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.

The present disclosure relates to an electrohydraulic brake module for a motor vehicle brake system, comprising a housing, a hydraulic module with a piston/cylinder arrangement for generating a hydraulic brake pressure, an electric motor for driving the piston/cylinder arrangement, and a transmission arrangement for mechanically transmitting a brake pedal deflection. Furthermore, the brake module comprises a sensor cluster. The brake module has a redundantly acting sensor system and mechanism.

A force transmission unit that has a rope, particularly a wire rope, and a device for introducing a force into the rope, that includes a sleeve enclosing the rope and connected to the rope under deformation. The force transmission unit has a connecting member which is arranged between the sleeve and the rope and formed from a material that has a lower strength than the materials from which the sleeve and the outer strands of the rope are formed and which preferably has a hollow cylindrical shape.

The invention relates to an actuating unit for a motor vehicle lock, comprising a motor element and a drive for moving the motor element, a Bowden cable connected to the motor element and a connecting element for the Bowden cable. The invention further relates to a method of production. The aim of the invention is to simplify production of an actuating unit having a Bowden cable. According to the invention, the connecting element for the Bowden cable is angular, especially L-shaped, and a leg thereof, in the case of an L shape preferably the long leg thereof, is connected to the remainder of the housing. The angular form or L shape and the connection of one leg of such a shape to the remainder of the housing of the motor element results in a large surface or a large peripheral edge of the connecting part which can be connected to the remainder of the housing. As a result, the connecting element can be firmly secured to the remainder of the housing such that the latter withstands the forces of a motor element even when the movement of the motor element is not limited with the aid of a microswitch but with the aid of the connecting element.

A connector end piece of a control cable from a vehicle transmission to a ball joint of a part of a gearshift or of a part of the transmission, where the end piece is intended to go over the cable and includes a radial window able to receive, by engagement, a cover having an inner threaded portion, where the cover is movable from a disengaged position to an engaged position in which it engages with a threaded end portion of the cable and locks said cable in position. The end piece comprises an end annular portion, coaxial with the cable, and receiving a security ring, said security ring being movable from an unlocked position to a locked position in which the cover is in disengaged position, the ring holds the cover in the disengaged position and prevents the cover from moving into the engaged position; and when the cover is in engaged position, the ring holds the cover in the engaged position and prevents the cover from moving into the disengaged position.

A control system (1) for operating a mechanical function is disclosed. The system (1) includes a lever (11), a housing (13) and at least one control cable (3). The lever (11) is pivotable and includes at least one seat (9) for receiving a first coupling element (17) of the at least one control cable (3). The control system (1) further includes at least one adapter element (23), and the housing (13) further includes at least one first recess (25). The at least one seat (9) of the lever and the at least one first recess (25) of the housing (13) include first and second open spaces (33, 35) that are aligned with each other in an assembly direction (37). This allows for a simultaneous coupling of the first coupling element (17) to the at least one seat (9) and the adapter element (23) to the at least one first recess (25) of the housing (13), along said assembly direction (37).

A drive apparatus for a movable roof part of a roof system, and a threaded helix cable therefor. The drive apparatus has a threaded helix cable, which has a driver on the end, by which the threaded helix cable can be connected to a drive slide of a displacement mechanism in a force-transmitting manner. The driver has a bent sheet-metal part which interlockingly surrounds the threaded helix cable.

Disclosed herein is an articulated support device. The articulated support device is formed to include a plurality of links connected to each other. A device stand is detachably coupled to the front end of the articulated support device and the rear end of the articulated support device is fixedly coupled to a structure detachably. The connection portions of the plurality of links are fixed not to move relative to each other or the connection portions are released to be rotatable relative to each other through an operation of a handle part provided on a front side of the articulated support device. The articulated support device includes a plurality of rotation and fixing units. Each of the plurality of rotation and fixing units includes a front link connection adapter, a wire central binding portion, a rotation regulation portion, a casing pipe, and an inner connection pipe.

A vehicle door maintains a pulling amount of a release cable without increasing the size of a cable pulling member, or degrading ease of operation of a door handle. The door includes a handle gripped by a user; a handle arm turned about a hinge pin with operation of the handle; a crank plate turned about a hinge pin with turning of the handle arm, thus pulling a release cable; and a latch device that releases a door lock when the release cable is pulled. The crank plate pulls the release cable by causing a contact surface, which comes into contact with the release cable, to move with turning of the crank plate. The contact surface is formed such that a distance from the hinge pin to the contact surface increases as the contact surface moves in a direction opposite to a turning direction when opening the door.
