Abstract
A Bowden cable for transmitting tensile forces is composed of an exterior flexible Bowden cable casing and an interior pulling element guided in sections within the Bowden cable casing. At least one end of the Bowden cable casing is fastened in the longitudinal direction on a receiving device of a stationary holding member. The Bowden cable casing can be mounted on and demounted from the receiving device with low force expenditures and in a simple and rapid manner. The casing is also securely fixed in the fastening position. An injection-molded-on end piece is provided on the end of the Bowden cable casing to be fastened. This end piece can be pushed into a receiving device of the holding member extending approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the Bowden cable casing and is fixed in the axial direction in this receiving device by at least one resilient supporting arm constructed on the end piece.
