Abstract: A remote control assembly for rotating a throttle-valve shaft (18) rotatably mounted in a carburetor (14) including a control housing (22) having threaded fasteners for attaching the control housing (22) to a carburetor (14). A throttle conduit (28) is connected to the control housing (22) and a throttle core element (30) is movably supported in the throttle conduit (28) for movement in response to accelerator pedal inputs. A cruise control conduit (34) is connected to the control housing (22) and a cruise control core element (38) is movably supported in the cruise control conduit (34) for movement in response to cruise control inputs. A throttle pulley (40) is rotatably mounted in the control housing (22) and the throttle core element (30) is connected to the throttle pulley (40) for rotating the throttle pulley (40) in response to the movement of the throttle core element (30).

Abstract: A rotary control device which includes an output pulley housing and an output pulley rotatably mounted therein. A cable is at least partially wrapped around the output pulley and passed through a cable housing that is slidably mounted on the output pulley housing. The output pulley rotates in response to the movement of the cable. A spring mechanism is positioned between the output pulley housing and the cable housing to bias the pulley housing away from the cable housing to take up any slack in and tension in the cable. Furthermore, the output pulley or the input pulley or both can include a cam lobe or lobes formed on its periphery where the cable wraps therearound to control the torque output of the assembly.

Abstract: A cable strand end fitting includes a housing adapted to be attached to a mounting member and having a passageway extending therethrough. The cable strand end fitting also includes a screw member including a passageway extending therethrough, whereby a strand extends through the passageway and has a retainer member which abuts the screw member. The cable strand end fitting includes a structure for adjusting the tension in the strand.

Abstract: A cable assembly for rotating a member in response to a rotating input, including first and second pulley members and a conduit extending longitudinally and interconnecting the first and second pulley members. A pair of spaced strands extend longitudinally through the conduit and at least partially about the first and second pulley members. The first pulley member includes a slack adjustment mechanism for adjusting the slack in the strands.

Abstract: A manually operated and locked conduit length adjuster system comprising a cable adapted to be connected at one end to an actuator and at the other end to a device to be actuated, a first length of conduit adapted to be attached at one end to a fixed point and at the other end to a manually locked conduit length adjuster. The manually locked conduit length adjuster includes a plastic body adapted to be attached to the first length of conduit and having an opening through which a plastic slider extends. The slider includes annular teeth and the plastic body includes a locking member integrally hinged to the plastic body and adapted to be moved into position to cause teeth thereon to engage the teeth on the slider. The locking member has other portions thereof which engage the body for locking the locking member in position.

Abstract: A control cable conduit length adjustment device comprising an outer detent member connected to a conduit, an inner adjuster member extending into the detent member, the adjuster member having opposed sets of ratcheting teeth and the detent member having opposed detent pawls with teeth engaging the teeth on the adjuster member. The teeth on the adjuster member are offset longitudinally so that a smaller increment of adjustment is provided. A control cable extends through the conduit and the detent and adjuster members. Resetting of the device is achieved by rotating the detent member relative to the adjuster member to disengage the teeth on the pawls and adjuster member so that the members can be moved longitudinally relative to one another.
