Abstract

A transmission means for a motor vehicle latch of a moving component of a vehicle, includes a tensile element to transmit an opening command from a handle to a motor vehicle latch, a stop bushing to connect to the handle or the motor vehicle latch, whereby the tensile element passes through the stop bushing, whereby the stop bushing has at least a sealing mounting, whereby at least a sealing element is arranged at least partly in the sealing mounting.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A transmission for a motor vehicle latch of a moving component of a vehicle, the transmission comprising:
a tensile element to transmit an opening command from a handle to the motor vehicle latch,
a stop bushing to connect to the handle or the motor vehicle latch, whereby the tensile element is passed through the stop bushing, wherein the stop bushing has a sealing mounting, and
a sealing element arranged in the sealing mounting, wherein the sealing element is formed in a geometrically complementary manner to an internal diameter of the sealing mounting,
wherein the sealing mounting, internally, has a fixing element, so that the sealing element is positively and/or form-fittingly connected to the sealing mounting,
wherein the sealing element has a fixing element, wherein the fixing element of the sealing element is positively and/or form-fittingly connected to the fixing element of the sealing mounting, and
wherein the fixing element of the sealing mounting includes a plurality of holes formed in a radial surface of the sealing mounting, and wherein the fixing element of the sealing element includes a plurality of axially extending pins that extend from a ring-shaped section of the sealing element to be received in the plurality of holes.

2. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing element is surrounded at least partly by the sealing mounting.

3. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing mounting is a hollow cylindrical shape or a hollow conical shape, whereby, at a first end of the sealing mounting, a collar element is formed which extends in a protruding manner from the sealing mounting.

4. The transmission according to claim 3 , wherein the sealing element is arranged, at least on external surfaces of the sealing element, positively on the collar element.

5. The transmission according to claim 3 , wherein the collar element protrudes beyond the sealing element in the direction of a rotational axis of the sealing mounting.

6. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing element is formed of the ring-shaped section and a conical section that extends from the ring-shaped section, wherein the sealing mounting surrounds the ring-shaped section and the conical section.

7. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing element extends in a pin-shaped manner from the sealing mounting.

8. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing mounting is formed as a plastic injection-molded component and the sealing element and/or the sealing mounting has an elastomer.

9. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing mounting is positively and/or form-fittingly and/or firmly bonded to the stop bushing.

10. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing element is flush mounted to an internal surface of the sealing mounting.

11. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing element extends from the ring-shaped section on a side of the ring-shaped section that is opposite to a side from which the conical section extends.

12. The transmission according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing mounting is formed as one part with the stop bushing as part of the stop bushing.

13. A motor vehicle latch comprising a locking mechanism with a catch and at least one pawl and at least a transmission according to claim 1 .

14. A transmission for a motor vehicle latch of a moving component of a vehicle, the transmission comprising:
a tensile element to transmit an opening command from a handle to a motor vehicle latch,
a stop bushing to connect to the handle or the motor vehicle latch, whereby the tensile element is passed through the stop bushing, wherein the stop bushing has a sealing mounting, and
a sealing element arranged in the sealing mounting,
wherein the sealing mounting includes a plurality of holes formed in an internal radial surface of the sealing mounting, and
wherein the sealing element includes a plurality of axially extending pins that are received in the plurality of holes of the sealing mounting to interlock the sealing element and the sealing mounting.
