ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to a self-adjusting device that equalizes the length for pull ropes which activate parts of motor vehicles, particularly for locking latches of motor vehicle seats, with a spring-loaded tension element. The spring-loaded tension element is formed by a pivoting lever which is guided on a support, so that its longitudinal position may be shifted and so as to be capable of being pivoted, which exhibits two terminal areas that are entwined by the pull rope. Due to the use of a tension spring, one terminal area abuts a stop, from which it may be lifted up as the force of the tension spring is overcome, and swiveled to make contact with an opposing stop, when tractile force is applied to the pull rope. The stop and opposing stop exhibit contact surfaces that run parallel to one another, and which extend across the pathway of longitudinal shift. Between the two entwined terminal areas of the pivoting lever, provision is made for an area of entwinement in a fixed location on the support.
