  • Patent number: 5165298
    Abstract: A throttle cable linkage for a throttle valve comprises a throttle cam having a shaft opening enabling placement of the throttle cam on a throttle shaft of the throttle valve. The throttle cam includes a cable socket having a socket axis, an open socket inlet and a socket base. The throttle cam has a pilot trough and a ramp trough. The ramp trough has an interior ramp slot which extends along the length of the ramp trough and into the socket base. A throttle cable assembly includes a throttle cable and a cable knob. The throttle cable is sufficiently stiff so that control of a portion of it away from the cable knob can enable piloting of the cable knob through the pilot and ramp troughs causing the cable knob to fall toward the socket axis with the throttle cable falling through the ramp slot into the cable socket so that the cable knob is adjacent to the socket inlet.
