A slide-n-snap in support fitting (14) for motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting motion by a flexible transmitting core element (12). The fitting (14) presents a pair of spaced inner (24) and outer (26) flanges for receiving therebetween the edge of a slot (18) in the support structure (16) and a pair of locking arms (22) extend in a cantilevered fashion a direction transverse to the guideways (20) and remaining inflexible in the direction parallel to the guideways (20) for extending over the support structure (16) adjacent the slot (18) therein while flexing about the axis parallel to the guideways (20) during insertion of the fitting (14) into the slot (18) and snapping back into mechanical interlocking engagement with the end of a ramp (32) projecting from the support structure (16) in the locked position in the slot (18) will react with the arms (22) in the inflexible direction, thereby providing relatively low force to insert the fitting (14) into the slot (18) while providing a relatively high retention force to prevent the fitting (14) from being removed from the slot (18). |
