Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element (12) movably supported by a conduit (18) with a fitting (20) supporting the assembly in a U-shaped seat (14) in a bulkhead (16). A pair of flanges (22 and 24) position the fitting (20) in the U-shaped seat (14) and an L-shaped arm (30) is alligned with one of the flanges (22) for disposing a locking projection (32) in a hole (34) in the bulkhead (16) to prevent the fitting (20) from moving out of the U-shaped seat (14). The assembly is characterized by a lock tab (38) hingedly supported on the fitting (20) for movement between an unlocked position, to allow movement of the L-shaped arm (30) to the deflected position, and a locked position, to prevent the L-shaped arm (30) from moving out of gripping engagement with the bulkhead (16).
