Patent ID: 6957793

Claim:
A contact support suitable for mounting on a cycle brake control cable, the support comprising: a first portion which is fixed relative to a cycle frame, said first portion having a first contact surface; a second portion which is movable relative to the cycle frame, and suitable for being secured to the cable, said second portion presenting a second contact surface; wherein the support comprises connection means between the first portion and the second portion, said connection means being suitable for being deformed elastically between: an extreme relaxed state for the support in which the contact surfaces are spaced apart from each other; and a tensioned state for the support in which the contact surfaces press against each other, the connection means then being elastically deformed; wherein two plane faces respectively supporting the first and second contact surfaces face each other and are substantially parallel when the support is in the released position; and wherein the contact support comprises three substantially identical plates in the form of disks each pierced by a respective through hole, which holes are in alignment to pass the cable, said disks being interconnected by deformable strips in the form of arches.
