  • Patent number: 6405571
    Abstract: A cable drive assembly 102 for a motor vehicle locking system is described. A lock mechanism 104 is mounted on a first carrier 108. The first carrier is connected to a second carrier 110 by a cable, such that turning of an appropriate key in the lock causes the first carrier to rotate. In turn this causes the second carrier to rotate. Rotation of the second carrier causes a latch mechanism remote from the locking system to be actuated. The first carrier is held in a first position within a housing prior to insertion of the lock mechanism. Insertion of the lock mechanism during assembly of the locking system frees the carrier and allows it to rotate in response to turning of the lock mechanism.
