Abstract: A headrest assembly for a vehicle seat. The headrest assembly includes a support bracket having a first engagement section and a moveable bracket movable between first and second positions. The headrest assembly further includes a pawl defining a cam surface. The pawl has a second engagement section and is pivotable between an engaged position, with the second engagement section engaging the first engagement section, and a disengaged position, with the second engagement section spaced from the first engagement section. The headrest assembly further includes a first tab selectively engaging and guiding the pawl into the engaged position, and a second tab selectively engaging and guiding the pawl into the disengaged position as the moveable bracket moves between the first and second positions. The headrest assembly further includes a biasing member engaging the cam surface to continuously bias the pawl into both of the engaged and disengaged positions.

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control assembly for park brake applications includes a conduit slidably supporting a core element and having an end fitting disposed on each end of the conduit. The end fitting includes a seal body formed of a relatively resilient organic polymeric material and a frame disposed about the seal body and formed of a different and relatively more rigid organic polymeric material and having a plurality of snap-in locking fingers to engage behind a surface of a support structure upon advancing the locking fingers through an aperture of the support structure. A connector member is molded from an organic polymeric material in place simultaneously about each of the seal body and frame and about the end of the conduit to provide an interconnection therebetween and to provide a transverse abutment surface spaced longitudinally from bearing surfaces of the snap-in locking fingers for engaging an opposite surface of the support structure.

Abstract: A device (26) for adjusting the length of either the core element (14) or the conduit (12) in a motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) includes an elongated member (28) and a housing (30) for axially movably receiving the elongated member (28). A thumb-controlled locking device (32, 68) locks and unlocks the elongated member (28) within the housing (30). A latch (34) holds the locking device (32, 68) in position. The latch (34) forms a spring-loaded cover (92) surrounding the locking device (32). An operator must manually displace the cover (92) before actuating the locking device (32).

Abstract: A motion transmitting remote control cable assembly (10) comprises a motion transmitting core element (12) having a terminal (14) attached to one of its ends, where the terminal includes a passageway (16). The assembly also includes a socket member (20) disposed in the passageway for interconnecting the core element (12) with a control element (18). The assembly (10) is characterized by including a separate isolator (22,22') interposed in the passageway (16) between the socket member (20) and the terminal (14) for dampening vibrations originating from the control element (18).
