Abstract
A vise is constituted by a stationary jaw and a movable jaw, pivoted to each other, and suitable to be clamped onto a cable by means of the action of at least one spring. The stationary jaw is prolonged into a supporting pin for the vehicles, and the movable jaw is prolonged into a lever controlling its opening or closure onto the driving cable in cooperation with the stationary jaw. The spring acts between the supporting pin and the control lever to keep them open wide apart relative to the hinging axis of the jaws.
