Patent attributes
An adjustment assembly (32) for adjusting the tension of a cable (18) includes a housing positioner (40), an adjuster (42) and a mover assembly (44). The housing positioner (40) positions a portion of the cable housing (16). The adjuster (42) moves to adjust the position of the housing positioner (40) relative to the cable (18). The mover assembly (44) moves the adjuster (42) to adjust the position of the housing positioner (40) to adjust the tension of the cable (18). A portion of the mover assembly (44) can rotate in one direction to cause rotation of the adjuster (42) in an opposite direction. Rotation of the adjuster (42) causes the housing positioner (40) to move linearly to alter the tension of the cable (18). The mover assembly (44) can include a portion that moves between an engaged position and a disengaged position. In the engaged position, movement of the mover assembly (44) adjusts the tension of the cable (18). In the disengaged position, the mover assembly (44) is mechanically decoupled from the housing positioner (40) so that no adjustment of the cable tension occurs.
