ABSTRACT:
A remote control system for a vehicle or the like including a flexible Bowden wire assembly having an outer sheath and a wire movably mounted within the sheath so as to expose proximal and distal ends extending from proximal and distal ends of the sheath respectively, a first actuator mounted for movement in a first location, a second actuator mounted for movement in a remote second location, the sheath being extended between the first and second locations and having the proximal end thereof fixed in spaced relation to the first actuator and the remote end thereof fixed in spaced relation to the second actuator. One of the ends of the Bowden wire is fixed to one of the actuators. The other end of the Bowden wire has an elongated member fixed thereto so as to extend axially therefrom, the elongated member has a series of axially spaced annular grooves formed in the exterior periphery thereof. A sheet metal clip is pivotally carried by the other of the actuators and includes spaced biting edges constructed and arranged to receive a pair of annular grooves of the elongated member to retain the elongated member in a selected position of axial adjustment with respect to the clip and against movement in the direction of extent of the wire.
