ABSTRACT:
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting motion in a curved path includes a terminal member (36) for interconnecting an extending length of a core element and a control member (24). The terminal member (36) has a hole (38) passing therethrough in which a bushing (44) is disposed. The bushing (44) includes a passageway (48) extending completely through the bushing (44) between an insertion end (50) and a distal end (46) for connecting the terminal member (36) with a control pin (28) of the control member (24). The bushing (44) includes at least one slot (56a) oriented along the core element which enables the bushing (44) to flex transversely to the direction of the core element to release the control pin (28) from the bushing (44) in response to a force (F) applied therebetween when the control pin (28) is inserted into the passageway (48) from the distal end (46 ) of the bushing (44) instead of through the insertion end (50).
