Abstract
A Bowden cable adjuster is self adjusting. This comprises a starlock washer (34) having prongs engaged with a tube (26) which forms a continuation of the Bowden cable sleeve, and which locks on that tube and allows only unidirectional movement when the prongs ease contact with tube. Release member (34) is displaced to the right in the Figure by contact with for example the end of the Bowden inner wire when adjustment is necessary and its other end displaces the prongs for release. Springs (44 46) keep the parts together and provide for the movement of the tube (26) when adjustment occurs.
