  • Cable assembly having spring biasing adjustment
    Patent number: 5222413
    Abstract: A cable length adjusting device includes a cable located within a conduit, which is fixed against displacement at longitudinally spaced positions. A first end of the cable includes a fitting fixed to a ball stud extending from a lever whose position is a reference position. At the opposite end of the cable a fitting engages a ball stud extending from another lever. A spring clip in a form of a compression spring forces a rod end, fixed to one end of the cable, away from the location of the second ball stud and toward the reference position. A cable adjusting screw fixes the rod and spring clip in position on the second fitting.
