Claims9
A clearance adjusting mechanism comprising:
- a first member having an external thread;
- a second member having an internal thread screwed with said external thread of said first member;
- and
- a locking coil for locking the relative movement between said first and second members only in case of a predetermined rotation direction thereof, said locking coil being screwed with the internal thread of said second member, said first member having a projection which one end of said locking coil may contact.
A clearance adjusting mechanism as defined in claim 1 or 6 wherein said first member holds a cable assembly one end of which is connected to a clutch pedal of a clutch system for an automotive vehicle and the other end of which is connected to a withdrawal lever thereof.
A clearance adjusting mechanism comprising:
- a cap having in its longitudinal direction an internal thread;
- a collar having an external thread screwed with said internal thread of said cap;
- a coil spring for locking the movement of said cap relative to said collar by having said coil spring engaged with said internal thread of said cap when the diameter of said coil spring is enlarged by rotating said cap with respect to said collar;
- and
- a projection formed on the outer surface of said collar, said projection being adapted to stop one end of said coil spring so that said coil spring is prevented from rotating after said projection contacts said one end of said coil spring.
