The present disclosure provides a cable-controlled adjusting apparatus. The cable-controlled adjusting apparatus includes an adjusting element rotatably joined with the fastening element of a handlebar of a bicycle and a fixing element. A stopping wall is disposed on the adjusting element. A plurality of first grooves is disposed on the stopping wall. The fixing element includes a rod body passing through the adjusting element and an elastic element and includes a head portion pressing against the stopping wall. A plurality of second grooves is disposed on the head portion toward the adjusting element. A ball is sandwiched between the first and second grooves. The elastic element is located between a stopping member and the stopping wall. A cable passes through the fixing element. One end of the cable is fixed to the head portion and the other end passes through the fastening element and is connected to a controller.

A cable adjuster is provided for a small vehicle including a bicycle. The cable adjuster includes a base portion and a control structure. The control structure includes a first member, a second member and a clutch mechanism. The first member is configured to be rotatably mounted to the base portion about a first axis. The second member is attached to the first member to rotate relative to the first member. The clutch mechanism is configured to transmit rotational force applied to the second member to the first member. The clutch mechanism is also configured to prevent from transmitting rotational force applied on the first member to the second member.

An end fitting device is provided for axially adjustable connection of an end portion of a motion transmitting cable to an actuating member. The end fitting device comprises a housing having a receiving space adapted for receiving the end portion of the cable via a cable entry; a connector member comprising a ball pin receiver adapted for engaging a ball pin, and having an engaged state and a disengaged state; a locking element adapted for locking the axial position of the cable end portion relative to the housing and being movable between a non-locking position and a locking position; and a force bridge connected to the locking element such that the locking element is displaced from its non-locking position to its locking position when an engaging force is applied to the end fitting device in order to bring the connector member into its engaged state.

A control device for a human powered vehicle includes a base member configured to clamp a handlebar. The base member defines a clamping axis in a mounted state where the base member clamps the handlebar. The control device includes an operating member configured to be arranged by sliding movement on the base member between a rest position and an operated position in a circumferential direction of the base member. The operating member has a connecting portion to which a control cable is connected. The operating member is removably arranged on the base member, and the operating member is positioned on the base member with a tension of the control cable. The control device includes an inner member configured to be accommodated in the base member and to be arranged around the handlebar such that the operating member is at least partly arranged between the base member and the inner member.

A cable pull for transmitting a tensile and/or pressure force to a pivot point is presented. The cable pull has a counter bearing, a tie rod, an adjustment unit and a locking element. The counter bearing is designed to introduce a counter bearing into a casing of the cable pull, counter to the tensile and/or pressure force. The tie rod is axially supported in the counter bearing, and coupled to a wire core of the cable pull. The tie rod has a molded part on an end protruding out of the counter bearing, having a first component of a toothing. The adjustment element is designed to adjust a length of the cable pull between the counter bearing and the pivot point. The adjustment element has a guide for the molded part. The molded part can move axially in the guide, and is disposed such that it is guided transverse thereto. The locking element is designed to fix the molded part in place in the adjustment unit. The locking element is disposed in a recess in the adjustment unit oriented transverse to the guide, and can move between a locking position and an adjustment position. The locking element has a second component of the toothing, which is designed to engage in the first component in a form fitting manner when in the locking position, and to suppress the axial movement of the molded part in the guide.

An attachment assembly for securing a transmission shifter cable includes an outer frame and an inner frame disposed at least partially within the outer frame and axially movable relative to the outer frame. The attachment assembly further includes an attachment block disposed at least partially within the inner frame and axially movable relative to the inner frame. An axial displacement of the attachment block secures the inner frame to the outer frame to inhibit axial movement of the inner frame relative to the outer frame.

Cable splitter devices, assemblies, and methods of use are disclosed. A cable splitter device is disclosed. A cable splitter assembly includes a housing, a slider, first cables, and second cables. The housing defines a first number of first slots and a second number of second slots different from the first number. The slider is slidably coupled to the housing. The slider defines the first number of first channels and the second number of second channels. The first cables extend through the first number of first slots and have an end positioned within a respective first channel of the slider. The second cables extend through the second number of second slots and have an end positioned within a respective second channel of the slider. A clipping element may be configured to fix a longitudinal position of a respective first cable at multiple different locations along the first channel.

Methods and devices for tensioning a cable are disclosed. The device comprises a nut having two open ends, two bolts, each bolt having a central bore and adapted to mate with one open end of the nut, and two cable securement devices. The cable securement devices are smaller than an inner diameter of the nut and larger than a diameter of the central bores of the bolts.

A motor vehicle transmission cable attachment device includes a body having a slot receiving a pin in a body sliding direction transverse to a pin longitudinal axis. A member has a portion displaced at least partially into the slot when the pin is received in the slot, the portion thereafter preventing release of the pin from the slot. A lock supported on the body is moved between a lock disengaged position to a lock engaged position when the pin is received in the slot. A lock-out slide is moved from a first position wherein a lock-out slide portion is received in a lock cavity in the lock disengaged position to a second position when the pin is received in the slot. The second position has the lock-out slide portion positioned outside of the lock allowing the lock to be displaced to the lock engaged position.

A connector end piece of a control cable from a vehicle transmission to a ball joint of a part of a gearshift or of a part of the transmission, where the end piece is intended to go over the cable and includes a radial window able to receive, by engagement, a cover having an inner threaded portion, where the cover is movable from a disengaged position to an engaged position in which it engages with a threaded end portion of the cable and locks said cable in position. The end piece comprises an end annular portion, coaxial with the cable, and receiving a security ring, said security ring being movable from an unlocked position to a locked position in which the cover is in disengaged position, the ring holds the cover in the disengaged position and prevents the cover from moving into the engaged position; and when the cover is in engaged position, the ring holds the cover in the engaged position and prevents the cover from moving into the disengaged position.
