Cable mounts

A throttle cable assembly adapted to be supported by spaced, apertured support panels comprising:

• an elongated cable;
• first and second cable mounts, each said mount comprising a tubular sleeve defining a central bore dimensioned to slidably receive said cable therethrough, said sleeve including means for retaining said cable mount within the aperture of one of said panels;
• each of said first and second cable mounts including an axial extension with a bore extension in registering communication with said central bore, said axial extension being dimensioned to be received through said panel aperture, and including one piece of a two-piece ball and socket connection, and
• wherein each said bore extension includes a reduced diameter bore portion forming a wiper in coaxial engagement with said cable;
• a first mating member including a second piece of said ball and socket connection;
• a second mating member including a second piece of said ball and socket connection;
• means for entraining said first and second cable mounts on said cable consisting essentially of an enlarged terminus at each end of said cable;
• and
• wherein at least one of said first and second mating members comprises a cover having a radially expanded body extending radially outwardly from the periphery of the aperture in one of the support panels to cover the aperture in the panel, and having an opening in registering communication with said bore extension.
