  • Patent number: 10662996
    Abstract: An arrangement for isolating vibration of Bowden cable-actuated components includes a Bowden cable, an actuation element coupled at one end to the Bowden cable and including a mounting eye, a damping element arranged in a positive-fit connection in the mounting eye, and a transmitter element supported within the damping element for actuating the Bowden cable such that it can be deflected. The damping element includes an elastic grommet having a defined recess lying in a specified deflection direction of the transmitter element. In a non-actuated state, the transmitter element is disposed at a centered position within the elastic grommet and is movable into contact with the mounting eye due to the effect of a deflecting actuation force under compression of the elastic grommet in an area of the recess.
