- the aforementioned self-adjusting device is intended to absorb, for each particular vehicle, the tolerance which, in terms of length, requires the sheathed cable portion of the control cable to achieve adequate transmission of forces and movements. Adjustment of the length of the sheathed cable portion is carried out, as detailed below, once the control cable has been conveniently attached at both ends to the command and / or control means (which can be a lever, a pedal , or a control arm) and to the governed device (which can be a motor vehicle carburetor, a lock, or any other remotely operated mechanism), respectively, and one.
- the command and / or control means which can be a lever, a pedal , or a control arm
- the governed device which can be a motor vehicle carburetor, a lock, or any other remotely operated mechanism
- known embodiments of self-adjusting devices comprise the following elements: a base body that has means for anchoring to the structure of the vehicle; a regulating rod that is firmly connected at one end to the corresponding end of the control cable sheath and from which the steel cable can be slid; a regulating spring which, of origin, is supplied compressed at a predetermined value; and, retention means of the regulating rod that are manually operated.
- the adjustment of the length of the cable portion sheathed by the self-adjusting devices described in the preceding paragraph is carried out, in general, in the manner detailed below.
- the control cable mounted on the motor vehicle and said command and / or control means and device governed in the pre-set operating conditions first of all, the manual release is carried out.
- the control rod for regulating the action of the retention means of the self-adjusting device so that the rod, driven by the regulating spring, goes into an adjustment position in which the elastic reaction of the sheathed cable portion when subjected to compression equals the reaction of the regulating spring, at which time the length of the sheathed cable portion is adjusted.
- the adjustment position reached by the regulating rod is also manually set again by operating again the retention means of the self-adjusting device.
- the device disclosed by Spanish patent P 9001269 which comprises the elements described above in addition to those that are characteristic of it.
- the device according to the Spanish patent P 9001269 has manual actuation means of the retention means that are constituted by an axis provided with a transverse extension that allows the user to perform the maneuvers of release and / or retention of the regulation rod during the operations for adjusting the length of the sheathed cable portion.
- a new self-adjusting device of the length of control cables is disclosed which is of particular application in control cables whose path between the command and / or control means and the self-adjusting device itself is very sinuous, that is, it has a relatively high number of changes in direction and curved sections.
- the self-adjusting device comprises a base body and a regulating rod.
- the base body has retention means that act on the regulating rod and means for its firm anchorage to a fixed point of the vehicle structure.
- the regulating rod is essentially cylindrical in shape and is firmly connected by one of its ends to the corresponding end of the sheath of the sheathed cable portion, which rod has an axial through hole through which the steel cable devoid of sheath can slide and, externally, it has a retention filleting.
- the above described on the base body and the regulating rod is well known and forms part or all of the known embodiments of self-adjusting devices. Dores for control cables.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that the base body, which is obtained from plastic material of suitable mechanical strength and flexibility, is unipieza and has essentially elongated hollow cylindrical shape that, at one of its ends, has a cover provided of a through axial hole through which the steel cable devoid of sheath can be slid, and, at the opposite end, which is open, has the retention means that permanently act on the regulating rod, which base body It is sized so that the regulating rod can be slid tightly inside.
- the retaining means of the base body comprise two diametrically opposed longitudinal extensions that keep symmetry with each other and whose respective ends have, internally, a retention thread, which is sized in correspondence with the retention thread of the regulating rod, and, externally, an orthogonal extension, the respective ends of said two orthogonal extensions being linked by a circular clamping ring that is coaxial to the base body.
- Another feature of the device according to the invention consists in that the retention fillets of the two longitudinal extensions of the retention means of the base body and of the regulating rod, respectively, have a trapecial transverse profile.

- the fillets of the longitudinal extensions and the rod are coupled without exerting pressure on each other.
- the reaction by elastic deformation of said extensions and of the circular ring is caused by the action that the filleting of the rod exerts on the filleting of said extensions.
- the thrust that the cable sheath transmits to the rod causes the inclined sides of the fillet of the rod that are facing the base body to press on the corresponding inclined sides of the fillets of said two extensions, so that , if this pressure is sufficiently high, it will cause the fillet to slide of the rod over the filleting of the longitudinal extensions given the consequent elastic deformation thereof and of the circular ring, and the rod will be introduced into the base body.
- the control cable When, due to maintenance and / or repair needs of the motor vehicle, the control cable must be removed from its location, the user must simply press on the circular clamping ring of the device retention means and so that it releases the filleting of the rod of the filleting action of the two longitudinal extensions of the base body and, manually, removing said rod from the base body to the extent corresponding to the initial or delivery position of the self-adjusting device.
- the control cable is arranged in the initial supply conditions, at which point the control cable can be removed from its location in the vehicle.
- the characteristics of the self-adjusting device according to the invention provide a new solution to the drawbacks described above and which affect the known embodiments of self-adjusting devices of the length of control cables.
- the structural simplicity of the device according to the invention, and in particular the reduced number of elements that compose it reduces its production costs with respect to the aforementioned known embodiments, and, on the other hand, the adjustment of the portion of cable wrapped in the control cable does not require user intervention on the self-adjusting device, which reduces the costs of mounting the device on the vehicle.
