ABSTRACT:
An automatic length compensating device (30) for a flexible cable transmission (8) having a core (12) sliding inside a sheath (10). The device (30) has a first and a second member (31, 32) inserted at least partly one inside the other in a predetermined direction (B) and defining, in that direction (B), respective through seats (33, 34) fitted through with the core (12) of the transmission (8); elastic means (35) interposed between the first and second member (31, 32), and which provide for increasing mutual withdrawal of the first and second member (31, 32); and releasable locking means (50) defining a number of mutually engaged positions of the first and second member (31, 32) corresponding to different extensions of the device (30) in the aforementioned direction (B). The second member (32) has two arms (40) engaged between two corresponding arms (38) of the first member (31), and the locking means are defined by toothed coupling means (50) between each arm (38) of the first member (31) and a corresponding arm (40) of the second member (32). (FIG. 4)
