ABSTRACT:
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) comprising a drive wheel (20) having a plurality of gear teeth (18) and rotatably supported by a drive wheel housing (12) and a driven wheel (16) having a plurality of gear teeth (18) and rotatably supported by a driven wheel housing (14) which is spaced from the drive wheel housing (12). A motion transmitting core element (30), comprising a flexible cable (31) having first and second ends (32 and 34) and a wire (36) wrapped helically about the cable (31) in spaced convolutions, is entrained about the wheels (16 and 20) and is in meshing engagement with the gear teeth (18) for transmitting rotational movement between the wheels (16 and 20). A connector interconnects the first and second ends (32 and 34) of the core element (30) for maintaining the core element (30) entrained about the wheels (16 and 20) regardless of the orientation of the core element (30) as the core element (30) passes through the housings (12 and 14). The connector is characterized by a first loop (64) attached to the first end (32) of the core element (30) and a second loop (34) attached to the second end (34) of the core element (30) and a single unitary link (68) extending through the loops (64 and 66), i.e., the loops (64 and 66) extend through holes (80) in the ends of the plate-like link (68).
