Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting motion in a curved path by a flexible motion transmitting core element movably supported by a conduit with support fittings at each end of the conduit for snapping into mechanical interlocking engagement in an aperture in a wall. Two embodiments of the support fitting are disclosed, one being manually removable from the aperture while the other is not. The support fittings include flanges for engaging the wall on the inserting side of the aperture with a generally U-shaped body extending from the flanges. Snap-in legs extend from the bottom of the U-shaped body in a cantilevered fashion to define a shoulder adjacent and spaced from the flange means for engaging against the wall at the opposite extremity of the aperture. Pilot posts are defined by the U-shaped body and are disposed laterally at the sides of the snap-in legs to define the ends of the body portion, i.e., the pilot posts define the four corners of the body portion. The removable embodiment includes a channel extending laterally across each of the legs to define the shoulder for engaging the opposite extremity of the aperture and tabs generally aligned with the flanges for disposition on the inserting side of the aperture whereby the tabs may be moved toward one another to remove the fitting from the aperture.
