Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting motion along a curved path by a flexible motion transmitting core element supported within a conduit. The motion transmitting assembly includes a flexible conduit extending from and attached within an end fitting and a swivel member pivotally attached to the end fitting at a swivel joint. A flexible motion transmitting core element is supported within the assembly. A sleeve surrounds the core element and extends from within the end fitting, through the swivel joint and into the swivel member for reducing friction of linear movement of the core element within the assembly and for providing a seal throughout the swivel joint. The swivel member includes a wiper cap for preventing foreign matter on the extended length of the core element from entering the assembly.
