ABSTRACT:
A motion-transmitting remote-control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting motion along a curved path by a flexible motion-transmitting core element (12) with a conduit (14) slidably supporting the core element (12). A terminal (30) has a bore (32) extending therethrough and defines oppositely facing first (32a) and second (32b) openings with the second opening (32b) disposed for connecting the core element (12) to a control member (24). An adjustment interconnects the terminal (30) and the core element (12) for adjusting the position of the terminal (30) axially along the core element (12) and includes a lock button (36) movable between an unlocked position extending from the assembly and a locked position within the assembly for locking the axial position of the terminal (30) relative to the core element (12). The assembly is characterized by a collar (58) locked in a shipping position by the extended lock button (36) for preventing the insertion of a control member (28) into the first opening (32a) and movable to an installed position for maintaining the lock button (36) in the locked position. Therefore, the collar (58) prevents an installer from inadvertently inserting a control member (28) into the first opening (32a) during installation and thereafter insures that the lock button (36) is fully in the locked position when moved to the installed position. The collar (58) is slidably movable along the terminal (30) for blocking entry into the first opening (32a) in the shipping position and for covering the lock button (36) in the fully installed position.
