Remote control assembly with improved isolator

A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting motion in a curved path by a flexible motion transmitting core element, said assembly comprising;

• a flexible motion transmitting core element (12), guide means for movably supporting said core element (12) and having an end, said core element (12) extending through the end of said guide means, support means (14) for supporting said guide means on a support structure, resilient vibration dampening means (16) disposed between said support means (14) and said guide means for providing noise and vibration isolation therebetween, mechanical interlocking means for preventing disassembly of said vibration dampening means (16) from said support means (14) and said guide means axially thereof and for maintaining said vibration dampening means (16) free of radial compressive forces, said mechanical interlocking means including retentive tabs (3) extending radially outwardly from said vibration dampening means (16) and openings (34) extending radially outwardly through said support means (14) and aligned with said tabs (30) on said vibration dampening means (16) for mechanical interlocking engagement with said vibration dampening means (16) within said support means (14) to prevent disassembly of said vibration dampening means (16) from said support means (14) and for maintaining said vibration dampening means (16) free of radial compressive forces.
