Bowden cable setup [105]: bendable but not stretchable element (6) on which two anchor points (4,5) are mounted between which the cable housing, sheath or conduit (3) for a cable (1,2) is placed so that any pull along the cable will forcedly press the endings of the sheath/conduit/housing (3) firmly into the anchor points (4,5) which as a design principle requires that the distance between the anchorpoints (4,5) is always smaller than the length of the conduit (3)
