Abstract
A fitting is disclosed for brake cable assemblies including an inner cable member and an outer cable sheath, comprising a body member, and an annular seal member carried by the body member, characterized by the provision of an annular scraper device integral with one of the body and seal members. The inner cable member preferably includes a stranded metal core, and a synthetic plastic liner mounted concentrically about the core, the scraper device being operable to scrape impurities from the outer periphery of the inner cable member. In one embodiment, the body member is formed of a rigid synthetic plastic material, the scraper device being integral with one end of the body member. In one form, the seal is formed of a resilient material and is mounted within the body member; in another form, the seal and scraper are both integral with the body member. In another embodiment, the scraper device is carried by the resilient seal member which in turn is mounted within a rigid fitting body, such as a self-retaining snap-in assemblage, a metal turning, or a synthetic plastic body member.
