The latch housing 31 of a motor vehicle door latch having locking and release levers 34, 35 is encased within a boot or sleeve formed as a one-piece moulding of a water-impervious, sound-damping synthetic plastics material, for example, pvc, which is slotted or otherwise apertured to allow the locking and release levers to project for connection to appropriate linkages and to provide access for connection of (a) cable(s), Bowden and/or electric. In the embodiment of Figures 1-2 the boot or sleeve 10 has a main body portion 12, a wedge-shaped portion 13 with slots through which levers 34, 35 project and a projecting formation 16 which fits over a cable nipple. Figures 3-5 show an alternative boot or sleeve (20). Latch may include an electric motor or other actuator. Figure 10 shows reinforcement elements (washers or nuts) around openings in the boot or sleeve through which pass shanks of fixing elements. Figure 11 shows details of attachment of outer sheath of Bowden cable to the latch housing. <IMAGE> |
