Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element includes a conduit (14), a motion transmitting core element (12) movably supported by the conduit (14), and a support fitting (16) for supporting the conduit (14) through an aperture (18) of a support structure (20). The support fitting (16) includes a body portion (22) and an integral radially extending abutment (24) extending from the body portion (22) for abutting one extremity of the aperture (18). The support fitting (16) further includes a second integral abutment comprising a pair of stubs (26) extending from the body portion (22) and formed by the body portion having had a pair of legs (28) extending therefrom broken off. The instant invention is characterized by a substantially U-shaped retaining member (30) removably slidably mounted on the body portion (22) and having a first surface (32) engaging the pair of stubs ( 26) and a second opposite surface (34) for engaging the other extremity of the aperture (18) for retaining an otherwise nonreuseable support fitting (16) within the aperture (18).
