ABSTRACT:
The control cable self-adjusting device has an extended cylindrically shaped hollow base body (5) open at one of its ends (9) and a regulating stem (6) held inside the interior of the base body (5) by a retaining device. The closed end (10) of the base body (5) and the front end (15) of the regulating stem (6) are connected to respective intermediate ends (13,14) of the sheath (4) of a control cable (2). The retaining device (7) includes a saw-toothed threaded section (25) in the interior of the base body (5) and a retaining coil (26) connected to the stem (6) and engaged with the threaded section (25). The control cable length adjustment is made by pulling apart the intermediate ends (14,15) of the sheath (4) to deform the retaining coil (26) and move it from the inside to the outside of the base body (5) or by screwing the base body (5) on the stem (6) in either direction via the retaining coil (26).
