ADJUSTABLE LENGTH CABLE

An adjustable length cable system that can be used in association with transmission of an axial pulling force. The cable system, which can be concealed within and/or behind a structure such as, for example, within an interior region of an entryway device, can accommodate adjustments in the axial lengths of a core wire and a conduit system of the cable system. The core wire can extend through, as well as beyond, the conduit system, and be connected to end fittings and/or connectors that can be used to transmit a pulling force to and/or from one or more components. In some embodiments, the conduit system can include an inner conduit telescopically coupled to an outer conduit such that the axial length of the conduit system is adjustable. Further, the relative axial positions of the inner and outer conduits may be retained by activation of a conduit locking device.

BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR A HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE WALKER APPARATUS
20170057473 · 2017-03-02 ·

There is provided a brake assembly for a height-adjustable walker apparatus. The brake assembly includes a brake actuator, a wheel-engaging brake member and a brake cable assembly. The brake cable assembly includes a flexible, inner cable. The brake cable assembly includes a flexible, outer casing through which the inner cable extends and is moveable relative to. The inner cable has a first end coupled to the brake actuator and a second end coupled to the wheel-engaging brake member. The brake assembly includes a brake cable housing shaped to enclose a slack portion of the brake cable assembly.

APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING CLEARANCE OF CLUTCH CABLE FOR VEHICLE
20170045094 · 2017-02-16 ·

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.

BICYCLE OPERATING DEVICE

A bicycle operating device comprises a base member, a cable control body, an operating member, a supporting structure, and an adjusting structure. The cable control body is configured to be pivotably mounted to the base member about a pivot axis to control a control cable. The operating member is configured to be movably mounted to the base member from a rest position to an operated position to move the cable control body. The supporting structure is configured to pivotably support the cable control body relative to the base member. The supporting structure is provided to the base member so as to at least partly intersect with the pivot axis. The adjusting structure is configured to adjustably position the supporting structure relative to the base member such that the rest position of the operating member is adjusted relative to the base member.

CABLE ADJUSTER

A cable adjuster has a main case, an outer casing fixing member, a number of sliders, and a locking member. The main case is configured to insert the inner cable in the cable axial direction. The outer casing fixing member affixes to an end of a pre-branch outer casing, which is the tube section of the outer casing before branching, to the main case. The sliders are arranged in parallel in the slots formed in the main case so as to slide in the cable axial direction. The sliders affixes to the ends of a plurality of post-branch outer casings, which are the post-branch tube sections of the outer casing. The locking member locks the sliding movement of the sliders with respect to the main case in the cable axial direction.
