Patent ID: 7526932

Claim:
A cable lock, comprising: a housing having a through-passage for a cable and a locking device for the cable; a clamping element extended in an initial position laterally at right angles to and into said through-passage and being deflected laterally in a locking position from the cable inserted in said through-passage and blocked mechanically against giving way, for locking the cable in a force-locking and friction-locking manner against being pulled out against an insertion direction of the cable, said clamping element having a side remote from the cable being mounted with play in an elongated-hole-shaped aperture extended in direction of said through-passage; an adjusting member mounted in said housing; a lock for receiving a key to permit rotation of said adjusting member for neutralizing the blocking of said clamping element in an open position; a linear radial guide extending transversely to said aperture, said radial guide being disposed parallel to said through-passage; a sliding element inserted behind said clamping element in said guide and said sliding element being displaceably mounted in a reciprocating manner in said radial guide; and a connecting piece linking said sliding element to said adjusting member, said connecting piece being linked to said adjusting member in an articulated and eccentric manner and to said sliding element in an articulated manner, and said connecting piece for reciprocating said sliding element in said radial guide; said sliding element being located behind said clamping element in said initial and locking position for blocking the play in said aperture, and said sliding element being displaced laterally by said rotated adjusting member and said connecting piece in said open position for releasing the play in said aperture.
