A device ( ) for length adjustment has a bar-shaped component ( ) with an external profiling ( ) which is received in a receptacle ( ) of a base body ( ). The base body ( ) has at least one profiled segment ( ) which, under the influence of an axially slidable hollow element ( ), is shifted into a locking position at a first axial position of the hollow element ( ), in which the base body ( ) and component ( ) are axially rigidly coupled, and is shifted into an unlocking position at a second axial position of the hollow element ( ), in which the base body ( ) and component ( ) are axially displaceable relative to one another. The device ( ) is distinguished in that a locking member ( ) with two locking member positions ( ) is provided, in which in the first locking member position ( ), the hollow element ( ) is retained under the influence of spring bias in the first axial position ( ), and in the second locking member position ( ), the hollow element ( ) is retained by the locking member ( ) in the second axial position ( ), counter to the influence of the spring bias (FIG. 2).

Device for longitudinal adjustment, in particular of a remote control in motor vehicles

An adjusting device for a push-pull rod (,) such as is used in motor vehicles between the gearshift lever and the tranmission. To achieve continuous length compensation, the invention uses a spring (,) to directly or indirectly effect clamping between the push-pull rod (,) and the housing of the adjusting device or a connector (,).
