Patent attributes
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.
