Abstract:
A device (10) for longitudinal adjustment of a remote control in motor vehicles, comprising:a substantially bar-shaped component (12) that has an external profiling (14), the component being a tension or pressure rod, sleeve or bar, a base body (18) having a receptacle for receiving the component at least partly therein, at least one profiled segment (22, 24) movable on the base body between a locked position in which the component (12) and the base body (18) are rigidly coupled in the axial direction and an unlocked position in which the component (12) and the base body (18) are displaceable relative to one another in the axial direction, a hollow element (28) axially displaceable on the base body (18) from a first axial position to a second axial position for transferring the profiled segment (22, 24) from the locked position to the unlocked position, a spring (26) for biasing the hollow element (28) to the first axial position, a locking member (34) with two locking member positions (36, 38), wherein in the first locking member position (36), the hollow element (28) is held in the first axial position (30) by the action of the spring bias, and in the second locking member position (38) the hollow element (28) is held in the second axial position (32) by means of the locking member (34) counter to the action of the spring bias, and characterized in that the locking member (34) has at least one spring-elastic arm (82), connected to the hollow element (28), and at least one abutment (84) is disposed on the base body (18), wherein the arm (82) engages the abutment in the second locking member position (38) and the second axial position (32) of the hollow element (28).
