Abstract: An actuating installation for the Bowden cables of a hand brake, in which a first Bowden cable that starts at the hand brake, has a fixed support as regards its casing at its end facing the hand brake and is movably supported with its casing end opposite the hand brake; a transmission device which is connected with the free end of the casing of the first Bowden cable by way of adjusting means, is secured at the core of a second Bowden cable; the adjusting means is thereby freely movably supported in such a manner that during a brake actuation the cores of the two Bowden cables are movable in directions toward one another.
