ABSTRACT:
An improved assembly and method for the adjustment of a casing of the type having a cable slideably mounted therein to remove excess slack from the casing. The cable and casing circuitously extend between a lever of a vehicle temperature control module and a temperature control door movably mounted on a forward bulkhead of the vehicle. A first mounting member is attached adjacent to the control module lever and contains a first tang ring for slideably receiving a movable end of the casing. A second mounting member immovably mounts the other end of the casing adjacent to the bulkhead door. The first tang ring permits movement of the movable end of the casing therethrough in a first direction for removing slack from the casing, upon a predetermined amount of force being exerted on the casing by manual adjustment of the control module lever in a predetermined direction. The first tang ring maintains the casing in an adjusted position by restraining movement thereof in a second direction opposite to the first direction. A movable locking member contains a second tang ring and is slideably mounted on the casing adjacent to and spaced from the first mounting member. After movement of the casing in the first direction to its adjusted position, the locking member is manually moved into abutment with the first mounting member so that the casing subsequently is restrained from additional movement in the first direction by the tang ring of the locking member.
