摘要

The remote cable operation (1) for the release of a trailer coupling (2) between the towing vehicle and trailer has a pull cable (3) guided through a sleeve (7) and equipped with an operating loop (6). The operating loop is fixed in relation to the guide sleeve by a locking device to prevent inadvertent pulling in the release direction. The locking device may be a spring pin fitting in the guide sleeve. The pull cable is guided over an intermediate roller fastened to the coupling lever (4) and by its end furthest from the operating loop is connected to a fixing point on the vehicle side.
