Abstract
A cable mechanism has an adjustment portion which allows the cable length to be adjusted at assembly. A first movable lock member is provided to prevent inadvertent early adjustment of the cable length by stabilizing a lock member on the cable in an unadjusted position prior to removal of the first lock member. A second movable lock member is provided to maintain the cable lock portion in the adjusted position and to prevent inadvertent disconnection of the cable adjusting mechanism.
