A motion transmitting remote control assembly for transmitting motion in a curverd path comprising a flexible motion transmitting core element (12) movably supported by a conduit (14). An adjustment mechanism is disposed on the end of the core element (12) for adjusting the length of the core element (12) and includes a slider member (18) attached to one end of the core element (12) and presenting slider teeth (20) on the exterior thereof and a housing (22) slidably supporting the slider member (18) for movement along the longitudinal axis and adapted for connection to a control member. The housing (22) has a bottom (26) and an opening extending upwardly from the buttom (26) and surrounded by sides (28) parallel to the longitudinal axis and first (30) and second (32) ends extending transverse to the longitudinal axis and first (30) and second (32) ends extending transverse to the longitudinal axis and a locking buttom (34) is supported in the opening in the housing (22) for moving between an unlocked position in which the slider member (18) may slide freely relative to the housing (22) and a locked position in which the slider member (18) is prevented from sliding relative to the housing (22) The locking buttom (34) including release tabs (38,40) engaging the first and second ends (30,32) of the opening in the housing (22) for retaining the locking buttom (34) in the lcoked position in the housing (22) and for releasing the locking buttom (34) from the locked position in the housing (22) in response to forces applied thereto in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. |
