Actuator assembly for a vehicle door having a clip-on wiper for preventing infiltration of foreign matertal into the cable housing
A vehicle door includes an actuator for operating a latching mechanism. An actuator cable extends between the actuator and the latching mechanism. A cable housing slidably receives the actuator cable. The actuator cable is operable within the cable housing between extended and retracted positions. A cable bracket secures the cable housing to a frame member in a secured position. A clip assembly attaches to the cable housing and slidably engages the actuator cable upon operation of the actuator. The clip assembly engages the cable housing at a first side of the cable bracket and engages the actuator cable at a second side of the cable bracket.
SEAL STRUCTURE AND CONTROL CABLE UNIT
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
Vehicle door latch device
In a vehicle door latch device, ingress of rainwater into an outer cable of a Bowden cable is prevented. Vehicle door latch device includes: operation handle provided in a door; door latch mechanism attached in the door; Bowden cable having outer cable that is fixed at one end to the vicinity of operation handle and at the other end to door latch mechanism, and inner cable that is inserted into outer cable while being coupled at one upward end to operation handle and at the other end to release lever of door latch mechanism; and elastic cap provided at one end of the outer cable, having the corresponding one of cover portions in a cylindrical shape, extending in a movement direction of the inner cable extending from the one end of the outer cable, to cover the inner cable.
Transmission means for a motor vehicle latch and a motor vehicle latch
A transmission means for a motor vehicle latch of a moving component of a vehicle, includes a tensile element to transmit an opening command from a handle to a motor vehicle latch, a stop bushing to connect to the handle or the motor vehicle latch, whereby the tensile element passes through the stop bushing, whereby the stop bushing has at least a sealing mounting, whereby at least a sealing element is arranged at least partly in the sealing mounting.
VEHICLE DOOR LATCH DEVICE
In a vehicle door latch device, ingress of rainwater into an outer cable of a Bowden cable is prevented. Vehicle door latch device includes: operation handle provided in a door; door latch mechanism attached in the door; Bowden cable having outer cable that is fixed at one end to the vicinity of operation handle and at the other end to door latch mechanism, and inner cable that is inserted into outer cable while being coupled at one upward end to operation handle and at the other end to release lever of door latch mechanism ; and elastic cap provided at one end of the outer cable, having the corresponding one of cover portions in a cylindrical shape, extending in a movement direction of the inner cable extending from the one end of the outer cable, to cover the inner cable.
ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE DOOR HAVING A CLIP-ON WIPER FOR PREVENTING INFILTRATION OF FOREIGN MATERIAL INTO THE CABLE HOUSING
A vehicle door includes an actuator for operating a latching mechanism. An actuator cable extends between the actuator and the latching mechanism. A cable housing slidably receives the actuator cable. The actuator cable is operable within the cable housing between extended and retracted positions. A cable bracket secures the cable housing to a frame member in a secured position. A clip assembly attaches to the cable housing and slidably engages the actuator cable upon operation of the actuator. The clip assembly engages the cable housing at a first side of the cable bracket and engages the actuator cable at a second side of the cable bracket.
Guide wire seal for reamer irrigator aspirator system
A system for reaming a medullary canal of a bone, comprises a reamer device including an elongated member and a reamer head rotatably coupled to a distal end of the elongated member and a drive shaft sized and shaped to be inserted through the elongated member so that a first connector at a distal end of the drive shaft is engagable with the reamer head, rotation of the drive shaft rotates the reamer head relative to the elongated member, the drive shaft including a channel extending longitudinally therethrough and a hole extending laterally therethrough from a first opening through a first side wall of the drive shaft to a second opening through a second side wall of the drive shaft in combination with a seal configured to be inserted through the hole of the drive shaft so that the seal extends across the channel of the drive shaft.
Bowden cable sealing for a lock module
A motor vehicle lock module is provided for actuating a vehicle component which includes a locking element and a Bowden cable with a Bowden cable grommet and a core which is guided movably in the Bowden cable sleeve for the transmission of an adjusting force. The core is connected to the adjusting element at a first end. The Bowden cable sleeve can be received at least at a first end in an end piece. Furthermore, a one-piece seal is provided, which encloses the first end of the Bowden cable sleeve in a first region and extends in a second region via a region of the core emerging from the Bowden cable sleeve and sealing on the core is applied. The seal is designed to be pressed into the Bowden cable grommet in an end-piece-received condition in the first region from an end piece.
VEHICULAR LATCH BUSHING WITH CABLE INTERFACE
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.
