  • Patent number: 11654801
    Abstract: An electric lock for a fold-down seat of a motor vehicle is situated inside a housing. The lock includes a locking means, a blocking element, a transmission lever attached to the blocking element so as to move it between a position of blocking the locking means in the catch retention position and a position in which it is effaced with respect to the movement of the locking means. The lock includes an actuator comprising an electric motor, the actuator being able to move the transmission lever. The transmission lever of the lock is able to move about an axis of rotation and has two arms extending radially from the axis, the first arm at its end having a handle and the second arm at its end having a means of attachment to the blocking element.

  • Patent number: 7520195
    Abstract: A Bowden-type cable containing a cable (14) is provided with proximal (14P) and distal extremities arranged in a jacket (18) having proximal (18P) and distal extremities blocked by proximal (20P) and distal arresting units. At least the first extremity (18P) of the jacket (18) is connected to the first arresting unit (20P) with the aid of a liaison unit (22) which is arranged on the first extremity (18P) of the jacket (18). In a preferred embodiment, the liaison unit is moulded on the first extremity (18P) of the jacket (18) and welded by ultrasound to the first arresting unit (20).
