Remote control assembly including side snap in

A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element (30) and being supported in a U-shaped seat in a bulkhead, said assembly (10) comprising:

• guide means (12) having first and second ends and an opening (14, 14') therethrough defining a first axis for extending through a substantially U-shaped seat (16) in a support structure (18);
• a core element (30) movably supported by said guide means (12) for transmitting motion between said ends of said guide means (12);
• abutment means for positioning said guide means (12) in the substantial U-shaped seat (16) on the support structure (18), an arm (36) extending laterally from said guide means (12) and said abutment means, gripping means (38) disposed on said arm (36) for gripping engagement with the support structure (18) and preventing said guide means (12) from moving laterally out of the U-shaped seat (16), said arm being flexible, said gripping means (38) having a neutral condition and a deflected condition, said arm (36) biasing said gripping means (38) towards said neutral condition from said deflected condition, said arm (36) having top and bottom surfaces defining an L-shape and disposed in spaced planes parallel to said abutment means (42, 44) and transverse to said core element (30) so as to extend laterally and then along and spaced from said guide means (12) to a distal end spaced laterally relative to said guide means (12), said gripping means (38) being disposed on said distal end.
