    摘要: Disclosed is a pull-release tether for disengaging an actuator. The pull-release tether includes a tether having first and second ends, a fastener assembly, and a pull ring. The second end is coupled with the actuator via, for example, a release mechanism of the actuator. The fastener assembly is coupled to the first end and secures the pull-release tether with an opening formed at operator interface. The pull ring is coupled to the fastener to enable a user to pull the pull-release tether with one finger. In some examples, the fastener assembly comprises a base and a plurality of clips. The plurality of clips includes a first clip and a second clip, each of which is outwardly biased and resiliently connected to the fastener assembly. The base can define a sidewall that forms an interference fit with the opening. For example, the sidewall can comprise a plurality of ribs.

    摘要: A cable module includes a retaining member and a cable member. The retaining member includes a base portion, a guide portion, and an attaching portion. The cable member placed on the base portion includes a grip portion and a cable. The guide portion configured to guide the cable is provided on a surface of the base portion. The attaching portion protrudes from the base portion. The retaining member is configured to retain the cable member in a first position and a second position. The length of an intermediate portion of the cable located between the guide portion and the grip portion when the cable member is in the second position is longer than that when the cable member is in the first position. When the cable member is in the second position, the grip portion is attached onto the attaching portion in a condition where the intermediate portion is bent.

    摘要: In a lid opening and closing device for vehicle, a rod can move forward and backward between pushed-in and protruding positions, and is supported on a case so that the rod can attain a lid closed position where the rod returns from pushed-in position toward protruding position only by predetermined movement amount. An axial position-restricting groove has a pin-receiving portion and is formed on the rod or a coupling member. An elastic member has a pin inserted into the groove while being receivable by the portion when the rod is at lid closed position, the elastic member being supported on the case and exhibiting resilient force making the pin resiliently abut against the rod or coupling member. The case is provided with a restricting part capable of abutting against the elastic member, and restricting displacement of the elastic member to a side where the pin is disengaged from the groove.

    摘要: In a lid opening and closing device for a vehicle, a restriction member restricting movement of a rod and an electric motor driving the restriction member are housed in a case fixed to a vehicle body outer plate. An emergency operation member extends movably through a vehicle body inner plate while enabling the restriction member to move when the electric motor malfunctions, the emergency operation member being resiliently urged toward an initial position side at least when being operated. A grommet for preventing intrusion of water is provided between the emergency operation member and the vehicle body inner plate. The grommet includes a grommet main portion liquid-tightly mounted on the vehicle body inner plate while having the emergency operation member movably inserted therethrough, and an elastic portion integrally connected to the grommet main portion while enabling the emergency operation member to be resiliently urged toward the initial position side.
