Abstract
A control cable system for interconnecting an actuator (21) with a slave device (12) and comprising two Bowden cables (24,25) each comprising a sleeve (31, 33) and inner traction cord (32, 34) and a cable connector (26) for interconnecting the two cables, one cable (24) connecting to the actuator (21) and the second cable (25) connecting to the slave device (12), the connector (26) holding the two sleeves (31, 33) in a fixed relationship with the two traction cords (32, 34) being interconnected via a connecting device (29) which permits movement of the slave device (12) and second traction cord (33) without transmission of said movement to the said one traction cord and which transmits movement from the actuator (21) to said second traction cord (33).
