The present invention aims to provide a coupling structure which facilitates work of coupling an end portion of a cable to an object to be coupled. The present invention relates to a coupling structure that couples one end of a first cable and another member. The coupling structure includes a coupling portion that couples the one end of the first cable and the other member, and a protection member that slidably houses the coupling portion. The protection member has a first opening portion which is provided at one end portion of the protection member and through which the first cable is inserted such that the first cable and the protection member are relatively movable, and a second opening portion provided at the other end portion of the protection member and from which the first cable is extendable. The coupling portion has an inclined surface that is inclined from the other member side toward the first cable side so as to abut on the second opening portion and guide the coupling portion inside the protection member in a state where the coupling portion is positioned on a radially outer side of the second opening portion when the coupling portion is relatively moved with respect to and housed into the protection member. Thus, the present invention has good coupling workability.

The invention relates to a locking aid drive for a motor vehicle lock, with a drive housing, the locking aid drive being coupleable in terms of drive to the motor vehicle lock via a Bowden cable with Bowden cable core and Bowden cable sheath, and a driving motor with a downstream feed mechanism for producing driving movements and a coupling element for transferring the driving movements being provided. It is proposed that the coupling element can be brought, in particular by means of the drive motor, into at least one coupling position in which said coupling element is accessible from the outside for the production of a coupling of the Bowden cable to the coupling element, and otherwise is inaccessible from the outside for the production of a coupling of the Bowden cable to the coupling element.

A park release system includes a park release handle assembly. The handle assembly comprises a base, a handle pivotally connected to the base, and a lock piece. The handle is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The lock piece is uniquely designed to selectively lock the handle in open position and to release the handle and allow it to pass back to closed position after the handle is pulled from lock position. The park release system may include a cable connector assembly. The cable connector assembly may comprise a first cable section connectable to a second cable section. The second cable section includes a housing having a slider within a passageway and below a flexible retention beam. The slider is configured to receive and connect to the cable from the first cable section.

A cable coupling mechanism comprises an operating cable, a first operated cable, a second operated cable, and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device has a housing and a slider, wherein the housing has one pair of guide surfaces, wherein the slider is configured to be rotatable around an axis perpendicular to a sliding direction and a width direction, and wherein both side edges in the width direction of the slider have curved surfaces to be convex toward each of the one pair of guide surfaces such that movement of the slider in the sliding direction is not hindered when the slider rotates around the axis. According to this cable coupling mechanism, it is possible to easily operate the two operated cables so as to synchronize the two operated cables.

A pallet truck handle assembly is provided, including a handle hinge seat, a handle control head, and a removable handle tube having a first end and a second end. The first end of the removable handle tube is removably connected to the handle hinge seat by one or more fasteners, and the second end of the removable handle tube is connected to the handle control head. The handle assembly further includes a handle control cable or handle wiring harness having a first end and a second end. The first end of the handle control cable or handle wiring harness is located proximate the first end of the removable handle tube and the second end of the handle control cable or handle wiring harness is connected to the handle control head, and the handle hinge seat has a support member that receives a chassis control cable or a chassis wiring harness.

To provide a cable joint including a joint piece which has an good sliding property and is hardly broken. The cable joint includes a joint case 10 and a joint piece 50. The joint piece 50 is provided with a locking part of a cable end and a cable lead-out groove 56. A joint case side main sliding surface 21a is formed flat, and a protrusion part 61 is provided on a joint piece side main sliding surface 60. The protrusion part protrudes toward the main sliding surfaces 60, 21a in a direction orthogonal to the main sliding surfaces. An apex part 61a of the protrusion part is located at a position corresponding to the cable lead-out groove 56 in the direction orthogonal to the main sliding surfaces.

A park release system may include a cable connector assembly. The cable connector assembly includes a first cable section connectable to a second cable section. The second cable section includes a housing having a slider within a passageway and below a flexible retention beam. The slider is configured to receive and connect to the cable from the first cable section.

A Transmission Gear Shift (TGS) cable socket including a rubber damper to couple a TGS lever and an outer cable to each other so a manipulation force of the TGS lever is transmitted to a transmission through an inner cable disposed in the outer cable, may include the rubber damper to damp vibration transmitted from the outer cable, a steel cup disposed coaxially with the rubber damper, the steel cup having a first end disposed in the rubber damper, and a second end protruding from the rubber damper and coupled to the outer cable, and a guide pipe disposed coaxially with the rubber damper, the guide pipe including a first end disposed in the rubber damper at a position spaced apart from the steel cup, and a second end protruding from the rubber damper.
