Title:
A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RESTRAINING CABLE CURVATURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004096628
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A pull cable can restrain cable curvature by the use of cable links (110) configured to provide a limit to a range of an angular relationship between neighboring cable links. By limiting the angular variation between links, a minimum radius of the pull cable can be provided. The cable links (110) can inhibit kinking of the inner cable (150) by restricting the cable from reaching a small radius that could induce kinking.
