International Classification:

H02G 304

US Classification:

174 48

Abstract:

The present relates to a molding process for, and structural configuration of, a cable assembly. More particularly, the present invention includes a cable assembly including a housing having a conduit and a clam-shell encasement integral with the conduit. The housing defines a passage that extends through the housing. The present invention also includes a method for manufacturing a cable assembly including the steps of forming a housing having a conduit and a clam-shell encasement integral with the conduit. The encasement is movable between an open position and a closed position and the housing defines a passage. The method further includes the steps of disposing a cable in the passage and placing the encasement into its closed position.

Appl. No.:

9/112972

Inventors:

Ron Taranto - Rochester Hills MI

Assignee:

Prestolock International, Ltd. - Bloomfield Hills MI

International Classification:

E05G 106

US Classification:

292 35

Abstract:

The present invention includes a latch mechanism that couples a glove box door to an automobile console. The latch mechanism includes a locking rod that is movable from an engaged position to a disengaged position. In the engaged position, the locking rod lockingly engages the console of the automobile to prevent movement of the door. In the disengaged position the locking rod is removed from engagement with the console to selectively allow movement of the door to its open position. A connecting rod is coupled to a handle and the locking rod and is movable from a first position to a second position relative to the locking rod. In the first position the connecting rod is coupled to the locking rod to selectively move the locking rod into its engaged position upon movement of the handle into an unlocked position. The connecting rod is movable into its second position by the deformation forces generated during a crash whereupon the connecting rod is disengaged from the locking rod thereby allowing a biasing element to urge the locking rod into its engaged position.
