Adjustable instruction cable terminal

Abstract

An adjustable command cable terminal is disclosed as can be used for example in the automobile industry. By turning glove (4) central support (15) and shoe (14) move radially within opening (13) formed in internal terminal (5) for locking or releasing shaft (3). Radial movement of central support (15) and shoe (14) is achieved by the inner geometry of glove (4) which has variable inner diameter including section (20) with wider diameter for length adjustment of shaft (3), section (21) with progressively reduced diameter for quick closing, section (22) of an Archimedes-curve and section (23) with small diameter for the locked stated. Central support (15) is urged outwards against the inner geometry of glove (4) by springs (16). Inner surface (19) of internal terminal (5) and outer surface of shaft (3) have corresponding threads.

Description

technical field [0001] The object of the present invention is a fixing system for command cable terminals, and in particular a new fixing device for command cable terminals, which are single or double acting (push-pull) by means of a single The manual rotation movement can adjust and fix the cable on the corresponding command element. Background technique [0002] In the current state of technology, flexible cables are used in many ways to accurately transmit command forces and command movements from a transmitting mechanism to a receiving mechanism, especially where the location of said mechanism does not allow the mechanism to be directly connected in the case of. [0003] In the automotive industry, such command transmission cables are conventionally used, for example, to transmit commands from a clutch pedal to the clutch itself, or to transmit commands to switch gears to a gearbox. This system is especially indicated where the path of connection between the transmitti...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] Difficulty arises from adjustment and fixing as described above because it has to be done frequently in difficult-to-reach design layouts

In this case, the screw adjustment, especially the pressure of the reverse screw, requires the use of two overlapping tools and requires the adjuster's hands to operate in a limited movable space, thus making this adjustment very complicated and difficult. time and cost

Operational safety is also questionable as it is difficult to ensure the correct torque of the reverse screw under the stated conditions

[0009] Various devices have been developed to avoid the above-mentioned inconveniences, in which the adjustment and fixation of the final length of the cable is performed by an axial movement or a conjugated movement of the axial and radial directions. ), however, this action generally requires the use of both hands and often requires the use of supporting tools
