Patent ID: 7520195

Claim:
A control device for a module ( 10 ) forming a lock mechanism, the control device comprising: a cable ( 14 ) having a proximal end ( 14 P) and a distal end respectively; a jacket ( 18 ) housing the cable; the jacket having a proximal end ( 18 P) and a distal end ( 18 D) respectively, the proximal and distal ends of the jacket are immobilized by proximal ( 20 P) and distal ( 20 D) retaining elements, wherein at least the proximal end ( 18 P) of the jacket ( 18 ) is connected to the proximal retaining element ( 20 P) by means of a connecting element ( 22 ) attached to the proximal end ( 18 P) of the jacket ( 18 ), and wherein a fusion interface is provided between the connecting element ( 22 ) and the proximal retaining element ( 20 P) at locations offset laterally from an axis of the jacket ( 18 ) to avoid deformation of the jacket ( 18 ) during a welding process.
