Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a flexible motion transmitting core element movably supported within a conduit. The core element is a stranded cable-like member having a first end extending from a support member secured to the conduit and supported by a support structure. A terminal member is disposed on the end of the core element and is operatively attached to a control member. The support member includes a male spherical end portion and a wiper means comprising a female spherical member is snapped onto the male spherical portion for swivelling movement. The female spherical member is in wiping engagement with the core element for preventing foreign matter on the extended length of the core element from entering into the conduit upon movement of the core element while at the same time allows the axis of the extended length of the core element to move in a conical area.
