An apparatus for guiding a cable (34) includes a frame (14) and a cable guide member (50) mounted to the frame (14) for rotation around a guide member axis (X). The cable guide member (50) includes a curved outer peripheral cable guide surface (54) disposed radially outwardly from the guide member axis (X) for guiding the cable (34). A bearing (70,78) having a cable guide surface (86,88) is disposed radially outwardly from the outer peripheral cable guide surface (54). When the cable guide member (50) has a small radius of curvature, the cable (34) may contact the bearing (70,78) and thus avoid the excessive friction encountered in the prior art. <IMAGE> |
