An exemplary clip assembly for adjusting a length of a cable includes a base including a tab and a first stop member, a cover rotatably coupled to the base, and a barrel assembly nesting within the base and the cover. The base and the cover define a first passage extending longitudinally through the cover and the base. The barrel assembly includes a first barrel member having a first interaction surface and a first threaded channel, and a second barrel member includes a second interaction surface and a second threaded channel. The first and second interaction surfaces form a barrel interaction surface and the first and second channels define a second passage through the barrel assembly. The first and second passages have a common longitudinal axis and rotation of the barrel interaction surface results in longitudinal translation of the cable through the second passage of the barrel assembly.

A cable conduit end for securing a cable to a cable abutment of a latch is provided. The cable conduit end having: a housing; an alignment feature incorporated into a surface of the housing; a flexible retention feature integrally formed with the conduit end, wherein the flexible retention feature is spring biased away from the housing to a first position; and a radial retention feature extending outwardly away from the housing, wherein the flexible retention feature is located proximate to a first end of the housing and the radial retention feature is located proximate to a second end of the housing.

An aircraft nacelle is disclosed and includes a first fan cowl and a second fan cowl. An opening is defined in an exterior surface of the first fan cowl. The aircraft nacelle also includes a blade, a latch mechanism, an arm, and a linkage assembly operably connecting the arm to the blade. The blade is moveable along between a stowed position and a deployed position. The latch mechanism is moveable between a latched position an unlatched position where a portion of the latch mechanism obstructs a path of movement of the blade. The arm is unable to move from an extended position where a portion of the arm extends through the opening in the exterior surface of the aircraft nacelle into a retracted position within an interior volume of the aircraft nacelle when the blade is in the deployed position and the latch mechanism is in the unlatched position.

A force-transmission device for an actuation mechanism of a movable vehicle element. The force-transmission device includes a movably held force-transmission element, a Bowden cable element having an end, an end piece fastened to the end of the Bowden cable element, and a stop. The movably held force-transmission element is held in a manner preloaded in a first direction into an end position by a preload force and is movable in a second direction opposite to the first direction in order to transmit an actuating force for the actuation mechanism. The end piece of the Bowden cable element is held against the movably held force-transmission element. The movably held force-transmission element transmits, in the end position, at least a portion of the preload force to the end piece of the Bowden cable element, and the end piece is held so as to be pressed against the stop.

A sealed latch assembly for a vehicle closure panel is provided. The latch assembly includes a housing having an interior sized for receipt of internal components of the latch assembly. A cover is attached to the housing to enclose at least a portion of the cavity. At least one release cable is configured for operable connection to at least one of the internal components. A cable bushing is attached to the cover. The latch bushing can have a coupling mechanism including a tab and slot arrangement for releasably coupling a body of the cable bushing in a receptacle of the cover. The latch bushing can have a retaining mechanism oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis for inhibiting disconnection of the cable bushing from the cover in a direction along the longitudinal axis.

An inside handle device for vehicle includes a handle unit and a cable unit. In the handle unit, an operation handle including a connecting recess is rotatably connected to a handle base. The cable unit is connected to the handle unit while holding one end of an operating force transmission cable in which an inner cable is movably inserted into an outer cable. The connecting recess is locked to a connecting body formed at a tip end of the inner cable in a state where the handle unit is connected to the cable unit.

A roller for a roller door has a roller bearing surrounded by a roller on the outer circumference and into which a bearing pin is inserted on the inner circumference, which protrudes in the axial direction from the roller bearing. The bearing pin has an inner part of a harder material and a bearing sleeve made of a softer material, wherein the inner part is pressed or screwed into the bearing sleeve. A method for mounting a roller includes injection molding a bearing sleeve made of plastic, inserting and/or screwing an inner part into an inner ring of a roller bearing and the bearing sleeve, and fixing the inner part to the bearing sleeve in a force-locked manner, and applying a roller to an outer ring of the roller bearing.

The object of the invention is a device (1) for axially fixing one end (9) of a Bowden cable (3), in particular a motor vehicle lock, comprising a housing (2), a Bowden cable (3), wherein the housing (2) has a receptacle (11), in which the end (9) of the Bowden cable (3) can be fixed, wherein the housing (2) has a means for introducing (12) the Bowden cable (3) into the receptacle (11) so that an incorrect assembly of the Bowden cable (3) can be prevented.
