Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element (28) including a supporting fitting (14) having first and second ends defining a first axis for extending through a substantially U-shaped seat (18) in a support structure (20). A core element (28) is moveably supported by the support fitting (14) for transmitting motion between the ends thereof. The assembly (10) is characterized by including a pair of spaced flanges (52, 52', 54, 54.degree.) supported about the support fitting (14) for allowing relative rotation therebetween and positioning the support fitting (14) in the substantially U-shaped seat (18) on the support structure (20).
Claims14
A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element while being supported in a U-shaped seat (18) in a support structure (20), said assembly comprising:
- guide means (12) having first and second ends defining a first axis for extending through the U-shaped seat (18) in the support structure (20);
- a core element (28) movably supported by said guide means (12) for transmitting motion between said ends of said guide means (12);
- abutment means (50) for positioning said guide means (12) in the substantially U-shaped seat (18) on the support structure (20),
- said abutment means (50) being supported on said guide means (12) for allowing relative rotation between said abutment means (50) and said guide means (12).
