#CMT# #/CMT# The end cap has a curved rod (3) comprising an end (31) connected to an end (11) of a gearbox control cable (1) by a tube (2) in which the end (11) of the cable is locked. The rod has an end (32) comprising a part (8) that cooperates with a ball joint (9) connected to a gear selection mechanism (10) e.g. floor-mounted gearshift lever, in a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The tube slides axially in a guiding sleeve (4) with a part (5) that cooperates with a ball joint (6) with an element (7) integrated with a gearbox in an engine block. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for architecture for cable control of a gearbox of a motor vehicle and in which an end of a control cable has an end cap. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# End cap for a cable that controls a gearbox of a motor vehicle and for being placed between an end of the cable and a ball joint of a gearbox control module in an engine block or a gear selection mechanism in a passenger compartment of the vehicle. Can also be used for connecting the cable to a gear selection mechanism`s ball joint and to the joint of the control module. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The curved shape of the rod provides a free space before the gear selection mechanism, thus avoiding any intrusion to the gear control and hence allowing installation of the end cap in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The end cap permits arrangement of an interior decoration element at proximity of the gear selection mechanism, in a compact manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic overall view of an end cap. 1 : Gearbox control cable 2 : Tube 3 : Curved rod 4 : Guiding sleeve 5, 8 : Parts 6, 9 : Ball joints 7 : Element 10 : Gear selection mechanism 11, 31, 32 : Ends 20 : Interior decoration element. |
