A mounting device for a control cable, including a stationary member to which a tube of the control cable is fixed, and a connector for connecting the tube to the stationary member. The stationary member has a first wall substantially parallel to an axial direction of the tube and a second wall extending from the first wall in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. The stationary member is provided with an opening extending over the first and second walls. The connector includes a body portion fitted into the opening on the second wall of the stationary member, and a locking portion inserted from outside into the opening on the first wall of the stationary member to be engaged therewith.

1. A mounting device for a control cable having a tube and an internal cable therethrough, the mounting device comprising:a stationary member to which the tube of the control cable is fixed at its end, having a first wall substantially parallel to an axial direction of the tube and a second wall substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, the first and second walls forming a corner provided with an opening extending thereover; anda connector provided at the end of the tube of the control cable for connectine the tube to the stationary member at the corner thereof, the connector comprising a body portion configured to be fitted into the opening on the second wall of the stationary member, and a locking portion configured to be simply pushed into the opening on the first wall of the stationary member for engagement therewith,wherein the locking portion has a pair of flat bars arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane including an axis of the control cable;wherein a space between distal ends of the flat bars is larger than the opening on the first wall; andwherein base ends of the flat bars are arranged to have a width therebetween which is narrower than the opening on the first wall.2. The mounting device for a control cable according to claim 1, wherein the flat bars of the locking portion are elastically deformable in such a manner that the distal ends of the flat bars approach each other.3. The mounting device for a control cable according to claim 2, wherein, as the locking portion of the connector is pushed into the opening on the first wall, both flat bars are bent inward with their outer sides pushed by and sliding on the peripheral edge of the opening on the first wall, and wherein after the locking portion passes through the opening on the first wall, each of the flat bars springs back to its original shape, with the distal end thereof being set on an inner side of the first wall.4. A mounting device for a control cable having a tube and an internal cable therethrough, the mounting device comprising:a stationary member to which the tube of the control cable is fixed at its end, having a first wall substantially parallel to an axial direction of the tube and a second wall substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, the first and second walls forming a corner with an opening extending thereover and defining an inner space surrounded on two sides by the first and second walls; anda connector provided at the end of the tube of the control cable for connecting the tube to the stationary member at the corner thereof, the connector comprising a body portion configured to be fitted into the opening on the second wall of the stationary member, and a locking portion configured to be simply pushed into the opening on the first wall of the stationary member for engagement therewith, wherein when the connector is engaged with the stationary member, a projecting edge of the connector closes the opening on the first wall of the stationary member so that the locking portion is enclosed within the inner space.5. The mounting device for a control cable according to claim 4, wherein the stationary member has, on a periphery of the opening on the second wall, a recessed portion, and the connector has, on the body portion thereof, a protrusion for engagement with the recessed portion of the stationary member.6. The mounting device for a control cable according to claim 4, wherein the locking portion of the connector comprises a pair of flat bars provided on opposite sides of the connector, each of the flat bars extending from a part of the connector in a direction such that distal ends of the flat bars are spaced further apart from each other than the opposite ends of the flat bars are spaced from each other.7. The mounting device for a control cable according to claim 4, wherein the locking portion of the connector comprises a pair of flat bars ranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane including an axis of the control cable.
