Synthetic plastic end fitting for brake cable assemblies

An end fitting for connecting in an opening contained in a fixed support a brake cable assembly including an inner cable member and a concentrically arranged tubular outer sheath member, comprising

• (a) a tubular body member formed of rigid synthetic plastic material and containing a central through bore the diameter of which is at least as great as that of said inner cable member;
• (1) said body member containing at one end a first counterbore recess the diameter of which corresponds generally with the outer diameter of said sheath member, whereby the cable assembly may be introduced through said body member one end to a position in which one end of the outer sheath member extends within and terminates in said first counterbore recess, and in which the inner member extends completely through said body member central through bore;
• (2) said body member containing at its other end a second counterbore recess;
• (b) resilient annular seal means mounted in said body member second counterbore recess for concentric engagement with the peripheral surface of, and having an inner diameter corresponding with the diameter of, said inner cable member;
• and
• (c) cover means for retaining said seal means in said second counterbore recess, said cover means including
• (1) a cover member containing a central opening for receiving the inner cable member;
• and
• (2) means defining a snap-fit connection between one end of said cover member and said body member other end.
