Pivot-arm overtravel in a motion transmitting remote

A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10 and 110) comprising:

• a flexible motion transmitting core element for transmitting motion;
• a guide means for movably supporting said core element along a longitudinal axis;
• and
• adjustment means for allowing a change in the longitudinal length of two parts of one of said core element and said guide means along said longitudinal axis thereof;
• said assembly characterized by said adjustment means including a support member (26, 126) and a rotary member (30) supported by said support member (26, 126) at a support axis for rotation about said support axis in response to said change in the length.
• said support member (26, 126) being connected to one of said parts,
• said rotary member (30) presenting a cam surface (36) disposed at an acute angle relative to said longitudinal axis, a cam element (34) connected to the other of said parts and movable rectilinearly along said longitudinal axis to slide along said cam surface (36) in a wedging action to rotate said rotary member (30) in response to relative longitudinal movement between said parts to effect said change in length.
