Abstract

The device, for connecting an end of a control cable to a control member, in particular to the gearshift lever of a motor-vehicle gearbox, includes: an outer body connectable to the control cable and having a through aperture; a bush insertable into the through hole of the body to be releasably locked in an assembly position; and a cover for closing the through aperture at the axially opposite side to that in which the bush is insertable. The bush is provided with resilient engagement means for cooperating with respective retaining members on the body so as releasably to lock the bush in the assembly position, and cam portions formed in one piece with the resilient engagement means. The cover is secured to the body for rotation about an axis of rotation coinciding substantially with the axis of the aperture and is provided with retaining means arranged to cooperate with the cam portions on the bush so that, upon rotation of the cover about its axis of rotation, the members cause the portions as well as the engagement means of the bush to deflect resiliently, thereby causing these latter to disengage from the retaining means on the body and allowing the bush to be removed from the body.
