Abstract
A cable assembly for use in transmitting movement between an actuating mechanism and an actuated mechanism includes an adjustment apparatus for use in removing slack between the ends of the cable of the assembly. The adjustment apparatus includes an elongated fitting including a first end adapted for attachment to a conduit within which the cable is supported, and a second free end having a non-circular cross-sectional shape. A housing presents a non-circular bore sized for receipt of the second end of the fitting so that engagement between the fitting and the bore prevents the fitting from rotating relative to the housing. The fitting is axially shiftable within the bore between a plurality of positions to adjust the length of conduit extending through the housing. A button is supported on the housing for selectively locking the fitting in place within the bore and unlocking the fitting for axial movement.
