Abstract
A device for actuating a sheathed control cable comprises a push button wh is movable to apply a tension to the cable. An inclined surface rigid with the push button engages, via a ball, a traction member anchored to the cable. When the button is depressed the inclined surface displaces the traction member via the ball whereby the cable is tensioned. The ball rolls along the inclined surface during this movement whereby such movement occurs substantially without friction.
