A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a flexible motion transmitting core element (16) movably supported in a flexible conduit (12). The assembly includes a support member (22) adapted to be connected to a support structure (24) (such as a bulkhead) and the conduit (12) includes a slider member (32) slidably disposed in a passageway extending longitudinally through the support member. The support member includes a transverse guideway (36) in which is disposed a metal L-shaped latch member (38) having an aperture in one leg through which the slider member extends. The bottom of the aperture in the latch member has a tooth (48) which coacts with ratcheting teeth (46, 47) on the slider member. A coil spring (44) urges the tooth of the latch member into engagement with the ratcheting teeth of the slider member. A temperature-responsive slug (50) is disposed in parallel with the coil spring. The assembly is characterized by the ratcheting teeth (36, 37) on the slider member being of two different ramp slopes to provide an initial reduced resistance to longitudinal movement of the slider member (32) through the support member (22). |
