Abstract: Actuators transversally movable through a reciprocable mechanical connection, under the control of a single unit disposed at one side of the strip are housed within a channel provided across the strip. Each actuator comprises a cam having an inclined plane and a cable support constantly engaging the inclined plane and adapted to pivot about an axis parallel to the cable axis, so that the raising of the cable support causes the cable to be raised while being off set in relation to its retraction channel.
