A device for detachably connecting an end fitting of a control cable with a control lever in an operating device is composed in such manner that it makes the operating device to be more short and workability of cable connection to be enhanced. The operating device consists of a strut and a control lever which are pivotally journalled to each other. A end fitting of a control cable is engaged with a free end of the control lever, which free end is bifurcated by means of planar members spaced from each other so as to define a gap. In order to engage the end fitting with the free end of the control lever, the end fitting is set so that its long side is parallel with the planar members and then passed through the gap. Thereafter, the end fitting is rotated around the cable axis by an angle of 90 deg. and the cable is pulled to engage with the free end of the control lever.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A device for connecting a control cable for use in an operating mechanism in which one of members to be operated is engaged with one end of a strut, and the other one of members to be operated is engaged with a control lever pivotally journalled to the other end of the strut, in the vicinity of the pivotally journalled portion of the control lever, an end fitting of the control cable being engaged with a free end of the control lever in a cable pulling direction, and the control lever and the strut being rotated relative to each other around the pivotally journalled portion by pulling the control cable, so as to move said both members to be operated, away from each other, characterized in that:said end fitting of the control cable having such a shape that the length of one side is longer than that of the other, as viewed in the longitudinal direction of the control cable;said free end of the control lever having a gap through which the length of said other side of the end fitting of the control cable can pass but the length of said one side thereof cannot pass; andthe end fitting of the control cable is passed through the gap in a direction reverse to the cable pulling direction, and then, the control cable is rotated by an angle of 90 deg. around its longitudinal axis so as to engage the end fitting of the control cable with the free end of the control lever in the cable pulling direction.
