A control cable adjuster device (Figure 4) for connection into and tensioning of a control cable run includes a termination member rod 13 extending into a tubular housing 10 through a locating means or insert 11. Collet means 14 biassed by a circumferential spring 17 are positioned in the insert 11 and are formed with 90 DEG triangular profile serrations 31 co-acting with serrations 32 on the rod 13. A helical spring 19 acting between the insert 11 and a collar 21 on the rod 13 acts to induce tension in the cable run. Engagement of part frusto-conical faces 15 on the collet means 14 with a frusto conical face 16 on the insert 11 acts to urge the collet means into locking engagement with the rod 13. An axially movably release tube 25 with a frusto-conical head 29 co-acts with part frusto-conical faces 27 on the collet means and is actuable to displace the collet means radially outwardly to permit compression of the spring 19 by tensioning the rod 13. A clip 33 serves to hold the rod in the extended position during connection of the device into the cable run and is released to place the device in service. |
