ABSTRACT:
A device for adjusting and holding the length of a Bowden cable includes a supporting sleeve, which supports a sheath end-piece for axial sliding movement but prevents rotation. External threads formed on the outer surface of the sheath end-piece are engaged by corresponding teeth on the inner surface of a locking sleeve, which is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the device to engage and disengage the teeth. A ribbed actuating sleeve engages cogs on the outer surface of the locking sleeve to facilitate rotation. When the teeth are engaged, the length of the cable is releasably fixed.
