Abstract
A motion transmitting remote control assembly including a conduit movably supporting a motion transmitting core element. A fitting is disposed about the conduit adjacent a first end for attachment of the conduit to a support structure. An elongated adjustment member having teeth disposed on opposite sides of its four-sided body is attached to the conduit adjacent the other end and extends through a passageway in a support member adapted for attachment to a support structure. A locking member is supported in a second transverse passageway extending through the support member transversely to the axis of the conduit and has oppositely facing straight teeth in the upper portion of an opening therethrough whereby the locking member may be moved between a disengaged position with the adjustment member extending through the lower portion of the opening in the locking member, which has a clearance therewith, and an engaged position where the teeth in the upper portion of the opening in the locking member engage the teeth on opposite sides of the elongated adjustment member to prevent longitudinal movement of the adjustment member relative to the support member. Additionally, the locking me…
