Abstract: A cable adjustment mechanism for connecting a cable assembly comprising a cable to a bracket, the mechanism comprising: a connecting bushing having a bracket connector for attaching to the bracket, a first body interior for receiving the cable there though, and a cable connector for attaching to the a mechanism body of the cable assembly; the mechanism body having a second body interior for receiving the cable there though, a first end, and a second end for receiving the connecting bushing, the first end opposed to the second end, the second body interior defining an adjustment axis; a spacing member having one end for coupling to a cable body of the cable assembly and another end for coupling with the mechanism body at the first end, the another end opposed to the one end, the spacing member having a third body interior for receiving the cable there through; and a lock for retaining a selected relative position on the mechanism body along the adjustment axis in order to retain a resultant separation distance between the connecting bushing and the cable body; wherein the selected relative position is determined by adjusting a position of the coupling of the one end with respect to the first end along the adjustment axis prior to locking the selected relative position by the lock.

Abstract: A latch assembly for a vehicular latching system configured to provide an anti-chucking locking function in cooperation with a latch mechanism. The latch mechanism has a ratchet that is moveable by a striker between a striker release position, a striker capture position, and a striker over-travel position. A pawl is operable in a ratchet holding position to hold the ratchet when the ratchet is in the striker capture position and operable in a ratchet releasing position to release the ratchet to allow the ratchet to return to its striker release position. A latch release mechanism operates to move the pawl between its ratchet holding and ratchet releasing positions. The anti-chuck locking function is provided by the pawl having a lock tooth and the ratchet having a lock notch for locking engagement therebetween when the pawl holds the ratchet in its striker capture position for muting vibrations of the latch assembly.
