An anchoring structure for a cable end comprises a securing body having a recess defined therein and having an opening defined through an outer surface thereof and extending into the recess, an anchoring nipple for being fixed to the end of the cable and fitted into the recess of the securing body through the opening for being operatively connected to the securing body. The nipple is a unitary member with a first substantially cylindrical half portion having an opening defined in a side wall thereof for receiving the end of the cable, and a second substantially cylindrical half portion joined side-by-side to the first substantially cylindrical half portion such that the nipple is substantially 8-shaped when viewed towards ends of the half portions. The recess has an oblong shape with a height and width only slightly larger than the diameter and lateral width of the substantially cylindrical half portions of the nipple, respectively, and with a longitudinal length somewhat larger than the longitudinal length of the nipple. With such structures, the nipple occupies a substantially maximum space within the recess when operatively disposed therein, which is desirable to prevent the nipple from rotating within the recess, and also desirably insures a large contact surface area between the nipple and the securing body when the nipple is operatively disposed therein so as to minimize the average contact pressure between a given point of the nipple and the securing body. |
