Abstract
A device (1) is provided for reversing the movement and/or actuation direction of an actuating cable (2) of a mechanism. A sliding piston (5) is arranged in a housing (3), which is fixed to the frame, so as to be displaceable in a sliding manner. The sliding piston can be displaced by the actuating cable (2). At least one actuating element (6) is arranged laterally on the sliding piston (5). A direction of movement of the actuating element is opposite to a direction of movement of the actuating cable (2) and the actuating element is mechanically coupled to the mechanism that is actuated.
Claims13
A device comprising:
- a housing having a housing wall, an open first end portion, a closed second end portion and a receiving section, said receiving section being located adjacent to said closed second end portion;
- an actuating cable comprising an actuating wire;
- a sliding piston movably arranged in the housing such that said sliding piston is movable via the actuating cable;
- an actuating element connected to said sliding piston, wherein:
- the housing wall comprises a groove;
- the sliding piston has a receiving section at least partially arranged in the groove;
- a receiving nipple is integrally formed on an end side of the actuating cable;
- and
- the receiving section comprises a nipple receiving space, wherein said receiving nipple is arranged in said nipple receiving space to define an interlocking and/or frictional connection of the receiving section and the receiving nipple.
A device for reversing the movement and/or actuation direction of an actuating cable to be actuated, the device comprising:
- a housing having a housing wall;
- a sliding piston arranged so as to be displaceable in a sliding manner in the housing, the sliding piston being displaced by means of the actuating cable, the actuating cable comprising a cable wire;
- at least one actuating element arranged laterally on the sliding piston, a movement direction of the at least one actuating element being opposed to a movement direction of the cable wire, wherein:
- the housing wall has a groove;
- a longitudinal extent of the groove extends in a longitudinal direction of the housing and completely penetrates the housing wall;
- the sliding piston has a receiving section at least partially arranged in the groove;
- the housing has a closed end on an outside of the housing;
- the housing is formed cylindrically and has an open first end and the closed end;
- the actuating cable comprises a sheath;
- the cable wire is led through a leadthrough arranged centrally in the sliding piston during the operation of the device;
- the sheath is supported on the sliding piston;
- at least one fastening section is arranged on an end side of the closed end and/or on an outer circumference of the closed end;
- on an inside of the closed end, a receiving section is formed in the housing;
- a receiving nipple is integrally formed on an end side of the actuating cable;
- on the end side of the closed end, the receiving nipple is arranged on the cable wire;
- the receiving section is formed in a manner corresponding to the receiving nipple;
- and
- the receiving section receives the receiving nipple in an interlocking and/or frictional manner.
A device for reversing the movement and/or actuation direction of an actuating cable to be actuated, the device comprising:
- a housing having a housing wall;
- a sliding piston arranged so as to be displaceable in a sliding manner in the housing, the sliding piston being displaced by means of the actuating cable, the cable wire comprising a cable wire;
- an actuating element arranged laterally of the sliding piston, a movement direction of the actuating element being opposed to a movement direction of the actuating wire, wherein:
- the housing wall defines a groove having a longitudinal extent, in a longitudinal direction of the housing;
- the groove completely penetrates the housing wall;
- the sliding piston has a receiving section at least partially arranged in the groove and connected to the actuating element;
- the housing is cylindrically shaped and has an open first end and a closed second end;
- the actuating cable comprises a sheath;
- the cable wire is led through a leadthrough arranged centrally in the sliding piston during the operation of the device;
- the sheath is supported on the sliding piston;
- on an inside of the closed second end, a receiving section is formed in the housing;
- a receiving nipple is integrally formed on an end side of the actuating cable;
- on the end side of the closed end, the receiving nipple is arranged on the cable wire;
- and
- the receiving section corresponds to the receiving nipple to define an interlocking and/or frictional connection of the receiving section and the receiving nipple.
