Patent ID: 7201081

Claim:
A Bowden cable with a curved guide part connected to a fastening element, wherein the curved guide part is detachably connected to the fastening element by way of a releasable detent device, the detent device having an axial cylindrical end opening in the end area of the guide part which has a diameter equal to or larger than an outside diameter of a cylindrical pipe socket projecting from the fastening element, the cylindrical pipe socket is axially penetrated by a wire of the Bowden cable, the pipe socket has in an axially middle area on its outer circumference a radially outwards protecting detent projection with an outer diameter larger than the axial cylindrical end opening arranged to fit into the axial cylindrical end opening of the guide part to a supporting position in which the detent projection on the pipe socket engages in at least one of force-lockingly and form-lockingly manner in a ring-shaped radial indentation in the axial cylindrical end opening of the guide part, wherein an outer-most radius of the ring-shaped radial indentation has a diameter larger than the diameter of the axial cylindrical end opening, and at least one of the detent projection on the pipe socket of the fastening element and the axial cylindrical end opening in the guide part is radially elastic, such that when the detent projection on the pipe socket is axially inserted into the axial cylindrical end opening in the guide part, as a result of the elastic deformation of at least one of the detent projection on the pipe socket and the axial cylindrical end opening in the guide part, the detent projection engages the guide part at the supporting position.
