Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly which prevents connection of the outer casing members of adjoining mechanical push-pull control sections unless the inner translating core members are connected. The assembly includes at least two inner translating core members for transmission of motion and being detachably connected for allowing connected and disconnected positions. At least two outer casing members slidably receive the inner translating core members and are detachably attached by a coupling nut for allowing attached and unattached positions. A spring-loaded finger member having a flange portion is pivotally housed in a longitudinal cavity in one of the core members. A head member is connected to the other core member by an extension member. The first-mentioned core member has a slot which terminates in a radial bore adjacent the longitudinal cavity for receiving the extension member and the head member.

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly including a flexible conduit, a motion transmitting core element supported for axial movement within the conduit, antifriction members for engaging the core element for facilitating movement thereof, retainer members for retaining the antifriction members, and a race member disposed between the antifriction members and the conduit; the race member including a race portion engaging the antifriction members and resilient means for urging the race portion toward the antifriction members and the antifriction members toward the core element.

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly including a flexible conduit, tubular end members at each end of the conduit, load bearing members comprising a plurality of helically wound wire members surrounding a portion of the conduit and attached to the end members, a motion transmitting core element supported for axial movement within the conduit, antifriction members for engaging the core element for facilitating movement thereof, retainer members for retaining the antifriction members, and unanchored, freely axially movable race members disposed between the antifriction members and the conduit whereby bending of the assembly is relatively unrestricted by the race members.
