Abstract: A motion-transmitting remote control assembly having a support means (22) for moving through and engaging opposite extremites of an aperture (24). The support means (22) includes a body portion (40) and a pair of legs (26) extending from the body portion (40). The legs (26) include grooves (38) to engage a wall as the legs (26) extend in a cantilevered fashion towards the aperture (24). The legs (26) further include release tabs (36) for moving the legs (26) radially inwardly towards the body portion (40) to disengage the legs (26) from the wall to remove the support means (22) from the aperture (24).

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly including a conduit and a core element movably supported by the conduit and extending therefrom to provide a variable extending length of the core element between the conduit and one end of the core element. The extending length defines a line of force. An integral terminal member is disposed on the extended length for operatively interconnecting the core element to a control member to translate movement therebetween along the line of force. The terminal member includes a pocket extending therein and defining an axis perpendicular to the line of force. The pocket includes lips extending radially therein for retaining a ball pin of the control member within the pocket and is characterized by the terminal member including a plurality of slots extending radially from the axis defined by the pocket at an angle relative to the line of force.

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) for transmitting motion in a curved path including a tube member (14) and a rod (18) movably supported by the tube member (14) and extending therefrom to provide a variable extending length of the rod member (18) between the tube member (14) and one end (20) thereof to define a line of force. An integral terminal member (22) operatively interconnects the extending length of the rod member (18) and a control member (24). The terminal member (22) has an opening (36) therethrough defining an axis which is perpendicular relative to the line of force. The assembly (10) is characterized by the terminal member (22) including a resilient vibration dampening member (38) totally encapsulated therein and defining a portion of the opening (36) and including a retaining pocket for retaining a portion (32) of the control member (24) therein.
