ABSTRACT:
An improved cable clamping apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus is adapted for use in a cable actuated power drive mechanism having a cable and a cable drive mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, the improved cable clamping apparatus includes a coupling element for moving a mass in response to the movement of the cable. A particularly novel aspect of the invention is the provision of a cable clamp attached to the coupling element for clamping the cable such that the coupling element moves in response to the movement of the cable. The cable clamp is generally L-shaped with an integral first section and dual U-shaped second sections each adapted to receive the cable therein. In a specific embodiment, the dual U-shaped sections of the clamp are separated to receive and retain a cable collar therebetween. In a further more specific embodiment, at least one U-shaped section of the clamp is adapted for fastening with an appropriate fastener to enclose a portion of the cable therein.
