ABSTRACT:
The remote control assembly 10 is characterized by a terminal mechanism 34 including a tubular anchor member 36 slidably supported on a tubular fitting 22 extending from the conduit 14. The anchor member 36 is secured to the outer end 30 of a rod 26 extending form the core element 12 and is disposed in close sliding relationship about the tubular fitting 22. The terminal mechanism 34 also includes a tubular connector member 44 and a coil spring 46. The connector member 44 is in telescoping relationship with the anchor member 36 and the spring 46 biases the connector member 44 in an extending direction and provides lost motion between the rod 26 and the control member in response to a predetermined collapsing force. A resilient cushion 48 is disposed in the connector member 44 for cushioning collapsing movement of the connector member 44 over the anchor member 36. There is also disclosed a method of fabricating the terminal mechanism comprising the steps of sliding a rod end 38 of the tubular anchor member 36 into an open end of the tubular connector member 44, establishing an abutment coacting between the connector member 44 and the anchor member 36 for limiting movement of the connector member 44 to a fully extended position in relationship to the anchor member 36, placing a coil spring 46 about the anchor member 36 and the connector member 44 to bias the connector member 44 to the fully extended position from the anchor member 36, sliding the anchor member 36 over the tubular fitting 22 extending from the conduit 14, and connecting the rod end 38 of the anchor member 36 to the outer end 30 of the rod 26.
