Abstract: A length-adjusting device for a control cable, comprising a stationary base member to which an outer cable or an inner cable of the control cable is fixedly secured, and into which a cylindrical adjusting pipe, having circular grooves formed and disposed thereon in parallel is inserted and movable in axial direction thereof; an adjusting piece, having a resilient spring, and having a pair of similarly pitched locking teeth for engagement to and release from the circular grooves, which is moveably inserted in a direction perpendicularly to the axis of the adjusting pipe and into an aperture in the stationary base member; and wherein the adjusting piece is biased by the resilient spring which is disposed between the stationary base member and the adjusting piece, for engaging the circular grooves with the locking teeth, and at the same time enabling the release of the engagement by movement against the resilient force of the resilient spring by means of an external force, and wherein the adjusting piece having

Abstract: A length-adjusting device for a control cable, which can be made compact, operated within a small stroke and kept securely locked, and can, as well, be assembled easily, comprising: an adjusting pipe (1), having latching teeth (5) thereon, to be fixed with an outer control cable and penetrated by an inner control cable, a base member (2), to be penetrated by said adjusting pipe (1) movably along the axis thereof, and fixed to a stationary member and an adjusting piece (30) with locking teeth (6) to engage with said latching teeth (5), wherein the movement of said adjusting pipe (1) relative to said base member (2) is locked by means of the engagement of said latching teeth (5) with said locking teeth (6), and the extent of said movement is restricted within a concave (4) of said adjusting pipe (1), after releasing said engagement (refer to FIG. 6 ).
