Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly of the type for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element, the assembly comprising a flexible guide means or conduit, a flexible motion transmitting core element movably supported by the guide means with the ends thereof extending from the ends of the guide means, a support member for supporting the guide means, and locking means engageable with the guide means for controlling the longitudinal movement thereof relative to the support member. The locking means includes a plurality of resilient fingers supported circumferentially about the guide means by an annular ring wherein the fingers are held in gripping engagement with the guide means, the fingers contacting the surface of the guide means at an acute angle. The resilient fingers allow relative movement between the guide means and the support member in one direction while normally preventing such movement in the opposite direction. Release means in the form of a cylindrical member slidably disposed on the guide means is provided to disengage the fingers from the guide means to allow free axial movement in both directions.
