<p>The invention provides a Bowden-type cable control having an inner core cable (1) movable axially within an outer conduit (2), the outer conduit being adapted to extend between two fixed end abutments, and the control having a device (3) whereby the effective length of the outer conduit as it extends between said end abutments may be adjusted. The adjuster device essentially comprises an externally threaded hollow stem (4) which can be screwed into and out of a hollow internally threaded sleeve (5), said stem and said sleeve forming part of the length of said conduit extending between said end abutments, and the core cable passing through and being movable within both said sleeve and said stem, the screwing of the stem (5) into or out of the sleeve (4) being effective to alter the length of the conduit (2). The external thread of the stem (5) is formed with at least one flat extending axially along the external surface of the threaded part of the stem. A latching member (6) is non-rotably connected to the sleeve (4), the latching member being movable into and out of a position in which it engages the flattened portion of the threaded stem in such a way as to lock the stem against rotation relative to the sleeve. <IMAGE></p> |
