A cable coupling mechanism comprises an operating cable, a first operated cable, a second operated cable, and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device has a housing and a slider, wherein the housing has one pair of guide surfaces, wherein the slider is configured to be rotatable around an axis perpendicular to a sliding direction and a width direction, and wherein both side edges in the width direction of the slider have curved surfaces to be convex toward each of the one pair of guide surfaces such that movement of the slider in the sliding direction is not hindered when the slider rotates around the axis. According to this cable coupling mechanism, it is possible to easily operate the two operated cables so as to synchronize the two operated cables.

A control cable positioning, retaining and adjusting system, for mounting a sheathed cable assembly to a frame member, comprises a cable assembly housing having an axially extending, toothed region extending along at least a part of its length, a mounting bracket configured to supportingly receive the cable assembly housing and having an adjustment window to display the toothed region there-through. A cable assembly adjusting lever is mounted to the cable assembly receiver and has a first end comprising an actuator, a second end having a locking tooth extending therefrom and a mid-portion mounted to the cable assembly receiver such that the lever is pivotable thereabout, wherein the cable assembly adjusting lever is positioned such that the locking tooth engages the axially extending, toothed region of the cable assembly housing through the adjustment window or opening.

A utility vehicle throttle pedal includes a one piece molded plastic body pivotably mounted to a bracket, and having a face, an underside and first and second sidewalls between the face and underside. A throttle connect rod is positioned on the underside of the plastic body and has first and second ends entering first and second openings in the first and second sidewalls. A throttle cable is adjustably attached to the throttle connect rod. The throttle connect rod may be manually connected and disconnected from the throttle pedal without use of tools.

A cable decoupling mechanism is provided for a bicycle having an unfolded state and a folded state. The cable decoupling mechanism includes a housing; a shifter pulley arranged at least partially within the housing and configured to receive a shifter cable coupled to a shifter of the bicycle; and a gear pulley arranged at least partially within the housing and configured to receive a gear cable coupled to a gear mechanism of the bicycle. The shifter pulley and the gear pulley are mechanically engaged together in the unfolded state such that the shifter cable is mechanically coupled with the gear cable for mutual actuation, and the shifter pulley and the gear pulley are mechanically disengaged from one another in the folded state such that the shifter cable and the gear cable are mechanically decoupled for independent movement.

A telescopic transmission assembly includes first and second stage rods, and first and second stage casings. The second stage rod is of a hollow structure having inner and outer surfaces and a through hole, the outer surface being provided with external threads, and the inner surface being devoid of threads. The first stage rod is disposed in the through hole to drive the second stage rod to rotate synchronously. The first and second stage rods are telescopically expandable or contractible relative to each other along an axial direction. The second stage casing sleeves over the first stage casing. The first and second stage casings have respectively first and second transmission nuts. The second and first stage rods are in a screw-thread fit with the first and second transmission nuts, respectively. The second stage rod is positioned with the first transmission nut in the axial direction in a rotatable manner.

Systems and methods for brake cable adjustment are disclosed herein. In this regard, a gage block tool for adjusting a brake cable may comprise a body comprising, a first member extending in a first direction, the first member having a first length and a first thickness, and a second member extending in a second direction, the second member having a second length and a second thickness. At least one of the first member or the second member may be sized and configured to be placed between a stop and a lever of a brake valve, the brake cable connected between the lever and a brake handle being properly adjusted when the gage block sandwiched between the lever and the stop contacts both the lever and the stop while the brake handle is in a park lock position.

An apparatus for adjusting a clearance of a clutch cable for a vehicle is arranged to rotate a clutch pedal forward using an elastic force of a reverse return spring to allow a back surface of the clutch pedal be spaced apart from a pedal member, control a length of the clutch cable using a mechanical clearance adjusting mechanism, and secure a uniform gap between the pedal member and a back surface of the clutch pedal by adjusting the length of the clutch cable.

An assembly for adjusting a cable that includes a locking sleeve and an adapter that is connected to the cable. The adapter includes male and female-threaded portions that are coupled together. The locking sleeve is configured to be displaced between engagement and disengagement positions. When in the engagement position, securing devices of the male and female-threaded portions engage inner sections of the locking sleeve in a manner that prevents the male and female-threaded portions from being rotated relative to each other, thereby preventing a change in the length of the adapter so as to prevent an adjustment of the cable. When the cable is to be adjusted, the locking sleeve is displaced to disengagement position such that the securing device of either the male or female-threaded portion is disengaged from the locking sleeve, thereby allowing rotation of the male or female-threaded portions relative to each other.

A ball-bearing control cable comprising an outer sheath surrounding a central blade. The outer sheath comprises a central portion extending between two endpieces. Each endpiece comprises a tubular central body that surrounds the central blade, each central body extending from a proximal abutment secured to the central portion towards a free distal abutment, each abutment of an endpiece projecting from the central body of the endpiece, each endpiece including a resilient system interposed around the central body of the endpiece between an abutment of the endpiece and a ring, the resilient system of one endpiece being arranged between the distal abutment and the ring of the endpiece, and the resilient system of the other endpiece being arranged between the proximal abutment and the ring of the other endpiece.
