Patent attributes
A motion transmitting remote control cable assembly includes a conduit having first and second ends and a central axis. A core wire is disposed along the central axis of the conduit and includes first and second ends. A slide housing having opposing top and bottom walls, opposing side walls, and opposing first and second ends has a guide passage extending from the first to the second end of the slide housing. A slide member including opposing top and bottom surfaces, opposing side surfaces, and opposing first and second ends is coupled to the core wire at the first end of the core wire. The slide member is disposed within the guide passage and includes notches formed on one of the opposing side surfaces. A gear assembly is rotatably connected to the slide housing and meshes with the notches formed on the slide member. A torsion spring having first and second ends is disposed about the gear assembly and is attached to the gear assembly at the first end of the spring. Additionally, the torsion spring is attached to the slide housing at the second end of the spring for applying a biasing force to the slide member.
