ABSTRACT:
Flexible cables require an adjustable end fitting to permit the exact length to be attained at installation in the system in which is to be controlled. The adjusting structure includes a body adjusting portion on the one end of the cable and an adjustable body core which will be attached to one of the working members. Each of the body core and the body adjusting portion have a toothed portion formed thereon which are alignable when the body adjusting portion is inserted within the adjustable body core. A lock member secures these two portions together with a toothed portion which engages the aligned toothed portions on the body members. In order to prevent premature locking of the two elements together, the retaining member is secured out of engagement with the toothed elements and also after engagement of the toothed elements the lock member is secured in the lock position. The positioning of the lock member is controlled by a single retainer clip which is slidably disposed on the adjustable body core.
