ABSTRACT:
An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the axial position of a terminal (16) along the end of the core element rod (12) in a motion transmitting remote control assembly (10). A coil spring (24) normally grips the knurled end of the rod (12) to prevent axial movement of the terminal member (16) relative to the rod (12). A collar (34) is rotatably disposed about the terminal member (16) and includes a slot (36) engaging a movable end (28) of the spring (24) for moving the end (28) of the spring (24) circumferentially along a recess (32) in the terminal member (16). As the collar (34) is rotated, a first end (26) of the spring (24) is held circumferentially by a hole (30) and the spring (24) unwinds as the slot (36) engages and moves the movable end (28) of the spring (24) circumferentially. The collar (34) may be rotated about the female terminal member (16) to move the end (28) of the spring (24) circumferentially along the recess (32) in the female terminal member (16) to unwind the spring (24) as the circumferential groove (40) moves over the first end (26) of the spring (24) and whereupon the collar (34) may be moved axially to move the axial groove (38) over the first end (26) of the spring (24) to hold the spring (24) circumferentially in the uncoiled release position.
