Abstract:
1. An actuating assembly, comprising a rotatable member and electric drive means for driving the rotatable member to rotate, the rotatable member being arranged for engagement with a cable arrangement which comprises a cable disposed within a pair of conduit sections and in use the cable arrangement can extend for connection with a pair of actuatable devices, the rotatable member being arranged such that it is operable to pull the cable of the cable arrangement on each side of the rotatable member upon rotation of the rotatable member in a first direction, and to extend the cable on each side of the rotatable member upon rotation of the rotatable member in a second and reverse direction, the assembly further comprising a pair of flexible reaction abutments one each of which is disposed on opposite sides of the rotatable member and to which a respective end of each conduit section of the cable arrangement is connected, the actuating assembly being arranged to be fixedly mounted and the reaction abutments being mounted for lateral movement relative to the axis of rotation of the rotatable member for equalisation of cable load transmitted through the conduit sections.
