socket and said stopper, and wherein said lock body is arranged movably between a lock position located between said socket and said stopper and a lock release position separated outwardly from a position located between said socket and said stopper, wherein said lock body comprises a fitting projection, and wherein said stopper comprises a fitting depression which fits with said fitting projection of said lock body at said lock position.
