RELATED REQUESTS This application is a partial continuation of the application in process serial number 08 / 561.405, filed on 11/21/95, which, in turn, is a partial continuation of the requests in process serial number 08 / 521,125, filed on 08/29/95, and 08 / 560,803, filed on 11/21/95, both in the name of the inventor of the present invention and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a remote control assembly of the type for transmitting movement in a curved path by a flexible central transmitting movement element and, more specifically, to such assembly that is fabricated in two separate axial parts that engage during installation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Such remote control assemblies are used in motor vehicles. For example, such a remote control assembly can interconnect the accelerator pedal and the fuel flow control system in a car. In many installations, the outer ends of the two halves have to be joined to a supporting structure before the conduit is terminated, for example, when the two halves are connected to two separate components of the vehicle before mounting said components in the line. mounting. Such assemblies are divided into a first guide or conduit that movably supports a first central element section, and a second guide or conduit movably supporting a second central element section with means for connecting the central element sections. For installation purposes, it is necessary that the central element sections are easily connected to each other. It is also necessary to easily connect ducts or guides. Such a assembly known in the prior art is described in United States Patent 5,039,138 to Dickirson. However, it often happens that the environment requires installing the assembly before the central element sections, and the conduits or guides are finally connected. To carry out this installation mode it is necessary that the assembly can be freely joined during such installation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention includes an assembly and method of assembling the remote transmitting motion control assembly of the type for transmitting movement in a curved path by a flexible central transmitting movement element and including a first guide section having ends internal and external, a second guide section having internal and external ends, a first section of central element having internal and external ends and is supported movably in the first guide section, a second section of central element having ends internal and external and movably supported on the second guide section, first and second elements disposed at the internal ends of the central element sections for connecting the first and second central elements, first and second accessories arranged at the internal ends of the guide sections for connecting the first and second guide sections, dispue terminal means These are located at the outer end of the first central element section for connection to a control element, the first accessory having a hole with a lower part and sliding the first element in the hole. The assembly is characterized by terminal means provided at the outer end of the first central element section for connection to a control element and for limiting the sliding movement of the first central element section to the first guide section in a stop position. Withdrawal, the first element being in overlapping relationship with the hole in the open end to prevent the first element from completely coming out of the hole in the retracted stop position.
The method includes the steps of fixing the first element to the inner end of the first central element section, sliding the first central element section in the first guide section to move the first element to the hole and extend the outer end of the first central element section from the outer end of the first guide section, and fix the terminal means to the end external of the first central element section to establish a retracted stop position to limit the movement of the first central element section to prevent the first element from completely coming out of the hole so that the first element remains in overlapping relationship with the first element. hole in the stop position withdrawn. Accordingly, the two inner ends of the central element sections and the first and second accessories can be temporarily arranged in overlapping relationship with the outer ends of the guide sections and the central element sections connected to control elements, so that the control elements can be moved to an extreme position to join the two accessories and the central element sections to connect the central element sections without union or immobilisations inside the guide sections.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference to the figures, where analogous numbers refer to analogous or corresponding parts in all views, a set of remote motion transmitter mounted according to the present invention is indicated generally at 10. Assembly 10 is of the type for transmitting movement in a curved path by a flexible central transmitting movement element, and, more specifically, a central element including a first central element section 12 and a second central element section 14. A first guide section with ends internal and external slidingly supports the first central element section 12 and includes a first conduit 16 extending between a first accessory 18 at its inner end and an oscillating accessory 20 at its outer end. A second guide section with internal and external ends slidably supports the second central element section 14 and includes a second conduit 22 extending between a second attachment 24 at its inner end and a supporting accessory 26 at its outer end. The oscillating fixture 18 and the support fixture 26 are constructed to be attached to a support structure. The first and second accessories 18 and 24 are disposed at the internal ends of the guide sections to connect the first and second guide sections, as will be clearer below. The central element sections 12 and 14 are connected by first and second or female and male elements 28 and 30 arranged at the respective internal ends of the central element sections 12 and 14 to connect the first and second core elements, which will also be clearer then. The first attachment 18 has a hole 32 that enters it with a length (and, as indicated in Fig. 4) that extends between a bottom portion 34 and an open end 36. The first or female element 28 is slidably supported in the hole 32. As illustrated, the first accessory 18 includes an inner liner defining the hole 32 and an outer shell disposed about and attached to the inner liner, but the accessory 18 could be a homogeneous element. The assembly 10 is characterized by terminal means disposed at the outer end of the first section of central element 12 for connection to a control element (not shown) and to limit the sliding movement of the first section of central element 12 to the first section of guide in a stop position withdrawn (shown in FIG. 5), the first or female element 28 being in overlapping relationship with the hole 32 in the open end 36 to prevent the female element 28 from completely coming out of the hole 32 in the retracted stop position. The female element 28 has a spigot portion 27 and a larger body portion to define a projection 29 therebetween. The bottom portion 34 of the hole 32 has an annular projection for engaging the body portion around the spigot 27 to limit inward movement of the female element 28 in a retracted stop position within the hole 32., as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6. The distance (x, as shown in FIG. 4) between the stop positions is less than the distance (y) between the open end 36 and the bottom 34 of the hole 32. An oscillating tube 38 has a distal end 40 and an oscillating peripheral end 42 supported by a concave spherical cavity in the oscillating attachment 20 for oscillating movement relative thereto. The end means includes a rod or shaft 44 attached to the outer end of the first central element section 12 and which includes an internal end 46 slidably supported in the oscillating tube 38 and a first terminal 48 disposed at the outer end of the rod 44 for connection to the control element (not shown). The terminal 48 may have any of the plastic configurations attached to the rod 44 and known in the art. The method of assembling or manufacturing the assembly 10 includes the initial step of fixing the female element 28 to the inner end of the first central element section 12, as illustrated in Figure 3. As illustrated in Figure 3, the end of the first central element section 12 is inserted into a hole in the female element 28 and then the reduced diameter shank portion of the female element 28 is crimped or stressed to mechanically grasp the first central element section 12, thereby preventing extraction of the female element 28 of the first central element section 12. This step can take place as a separate operation for providing the first central element sections 12 with female elements superimposed on them, or the superposition can take place by extending the first central element from the first accessory 18. Then, the method continues to slide the first section of central element 12 into the conduit 16 of the first section of gu a to insert the first or female element 28 into the hole 32 and extend the rod 44 at the outer end of the first central element section 12 from the external end of the first guide section defined by the distal end 40 of the oscillating tube 38. More specifically, the first or female element 28 is inserted in the hole 32 to engage the lower part 34 of the hole 32 to limit further movement of the first central element section 12 to establish an extended position, as shown in Fig. 4. and in solid lines in Figure 6. The method proceeds by fixing the stem 44 of the terminal means to the outer end of the first central element section 12 to establish a retracted stop position to limit movement of the first central element section 12. in order to prevent the first or female element 28 from completely coming out of the hole 32 so that the female element 28 remains in overlapped relationship with the hole 32 in the retracted stop position, as shown in Figure 5 and in dashed lines in Figure 6. This step is further defined as fixing the rod 44 to the first central element section 12 in a position outside the oscillating tube 38 to establish the retracted stop position, ie, the central element section 12 enters the rod 44 out of the oscillating tube 38 to curl the rod 44 in the central element section 12. The retracted position is established by one of the first terminal 48 contacting the distal end 40 of the oscillating tube 38 and / or the inner end 46 of the rod 44 bottoming on the oscillating end of the oscillating tube 38. As illustrated in Fig. 5, the first terminal 48 and the inner end 46 of the rod 44 reach contact positions to establish the withdrawn position; however, in practice, the terminal 48 will engage the distal end 40 of the oscillating tube 38 before the end 46 of the rod touches bottom or the end 46 of the rod 44 will hit bottom before the terminal 48 contacts the distal end 40 of the oscillating tube 38. In any case, the distance (x) between the positions of extended stop and withdrawal is less than the length (y) of the hole 32. The accessories first 18 and second 24 telescope to adjust the general distance between the outer ends of the guide sections, that is, the overall length of the assembly 10. A locking button 50 moves between an unlocked position and a locked position to lock the accessories 18 and 24 in a fixed axially fixed position to prevent telescoping movement relative among them. The first attachment 18 includes a recessed hole 52 entering therein, the open end 36 of the hole 32 being in the lower part of the counterbore 52. The second accessory 24 is slidably disposed in the counterbore 52 to effect the length adjustment total of the set defined by the distance between the outer ends of the set. The first attachment 18 has a cavity 54 that enters radially into the counterbore 52, and the locking button 50 is disposed in the cavity 54 to move radially between the locked and unlocked positions, only the locked position being depicted in Figure 6. lock button 50 and second attachment 24 have engaging teeth 56 and 58, respectively, for engaging with engagement in the locked position in order to prevent relative axial movement therebetween. The locking button 50 and the first accessory 18 also include cooperating detents for retaining the locking button in the unlocked position, attached to the first attachment 18, and the locked position with the teeth 56 and 58 in engagement engagement. The second attachment 24 includes a passage 60 that enters therein to receive the first or female element 28. Thus, the passage 60 has at least a diameter equal to that of the hole 32. An annular or toric seal 62 is disposed around the second accessory 24 for the hermetic coupling with the cylindrical walls of the reaming hole 52. The female elements 28 and male 30 include connection means for connecting the female and male elements in a connected position which mechanically prevents them from moving relative to one another axially in any address More specifically, the male element 30 has a male groove 64 and the female element 28 has a female groove 66, and the connecting means includes a clip 68 for placing it in overlapping mechanical relationship with both grooves 64 and 66 in the connected position. The clip 68 jumps to the overlapping mechanical relationship during insertion of the male element 30 into the female element 28. To facilitate this connection, the male element 30 has a conical protrusion 70 for guiding the male element 30 to the female element 28, and the The female element 28 includes a taper 72 which enters therein to receive and guide the tapered projection 70, the taper 72 entering the female element 28 from its receiving end into the groove or slits 66. The clip 68 defines a snap connector 68 for connecting the male and female elements 28 and 30 in response to their union. A second terminal 74 is disposed at the outer end of the second central element section, as shown in Figure 6. Once the steps for superimposing the female element 24 on the inner end of the first central element section 12 and bottoming the female element in the lower part 34 of the hole 32 to superimpose the rod 44 on the outer end of the first central element section 12 to establish a distance of travel (x) that is less than the length (y) of the hole 32, both halves of the set can be installed in a vehicle. So, the method then joins the oscillating attachment 20 and the support accessory 26 to the structure of the vehicle. The tapered projection 70 is merely placed at the entrance of the taper 72 with the second attachment 24 disposed in the counterbore 52 for free sliding or telescoping movement in the counterbore 52 of the first fitting 18. The terminals 48 and 74 are attached to elements of control, and the control elements are moved to an extreme operational position. This action pushes the tapered projection 70 to the taper 72 to expand the clip 66 until the clip 66 jumps into the slot 64 in the male element 30. This action simultaneously displaces the second accessory 24 axially relative to the first accessory 18 to achieve the length General operative of the conduits 16 and 22, position in the locking button will move to the locked position to engage teeth 56 and 58. The invention has been described in an illustrative manner, and it is to be understood that the terminology that has been used is intended to be descriptive, rather than limiting.
Obviously, many modifications and variations of the present invention are possible in the light of the foregoing ideas. Therefore, it is to be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, where the reference numbers are for convenience only and will not be in any way limiting, the invention may be implemented in a manner other than that described. specifically.
