  • Motor vehicle latching system with cable duct
    Patent number: 10525908
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle system, in particular a motor vehicle latching system encompassing a locking mechanism with a catch and a pawl, where the motor vehicle system encompasses a cable duct 1 for the conducting of a cable 4, 5 through a sheet metal aperture, whereby the cable duct 1 is formed of a single component and has a first exit aperture 2 for a first cable 4 and a second exit aperture 3 for a second cable 5, which are designed in such a way that the first cable 4 and the second cable 5 cannot come into contact with one another when exiting the cable duct 1. Undesired noise formation can thus be counteracted in an improved manner.
