Two piece Bowden cable assembly with one motion connection and adjustment

A remote control motion transmitting cable assembly comprising a first cable sub-assembly including a first core element having a free end, a first guide length including first guide conduit positioned in surrounding relation to the first core element and a first end fitting positioned in surrounding relation to the free end of the first core element, and a second cable sub-assembly including a second core element having a free end, a second guide length including a second guide conduit positioned in surrounding relation to the second core element and a second end fitting positioned in surrounding relation to the free end of the second core element, characterized in that:

• the cable sub-assemblies include connector means operative in response to a single relative axial movement of the cable sub-assemblies to lock the end fittings together in a manner to preclude relative axial movement there between, lock the free ends of the core elements together in a manner to preclude relative axial movement there between, and adjust the effective overall length of the locked core elements relative to the effective overall length of the coupled guide lengths.
