Abstract
A device is placed between an end of a control wire which operates a clutch device of an automobile and an operating device, in order to automatically eliminate slack and excessive tension in the control wire. A first link is connected to the wire. A second link is connected to an operating device for linear movement relative to the first link. An adjusting spring is provided for resiliently urging the first link in a wire-pulling direction. A locking structure is provided for combining the two links with each other and releasing the combining state thereof when the operating device is situated at a region near a return-end-point.
