ABSTRACT:
A cable length adjusting device includes a housing fixed in position against longitudinal displacement and formed with a surface having multiple teeth, an adjuster fitted within the hole of the housing and formed with teeth along its length that can engage the teeth of the housing, a compression spring that biases the adjuster away from the housing, a retainer that limits the amount of longitudinal movement of the adjuster relative to the housing due to the effect of the spring, a locking mechanism that pivots the adjuster on the surfaces of the housing hole so that the teeth of the adjuster and housing are brought into engagement, a conduit fixed to the adjuster and a cable core supported within the conduit and adapted for attachment at each of its ends to a pivotally mounted lever.
