ABSTRACT:
A cable assembly for transferring motion between two pivotally mounted levers includes a mounting bracket for fixing the device against movement, a sleeve formed with grooves or teeth on its outer surface, an adjustment lock mechanism including a clip adapted to engage the teeth on the sleeve, and a spring that resiliently biases the sleeve away from a housing formed with a bore into which the sleeve, a conduit and a cable extend. The cable length is adjusted by applying tension to the cable, which forces the conduit and the sleeve to move in the direction of the tension force. The clip is then moved into engagement with the teeth of the sleeve to fix the length of the cable assembly to a desired length. If one member that is fixed to the cable assembly is prevented from rotating about its pivot in accordance with movement of the cable assembly, an adjustment lock becomes disengaged from its mounting on the housing, thereby permitting movement of the sleeve and conduit in accordance with the requirement movement.
