A seat dropper remote device has a base portion, central portion and paddle portion. The base portion has a mounting plate for mounting to a bar clamp on a bicycle handlebar and a base bolt hole. The mounting plate has a mounting slot to receive a mounting bolt. The central portion is connected with the base portion, receives an actuation cable, and includes a body having a body bolt hole. The device includes a paddle portion that is connected with the central portion, actuates the actuation cable, and has an assembly bolt cavity and an assembly bolt. The assembly bolt passes through the assembly bolt cavity, body bolt hole, and base bolt hole. The assembly bolt provides rotational adjustment of the paddle portion and the mounting bolt provides lateral adjustment of the paddle portion. The lateral adjustment, rotational adjustment, and actuation of the actuation cable operate independent of one another.

An actuation cable device includes a left hood lock cable having an end connected to a left hood lock device; a right hood lock cable having an end connected to a right hood lock device; an opener cable having an end connected to a hood opener; and a link device including a rotatable link member to which second ends of the above-described cables are connected. The left hood lock cable and the right hood lock cable are respectively connected to an upper portion and a lower portion of the link member in a manner so that they extend from the link member toward opposite sides to each other. The opener cable is connected to the upper portion in a manner so that it extends from the link member toward an opposite side to the side toward which the left hood lock cable extends.

A button assembly for a release system comprises a housing and an actuator coupled to the housing and translatable along a first axis. The actuator comprises a contact surface configured for engagement by an operator to translate the actuator along the first axis, and a rack gear extending along the first axis and away from the contact surface. The button assembly further comprises a pinion gear coupled to the housing and rotatable about a second axis, orthogonal to the first axis. The pinion gear is meshed with the rack gear and with the extension member coupled to the pinion gear. The mesh between the pinion gear and the rack gear facilitates rotation of the pinion gear as the rack gear translates, with the rotation of the pinion gear facilitating movement of the extension member and movement of the latch between the engagement and disengagement positions.

The repair of shift cable ends in various motor vehicles without the replacement of the entire shift cable is accomplished using a specialized bushing that operably couples the shift lever and shift cable end. In particular embodiments, the shift cable end is seated in an installation tool and a specialized bushing is inserted into the shift cable end by applying a compressive force to the bushing and the installation tool. The installation tool is removed and the shift lever is inserted into the bushing. The bushing has a coupling means to simulate the factory installed coupling mechanism, a securing means for maintaining the bushing's alignment and securing it within the shift cable end, and a pressure-relief means for relieving pressure within the bushing as the lever is inserted into the bushing. In some embodiments, the hushing has a compression means for allowing the bushing to be easily compressed into the shift cable end without deformation.

A cable-coupled by-wire control of a vehicle control function traditionally activated by driver manipulation of a pedal is achieved though the agency of a Bowden cable having a first end fastened to the driver pedal, and a second end coupled to a by-wire actuator. The by-wire actuator has a pulley on which the second end of the cable is fastened, an electric motor coupled to the pulley to permit by-wire activation of the vehicle control function by rotation of the pulley in a direction to pull on the pedal with the cable. A relief chamber of the actuator radially outboard of the pulley accommodates slack in the cable within the actuator caused by driver manipulation of the pedal during by-wire activation of the control function.
