Abstract
The remote control assembly,is characterized by a terminal mechanism,including a tubular anchor member,slidably supported on a tubular fitting,extending from the conduit,. The anchor member,is secured to the outer end,of a rod,extending form the core element,and is disposed in close sliding relationship about the tubular fitting,. The terminal mechanism,also includes a tubular connector member,and a coil spring,. The connector member,is in telescoping relationship with the anchor member,and the spring,biases the connector member,in an extending direction yet for provides lost motion between the rod,and the control member in response to a predetermined collapsing force. A resilient cushion,is disposed in the connector member,for cushioning collapsing movement of the connector member,over the anchor member,. There is also disclosed a method of fabricating the terminal mechanism comprising the steps of sliding a rod end,of the tubular anchor member,into an open end of the tubular connector member,, establishing an abutment coacting between the connector member,and the anchor member,for limiting movement of the connector member,to a fully extended position in relationship to the anchor member,, placing a coil spring,about tile anchor member,and the connector member,to bias the connector member,to the fully extended position from the anchor member,, sliding the anchor member,over the tubular fitting,extending from the conduit,, and connecting the rod end,of the anchor member,to tile outer end,of the rod
