Abstract
A remote control box for actuating push-pull cables is arranged for use with different number s of cables, using different numbers of the same, modular components. A housing includes two stationary side members with one or more modular intermediate assemblies supported between the side members. One side member and each intermediate assembly includes a suppport element with connections for one or two control cable sheaths and a control disc rotatably supported on the support element. The control disc is provided with connections for one or two control cable cores and a handle with knob for manually rotating the disc and thereby pushing or pulling the core relative to the stationary sheath. Sheath connections on the support elements and core connections on the control discs are connectable at a variety of positions to accommodate cables entering at a variety of angles to the control box, and for both pushing and pulling simultaneously for use as a relay station.
