The installation kit for an electric lock includes a second lock having a rotary part. The rotary part includes a second shaft. A sleeve is driven by the rotary part and includes a passage which forms an opening formed to one end of the sleeve. A latch bolt includes an operation portion. A first lock includes a first shaft which is engaged with the operation portion so as to lock or unlock the latch bolt. The first shaft of the first lock is engaged with the passage of the sleeve and is co-rotated with the sleeve. The opening is a straight linear-shaped opening, a rectangular-shaped opening so as to be cooperated with the first lock. The second lock can be replaced a new one and operates the first lock and the latch bolt by the rotary part of the second lock.

A device for holding an opening element in an ajar position relative to a fixed part of a body of a motor vehicle, the device including a first element having at least one connection member and a second element having at least one retention member having at least one elastically deformable body configured to cooperate with a second area of the at least one connection member so as to prevent the opening element from opening; the holding device comprises at least one protective wall defining a receiving recess in which the at least one elastically deformable body is at least partially housed. The invention also relates to a vehicle provided with at least one holding device of the type mentioned above.

There is provided a locking device including: a base member; a lock bar member; and a drive member. The base member includes a pair of facing surfaces sandwiching and supporting the lock bar member. The lock bar member includes a lock portion, a first bar portion extending in a sliding direction of the lock bar member, and a second bar portion extending in a direction intersecting the sliding direction and connecting the first bar portion and the lock portion. A first stepped portion is formed on the first bar portion, and a second stepped portion is formed on the second bar portion. Each of the facing surfaces is provided with step portions each of which faces the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion respectively in the direction intersecting the sliding direction at positions sandwiched between the first stepped portion and the second stepped portion.

A locking device for an opening-closing body includes: a housing; a rotor that is rotatably supported by the housing; and at least one rod that is provided to move in and out from the housing when the rotor rotates, and that engages with and disengages from a locking portion. The housing includes an accommodating portion that slidably accommodates at least the one rod, the rotor includes a protrusion portion protruding in a rotation axis direction, and the rod includes a fitting recessed portion into which the protrusion portion is fittable. The protrusion portion is configured to be rotatable to a position where the protrusion portion escapes from a slide path of the rod with respect to the accommodating portion.

An exemplary damper module is configured for use with a latchbolt assembly, and generally includes a mounting bracket, a first slowing mechanism, and a second slowing mechanism. The latchbolt assembly generally includes a drive member, a latchbolt, and a retractor connected between the drive member and the latchbolt. Each of the slowing mechanisms is independently operable to slow the extension speed of the latchbolt. The first slowing mechanism includes a rack gear and a rotary damper including a pinion gear. The rack gear is configured to be mounted to the drive member, and the rotary damper is mounted to the mounting bracket. The second slowing mechanism includes a slowing arm and a biasing member engaged with the slowing arm. The slowing arm is movably mounted to the mounting bracket and is configured to engage the retractor.
