A handle arrangement includes a handle transitionable between an undrawn configuration and a drawn configuration. A handle lever can be coupled to a rotational member and configured to rotate the rotational member as the handle is transitioned to the drawn configuration. The rotational member can be configured to actuate a cam lever. The cam lever can be configured to actuate a latch cam between a first position corresponding to the undrawn configuration of the handle and a second position corresponding to the drawn configuration of the handle. The latch cam can be configured such that transitioning the handle between the undrawn configuration and the drawn configuration causes the latch cam to transition from the first position to the second position. The latch cam can initially move in a direction away from the second position before arriving at the second position.

A motor vehicle door lock arrangement has a motor vehicle lock and a force transmission chain. An actuation movement may be transmitted via the force transmission chain for opening of the motor vehicle lock. A crash coupling arrangement is provided between two force transmission chain sections, and includes a deflectable coupling element that is at least partly bendable.

A vehicle wheel anti-theft system is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of lock actuators. Each lock actuator is configured to move between a locked state and an unlocked state. Each lock actuator includes a body portion extending along an axis of wheel rotation and at least one locking member configured to engage a portion of the wheel in a direction perpendicular to the axis of wheel rotation when in the locked state.

A ground support tractor includes a wheeled chassis having a cabin mounted thereon. A door assembly is coupled to the cabin. The door assembly includes a lower track having a ramp and a door slidably received by the lower track and translatable in a first direction relative to the cabin between a closed position and an open position. The door includes a main panel and a closeout panel that is translatable relative to the main panel in a second direction between an extended position and a retracted position with the second direction being substantially normal to the first direction. The ramp is configured to apply a retraction force to the closeout panel that causes the closeout panel to translate from the extended position to the retracted position responsive to the door translating from the closed position to the open position.

Provided is a lock releasing method including: moving an arm part of a replacement apparatus in a horizontal direction such that a leading-end part of the arm part is located in a position downward from a mounting position of a battery, where the mounting position is a position in which the battery is mounted in a vehicle; moving the leading-end part upward such that the battery is placed on the leading-end part; and releasing a lock of the battery in the vehicle after the battery is placed on the leading-end part.

A vehicle security lock includes a lock assembly adapted to mount to an interior surface of a vehicle including a lock assembly housing and a lock cylinder that moves relative to the lock assembly housing. The vehicle security lock includes one or more bolt assemblies adapted to mount to the interior surface of the vehicle. Each bolt assembly includes a bolt assembly housing, a bolt which moves relative to the bolt assembly housing, a bolt assembly housing cover affixable to the bolt assembly housing, and a bolt receiver mounted to a separate interior surface of the vehicle. The vehicle security lock includes one or more force transfer assemblies which mechanically transfer force between the lock assembly and the one or more bolt assemblies. Insertion of the lock cylinder into the lock assembly provides force through the one or more force transfer assemblies to the one or more bolt assemblies.

A lock mechanism with an ice breaking mechanism. The lock mechanism is composed of a lock ring, an engagement plate, a pawl, a shaft, an engagement plate driving rod, a pawl release lever, a release lever, a support, a swinging claw, a tensioning wheel, a cable, a pulley, a limiting member, a supporting arm, a fixed shaft, a pull rod, a spring, a swinging ice breaking arm, an ice breaking pull rod, and the like. The lock mechanism is provided with the ice breaking mechanism. The ice breaking mechanism may be started to push a vehicle door away by a specific distance, so as to assist in manually or automatically opening the door, which improves the degree of satisfaction of customers.
