Abstract
The present invention relates to a cable-operated actuating device for a motor vehicle, in particular for a transmission, comprising: an actuating means having a recess for inserting a coupling connector of a cable control, a blocking means which is radially displaceable in the recess and in a radially outer position permits an axial displacing of the coupling connector in the recess and in a radially inner position axially fixes the coupling connector against an inserting direction in a positively connected and/or frictionally connected manner, a housing, which receives a connecting point between the coupling connector and the recess, and an actuating means for radially displacing the blocking means, which can be actuated outside the housing.
Claims16
A cable-operated actuating device for a motor vehicle, the cable-operated actuating device comprising:
- an actuating means with a recess for inserting a coupling connector of a cable control,
- a blocking means, that is radially displaceable in the recess and in a radially outer position permits an axial displacing of the coupling connector in the recess and in a radially inner position axially fixes the coupling connector against an inserting direction in a positive connection and/or frictional connection manner;
- a housing that receives a connecting point between the coupling connector and the recess, and
- an actuating means for radially displacing the blocking means, wherein the actuating means is capable of being actuated outside the housing.
A motor vehicle comprising:
- a cable control with a coupling connector, and
- a cable actuating device comprising:
- an actuating means with a recess for inserting the coupling connector of the cable control;
- a blocking means that is radially displaceable in the recess and in a radially outer position permits an axial displacing of the coupling connector in the recess and in a radially inner position axially fixes the coupling connector against an inserting direction in a positive connection and/or frictional connection manner;
- a housing that receives a connecting point between the coupling connector and the recess, and
- an actuating means for radially displacing the blocking means, wherein the actuating means is capable of being actuated outside the housing.
A method for fastening a cable control to a cable-operated actuating device of a motor vehicle, the cable control comprising a coupling connector and the cable-operated actuating device comprising:
- an actuating means with a recess for inserting the coupling connector of the cable control;
- a blocking means that is radially displaceable in the recess and in a radially outer position permits an axial displacing of the coupling connector in the recess and in a radially inner position axially fixes the coupling connector against an inserting direction in a positive connection and/or frictional connection manner;
- a housing that receives a connecting point between the coupling connector and the recess, and
- an actuating means for radially displacing the blocking means, wherein the actuating means is capable of being actuated outside the housing
- the method comprising with the steps of:
- inserting the coupling connector in the recess;
- positioning the actuating means;
- and
- actuating the actuating means.
The method according to claim 14, wherein the actuating means is again actuated for verification.
