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.

A telescopic adapter device for a dredging machine includes a protective cover at an exit of a flexible shaft of a dredging machine, a connector detachably connected to the protective cover, a flexible shaft conduit with an inner end fixed in an inner hole of the connector, and a sliding conduit sleeved on an outer wall of the flexible shaft conduit, where the sliding conduit includes an inner end provided with a clamping joint for clamping the flexible shaft conduit, and an outer end provided with a bending portion; and a rubber jacket is sleeved on an outer wall of the bending portion. The telescopic adapter device for a dredging machine not only can prevent damage to a glazed surface at a corner of a toilet, but also improves a turning capacity of the flexible shaft.

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.

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 apparatus includes a housing that includes an inner space, an inlet connected to the inner space, and a plurality of outlets connected to the inner space. The housing allows an inner cable of a Bowden cable to pass therethrough such that the inner cable passes through the inlet, the inner space, and any of the plurality of outlets. The apparatus also includes an inner hub rotatably mounted in the inner space of the housing. The inner hub is configured to receive and guide the inner cable passing through the housing such that the inner cable forms a curved path about the inner hub. The apparatus includes a socket configured to receive the Bowden cable. The socket can be coupled to the housing at a plurality of different positions to select any of the plurality outlets such that the inner cable of the Bowden cable passes through the selected outlet.

A clip includes a housing with a passage opening and a closed frame where the housing is surrounded by the closed frame or the housing is a constituent part of the closed frame. The closed frame has two laterally running portions and the two laterally running portions are connected to one another by an arcuate portion which is formed opposite the housing. The closed frame has a spring action and is deformable elastically at a level of the two laterally running portions. A respective projection which protrudes from the clip and which is engageable at an intended assembly point with a hooking-behind action is formed on the two laterally running portions on an outer surface of the clip pointing away from the closed frame.

A casing cap is connected to an end of an outer casing through which an inner cable is inserted, the casing cap comprising: a main body portion having a curved guide path guiding the inner cable in a curved state; an outer casing connecting portion protruding from the main body portion at a one-side end in an extending direction of the guide path; and an engaging portion for engaging the casing cap with an mounting target, wherein the engaging portion protrudes from the main body portion at the other-side end in the extending direction of the guide path.

A parking cable has a plurality of plastic split type liners, which reduces frictional resistance between the inner cable and a conduit among the components of the parking cable. The plurality of split type liners is press-fitted and disposed to a desired position in an inner diameter of the conduit. The plastic split type liners may serve as a guide that ensures force for smoothly moving the inner cable and also improve in-line assembly properties. A method of manufacturing the parking cable includes press fitting the plurality of split type liners between the inner cable and the conduit.

A Bowden cable coupling for releasably coupling a first Bowden cable to a second Bowden cable is configured and operable to transmit mechanical forces from an activation element to a functional element. The Bowden cable coupling has a first coupling unit which is connected to the first Bowden cable, a second coupling unit which is connected to the second Bowden cable, and a coupling sleeve for connecting the first coupling unit and the second coupling unit together, wherein the first coupling unit and the coupling sleeve are releasably connected to one another by way of a bayonet closure.
