Cable drive system for automobile, has fixing device with spreading element movable under spring tension that interacts with arrangement that clamps spreading element against housing if cable under traction

摘要

The system has at least one guided cable (12) with a control element for varying its movement length, a first spring element (22) for continuously compensating for its lengthening, a housing (16) in which the spring element is supported under tension and a fixing device (14) in the housing for securing the extended length of the cable. The fixing device has a spreading element (24) resting on the inside of the housing and movable under spring tension and that interacts with an arrangement (26) that clamps the spreading element against the housing when the cable is under traction.
