A traction cable having a wire disposed to slide axially through a first sleeve and second sleeve, is attached to the first sleeve support of the fixed mounting bracket and to an actuator operatively engaged with the traction cable wire. A slider is also attached to the traction cable wire, is operatively engaged with the slider guide and adjusts the position of a flexible support element as it slides along the slider guide.
