Title:
CONTROL CABLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000009895
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Reciprocating or push-pull control cable assemblies (10) have fittings (28) permanently attached, preferable by swaging or other mechanical deformation process, to the ends of a control cable (20) or core that reciprocates within an outer casing (40). The fittings have a projected width no greater than the inner diameter of the casing. As a result, the entire control cable, with fittings attached, can be pulled through the casing to remove the control cable for inspection, maintenance or replacement. The cable also have a unique combination of ball joint assemblies and excluder seals that effectively exclude contaminants from the interior of the casing.
