The present invention relates to a roller blind system for a vehicle roof, comprising two roller blind assemblies, wherein he roller blind web of the first roller blind assembly is designed to be longer in the extension direction than the roller blind web of the second roller blind assembly. At least one compression-resistant drive cable is provided, a first section of which is firmly attached to a pulling hoop of the first roller blind assembly and a second section of which can be detachably engaged with a pulling hoop of the second roller blind assembly. According to the invention, a locking mechanism is provided, which has an elastically deformable clip-on connection, by means of which the second section of the drive cable can be detachably engaged with the pulling hoop of the second roller blind assembly.

A mechanism for use with multiple latches that are to be released by a single handle and by a single pull. A method for actuating multiple latches with a single handle and by a single pull. A release mechanism for use with multiple latches that are to be released by a single handle and by a single pull, including: a first member slidably received within a housing; a second member rotatably secured to the first member for movement about an axis within the housing and with respect to the first member; a first cable secured to the first member and slidably received within the housing; a second cable secured to the second member and slidably received within the housing; and a third cable secured to the second member and slidably received within the housing, wherein the second cable is shorter than the first cable.

A control cable connection structure includes a long, narrow casing, a casing end, a cable end and a slider. An end portion of a first conduit is anchored at one end portion, in a length direction, of the casing. An end portion of a second conduit is anchored at the casing end. The casing end is superposed and assembled with the casing in a radial direction of the second conduit. The cable end is attached to an end portion of a second inner cord. An end portion of a first inner cord is anchored at the slider. The slider is supported at the casing to be slidable in the length direction thereof. In the assembled state, the cable end is engaged with the slider at an opposite side from a side at which the second conduit is disposed, and the second inner cord is connected with the slider.

A seal structure includes an insertion path which connects between a first opening and a second opening and through which a longitudinal member is inserted; and a seal part, formed at the intermediate section of the insertion path, which contacts with the outer circumference of the inserted longitudinal member. A discharge path is provided on a side wall section of the insertion path, and connects from the side surface of the side wall section to a section, of the insertion path, which is closer to an inflow opening through which flowing water is likely to flow than the seal part is to the inflow opening. The discharge path is structured in communication with a gap, formed between the outer circumference of the longitudinal member and the inner surface of the insertion path, which allows for inflow of flowing water along the direction in which the longitudinal member is inserted

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 structure for fixing a shift cable comprises a protective tube for receiving the shift cable therein, a connection tube installed outside the protective tube, a damper installed outside the connection tube to attenuate radial and axial vibration, a main casing which is installed outside the damper and forms a clearance for assembly with a mounting bracket, a sub-casing which is detachably coupled to the main casing by means of an axial assembly guide portion, and a cover which is supported by means of an elastic member with respect to the sub-casing and is installed such that an axial displacement of the cover is restricted with respect to the main casing.

Cable splitter devices, assemblies, and methods of use are disclosed. A cable splitter device is disclosed. A cable splitter assembly includes a housing, a slider, first cables, and second cables. The housing defines a first number of first slots and a second number of second slots different from the first number. The slider is slidably coupled to the housing. The slider defines the first number of first channels and the second number of second channels.
