Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) for transmitting motion in a curved path by a flexible core element (14) and including a housing means comprising two tubular portions (24, 26). One of the tubular portions (24) is adapted for attachment to a fluid reservoir wall. A flexible conduit (12) is slideably disposed within the second tubular portion (26). The assembly is characterized by including sealing means comprising O-ring means and a conical swivel cover (34). In one embodiment, the conical swivel cover (34) expands in response to fluid contact to prevent fluid flow from the reservoir and about the conduit (12). In a second embodiment, an O-ring (18) expands in response to fluid contact to prevent such fluid flow.
