  • Publication number: 20250154977
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a connection assembly for a motor vehicle lock and, in particular, a Bowden cable connection assembly for a motor vehicle door lock. In its basic construction, this is equipped with a main body inserted into a lock housing and with a sealing body made from an elastic plastic for sealing the main body against the lock housing, and/or an actuating element for at least one lock component. According to the invention, the main body is produced from rigid plastic, and the sealing body is formed in two parts. In addition, the sealing body is connected to the main body. Furthermore, the sealing body is formed in two parts with a housing sealing body for sealing against the lock housing and an actuating sealing body functionally and locally separated therefrom for sealing against the actuating element.

  • 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.
