  • Publication number: 20120066870
    Abstract: A quick-fit anchoring device for anchoring a sheath of a control cable to a mounting bracket is disclosed, which has a slot shaped generally as a U opening to a side of the mounting bracket, wherein the slot comprises a receiving portion of circular shape which is closed along an arc of circumference extending more than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees so as to define an opening the width of which is smaller than the diameter of the receiving portion. The device comprises a hollow body adapted to be fixed to the sheath, a collar mounted on the body coaxially therewith and rotatably relative thereto about an axis of rotation coinciding with its own axis, and a spring interposed between the body and the collar.

  • Patent number: 7056125
    Abstract: The device, suitable for connecting one end of an operating cable to a control member, particularly a control lever of a vehicle gearbox, includes: an outer body to be attached to the operating cable, having a through opening; and a bush arranged to be inserted into the through opening of the body to be locked inside it in a final assembled position and having a snap-action spherical seat for receiving a ball head of a pin to be connected to the control member. The spherical seat is provided with an elastically deformable element formed integrally with the bush and extending from the top of the seat in such a way as to elastically oppose the insertion of the ball head into the seat.

  • Publication number: 20050008429
    Abstract: The device, suitable for connecting one end of an operating cable to a control member, particularly a control lever of a vehicle gearbox, comprises: an outer body to be attached to the operating cable, having a through opening; and a bush arranged to be inserted into the through opening of the body to be locked inside it in a final assembled position and having a snap-action seat suitable for receiving a ball head of a pin intended to be connected to the control member. The seat of the bush is provided with elastically deformable means, formed integrally with the bush, able to elastically oppose the insertion of the ball head into the seat in such a way as to prevent the device from being left erroneously in a pre-assembled condition in which the ball head is received in the seat but the bush is not locked in the opening of the body.

  • Publication number: 20040265051
    Abstract: The device, for connecting an end of a control cable to a control member, in particular to the gearshift lever of a motor-vehicle gearbox, includes: an outer body connectable to the control cable and having a through aperture; a bush insertable into the through hole of the body to be releasably locked in an assembly position; and a cover for closing the through aperture at the axially opposite side to that in which the bush is insertable. The bush is provided with resilient engagement means for cooperating with respective retaining members on the body so as releasably to lock the bush in the assembly position, and cam portions formed in one piece with the resilient engagement means.
