ABSTRACT:
A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path. The assembly (10) includes a conduit assembly (12) having first (16) and second (17) end fittings thereon for mounting to a support structure. A flexible core element (30) is moveably supported by the conduit assembly (12) and has a slug (34) secured to one end thereof for movement with the core element (30). A shaft (22, 22') is disposed about and retained on the core element (30) by the slug (34). The shaft (22, 22') defines a channel (32, 32') with an opening (37, 37') at one end thereof for receiving the slug (34) into the channel (32, 32'). A plug (33) is disposed in the opening (37, 37') to retain the slug (34) in the channel (32, 32'). A terminal member (36) is molded to the one end of the shaft (22, 22') about the plug (38) and the opening (37, 37') for connection to a controlled member. The assembly (10) includes a telescopic guide assembly (15, 15', 15") for telescopically supporting the shaft (22, 22') for longitudinal movement of the shaft (22, 22') relative to the conduit assembly (12). A method is also provided for making the assembly (10).
