Abstract

In a clutch control device of the kind comprising a cable (504) hooked onto and wound around a rotatable element (533, 600) carried by a support (551), the support (551) comprises a bearing shoulder (10) for resilient moans (20) urging an intermediate bush (30) towards a coupling element (40) fixed to the cable (504). The bush (30) is telescopically mounted relative to the element (40) with the intervention of disengageable locking means (50) between the parts. The bush (30) is shaped to receive a second section (Fig 4) of a control linkage. The control device is particularly applicable to an automobile vehicle. The shoulder (10) may be replaced by a ring (Fig 9) bolted to the support and the locking means may comprise pawls (Fig 10). <IMAGE>
