Abstract: An adjusting device for a cable of a hand-brake. When the hand-brake is disengaged, a tractive element configured as a threaded spindle that can be attached to the cable can be tightened on a spindle nut that surrounds the threaded spindle in relation to a housing by means of the pre-tensioning of a spring. The adjusting device permits a simple, continuous adjustment of a cable. The spring is configured as a constant-force spring, which engages the spindle nut and a supply roll that has a rotational axis parallel to the spindle nut and elements are provided for retaining the tractive element in position relative to the housing when the hand-brake is engaged.
