Abstract
A push-button actuator for attachment to a Bowden type remote control cable has a frame, a lever pivoted to the frame and connected to the control wire, a plunger reciprocable through an actuating stroke transverse to the control wire for turning the lever and thereby pulling the control wire from the cable sleeve, an exposed portion of the control wire extending from the cable sleeve to the lever transversely to the plunger stroke. The lower end of the plunger in its normal condition is positioned above the wire and moves to a depressed position below the exposed portion of the wire during the actuation stroke, such that the plunger is unimpeded by the wire in its stroke, allowing the cable sleeve to be attached on the frame at a location vertically intermediate the normal and depressed positions of the lower end of the plunger and thereby achieve a more compact push-button actuator assembly.
