Problems solved by technology

This existing solution is not preferred because the number of component elements is at least partly due to the number of cable parts, the cable end sleeve with one cable part and the support bracket, and splicing to Increased component price cost and manufacturing complexity due to required assembly / configuration process for cable conditioners in other cable sections
In particular, the use of multiple cable sections associated with cable end sleeves and cable adjusters also increases the complexity required for cable tension adjustments

Embodiment Construction

[0014] refer to figure 1 , shows the prior art of a cable adjuster for attaching a cable to a bracket via a conventional cable end sleeve and a cable adjuster in the middle of the cable. This existing solution is not preferred because the number of component elements is at least partly due to the number of cable sections, cable end sleeves with one cable section and support bracket, and splicing to other cable sections. The required assembly / configuration process for the cable conditioner in the cable section results in increased component price cost and increased manufacturing complexity. In particular, the use of multiple cable sections associated with cable end sleeves and cable adjusters also increases the complexity required for cable tension adjustment.

[0015] refer to image 3 and Figure 4 , shows the cable adjustment mechanism 10 for attaching and subsequently tensioning the cable assembly 22 connected to the frame 7 coupled to the vehicle body 11 , the closure p...

Abstract

A cable adjustment mechanism for connecting a cable assembly comprising a cable to a bracket is provided, the mechanism comprising: a connecting bushing having a bracket connector for attaching to thebracket, a first body interior for receiving the cable there though, and a cable connector for attaching to the a mechanism body of the cable assembly; the mechanism body having a second body interior for receiving the cable there though, a first end, and a second end for receiving the connecting bushing, the first end opposed to the second end, the second body interior defining an adjustment axis; a spacing member having one end for coupling to a cable body of the cable assembly and another end for coupling with the mechanism body at the first end, the another end opposed to the one end, thespacing member having a third body interior for receiving the cable there through; and a lock for retaining a selected relative position on the mechanism body along the adjustment axis in order to retain a resultant separation distance between the connecting bushing and the cable body; wherein the selected relative position is determined by adjusting a position of the coupling of the one end withrespect to the first end along the adjustment axis prior to locking the selected relative position by the lock.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to tension adjustment mechanisms for cables. Background technique [0002] Current solutions for attaching cables use conventional cable end sleeves and a cable adjuster located in the middle of the cable. This existing solution is not preferred because the number of component elements is at least partly due to the number of cable parts, the cable end sleeve with one cable part and the support bracket, and splicing to The required assembly / configuration process for the cable conditioner in other cable sections results in increased component price cost and increased manufacturing complexity. In particular, the use of multiple cable sections associated with cable end sleeves and cable adjusters also increases the complexity required for cable tension adjustments. Contents of the invention [0003] It is an object of the present invention to provide a cable adjustment mechanism that obviates or mitigates at least one of t...
