ABSTRACT:
A motion-transmitting assembly has a cable movable within a tubular sheath anchored on a panel. The panel has a keyhole-shaped aperture therein including a relatively large access opening portion which communicates with a relatively narrower slot portion. An anchor mounted on the sheath has a base wall adapted to engage against the face of the panel and a foot suspended from the base wall by a shank. The foot is smaller than the access opening portion of the aperture to permit insertion of the foot through the access opening portion. The shank is smaller than the slot portion to permit sliding movement of the anchor along the keyhole-shaped aperture so that the foot becomes engaged with the underface of the panel. The anchor also has an integral spring finger projecting from the base wall in a direction parallel with the direction of the sliding movement of the anchor. The spring finger is self-biased to be snapped into the access opening to engage with the panel and block retrograde sliding movement of the anchor within the aperture toward the access opening to thereby anchor the sheath on the panel.
