Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly including a core element movably supported in a conduit. A support member (18) adapted to be connected to a support structure and is attached to the conduit (12) and a slider member (28) slideably disposed in a passageway (24) extending longitudinally through the support member (18). The slider member (28) includes a plurality of locking teeth (62) spaced longitudinally along the slider member (28). The support member (18) also includes a closed cavity (38) extending from one side of the conduit (12) which supports an integral locking member (34) and a spring (36). The locking member (34) is adjacent the slider member (28) and includes a plurality of locking teeth (64) extending for a width coextensive to that of the cavity (38) and spring (36). The spring (36) is between the support member (18) and the locking member (34) to urge the locking member (34) into engagement with the slider member (28) for normally preventing longitudinal movement of the conduit (12).
