Abstract
A connector and diaphragm assembly can be interchangeably used in either of two types of vacuum-actuated automobile control systems. The connector which is seated in the closed end of a bell-shaped diaphragm is, in turn, connected to one of two types of linking elements that operate the control system. Deflating the diaphragm moves the connector thereby moving a linking element into one of two positions. The connector has a recessed neck portion and a head with a threaded hole therein. In a first automobile control mechanism, the recessed neck receives a forked linking element. In a second automobile control mechanism, the threaded opening of the connector receives a threaded rod which serves as the linking element. The same connector can be interchangeably employed with either type of linking element.
