The special feature is that at least one holding element (18) can extend through a passage (31) in a seat (28) in such a way that the pin (17a, 17b) can be moved by the holding element (18) from the pre-assembly position into the final assembly position and that, in the final assembly position, the holding element (18) is positioned in such a way that it prevents a return movement of the pin (17a, 17b) from the final assembly position into the pre-assembly position.

In a Bowden cable, a shield thereof is formed from a hollow strand that is formed by twisting a plurality of metal individual wires. An end part of this hollow strand is exposed by removing an outer skin and is increased in diameter, thereby forming a first flare part. An end part of a liner is also increased in diameter to form a second flare part. An end piece is injection molded so as to envelop these flare parts. A synthetic resin as a material of this end piece is made to enter between the metal individual wires. The end piece includes a mounting part and a bent pipe part for covering and surrounding an outer periphery of an outer cable in a state in which the outer cable is curved. The mounting part and the bent pipe part are formed as a unit by injection molding.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a slide block, the slide block assembly having a ball bushing bearing may include: a slide block which has formed at one side thereof a guide receiving part capable of receiving a slide guide of which at least a portion is formed as a linear section or a curved section; and a ball bushing bearing of which the inner surface is formed so as to correspond to the slide guide so as to be capable of making sliding contact with the slide guide, and the outer surface is formed so as to correspond to the guide receiving part so as to be capable of making rolling contact with the guide receiving part by means of a ball method.

A longitudinal adjuster (10), for a vehicle seat (1), includes a lower rail (12) and an upper rail (14) which is displaceably guided in a longitudinal direction (x). A bearing element (16) is arranged between the lower rail (12) and the upper rail (14) and is in contact with the lower rail (12) and the upper rail (14). The bearing element (16) has a locking device (20). A displacement of the bearing element (16) relative to the lower rail (12) beyond a predefined action region is prevented during a displacement of the upper rail (14) relative to the lower rail (12) if the locking device (20) interacts with an opening (28) which is arranged in the lower rail (12). This includes a spring section (24) of the locking device (20) pivoting into the opening (28). A vehicle seat (1) is provided having a longitudinal adjuster (10) of this type.

A handle assembly attachable to an object includes an auxiliary handle and a hook with a pivot arm pivotably attached thereto to define a passageway for the object. The pivot arm is pivotable between a first position, allowing access to the passageway, and a plurality of second positions, adjusting the size of the passageway to secure the object therein. A pawl, attached to the pivot arm, is movable between a first position, engageable with a ratchet of the hook, and a second position, disengaged therefrom. A shank extends the hook, and a clutch operatively couples the shank to the auxiliary handle. The clutch is actuatable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The shank is moveable relative to the auxiliary handle in translation when the clutch is in the engaged position and the shank is rotatable relative to the auxiliary handle when the clutch is in the disengaged position.

A vehicle seat includes a seat base and a seat back rotationally connected at a pivot. The seat base is rotatable about the pivot between a plurality of rotational positions relative to the seat base. A recliner disk is positioned at the pivot. The recliner disk includes a guide plate coupled to the seat base and a tooth plate coupled to the seat back. A plurality of bearings is positioned between the guide and tooth plates. The plurality of bearings and the guide and tooth plates are free of an internal braking mechanism. The engagement of the guide and tooth plates with the bearings provide for substantially free rotational movement between the plurality of rotational positions. The bearings also fix the relative axial position of the guide plate relative to the tooth plate.

A handle assembly attachable to an object includes an auxiliary handle and a hook with a pivot arm pivotably attached thereto to define a passageway for the object. The pivot arm is pivotable between a first position, allowing access to the passageway, and a plurality of second positions, adjusting the size of the passageway to secure the object therein. A pawl, attached to the pivot arm, is movable between a first position, engageable with a ratchet of the hook, and a second position, disengaged therefrom. A shank extends the hook, and a clutch operatively couples the shank to the auxiliary handle. The clutch is actuatable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The shank is moveable relative to the auxiliary handle in translation when the clutch is in the engaged position and the shank is rotatable relative to the auxiliary handle when the clutch is in the disengaged position.

A seat slide apparatus for a vehicle, the seat slide apparatus includes: a lower rail which is fixed to a vehicle floor; an upper rail which is slidably engaged with the lower rail; and a rolling element circulation unit having rolling elements and interposed between the lower rail and the upper rail in a state where the rolling elements are able to be circulated, in which the lower rail includes a bottom wall portion, sidewall portions, and upper wall portions, the upper rail includes a main body portion, and folded-back portions, the rolling element circulation unit includes a case having an annular accommodating path accommodating the rolling elements, between the lower rail and the upper rail, an upper rolling element circulation unit and a lower rolling element circulation unit are provided to be disposed at two positions spaced apart from each other, and the upper rail includes a pedestal portion.

The invention relates to a motor-vehicle accessory, comprising a first part and at least one second part pivotal about an axis (a) relative to the first part in at least one bearing assembly (20a, 20b), and the bearing assembly (20a, 20b) comprises a bearing pin (14) on which a bearing sleeve (22) is coaxial to the bearing axis (a), and the bearing pin (14) forms a head (19) with an axial retaining face (30). The particularity is that of the bearing pin (14) having first coupling formation that engages in a second coupling formation of the bearing sleeve (22) and prevents relative rotation in a pivot direction (u.sub.1, u.sub.2) between the bearing sleeve (22) and the bearing pin (14).
