ABSTRACT:
Apparatus of increased simplicity, reliability and economy is provided for automatically maintaining the tautness of a mechanical coupling such as commonly employed, for example, between a vehicular brake and its actuating mechanism, which would otherwise be subject to loosening during normal use as a result of wear or the like. The apparatus, although also utilizable with mechanical couplings employing rigid connecting links, is especially suited for use with couplings employing flexible cables or the like, wherein it need only be interposed in series with the cabling between the actuating mechanism and the device actuatable thereby, thereby adapting the apparatus for use in a variety of applications in which control cable couplings are employed. The apparatus basically requires only an assembly having a threadably intercoupled element and member mounted for reciprocation by the associated cabling or linkages, with the element being restrained against rotation and the member being rotatable and provided with a unique arrangement of rotary cam surfaces continuously engaged by a follower pin whose position is fixed relative to the reciprocable movement of the assembly and the rotatability of the member.
