Abstract:
Bowden cable for transmitting tensile forces comprising:an exterior flexible Bowden cable casing,an interior pulling element guided in sections in the Bowden cable casing, at least one end of the Bowden cable casing being fastened to a receiving device of a stationary holding member in a longitudinal direction,an injection-molded-on end piece provided on the end of the Bowden cable casing and which can be pushed into the receiving device of the holding member which extends approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the Bowden cable casing, andat least one resilient supporting arm constructed on the end piece by which the end piece is fixed, in an axial direction, in the receiving device,wherein said at least one resilient supporting arm includes respective resilient supporting arms,wherein the end end piece comprises an approximately prismatic basic body which surrounds the Bowden cable casing, a profiled foot section extending away from a bottom wall of the basic body, and said respective resilient supporting arms, which extend away from opposite side walls of the basic body,wherein each of said resilient supporting arms comprises a first arm section which projects beyond the basic body in the longitudinal direction and on which locally a molded-on detent nose is provided, andwherein the first arm section is connected in one piece with a second arm section, the supporting arms being swivelled into their release positions by pressing the second arm sections together.
