A latch device including: a latch mechanism configured to hold a door at a closing position; an electric releasing mechanism configured to release meshing of the latch mechanism; a manual releasing mechanism configured to release meshing of the latch mechanism; and a lock configured to switch between a locked state of the manual releasing mechanism and an unlocked state, wherein the electric releasing mechanism is configured to switch the lock from the locked state to the unlocked state by releasing meshing of the latch mechanism and switch the lock from the unlocked state to the locked state when a rotating cam returns to a reference position by a biasing force of a spring, when the lock is in the locked state and the rotating cam rotates by a predetermined angle in a first direction from the reference position by power of a motor against a biasing force of the spring.

A lock mechanism includes a release cam assembly configured to be articulated around an axis of a spindle, an isolation lock unlock linkage, a primary lock unlock linkage, and a door panel suspension. Responsive to an emergency release being pulled, the isolation lock unlock linkage and the primary lock unlock linkage are configured to be sequentially actuated in a sequence that includes a) unlocking an isolation lock when the isolation lock previously was in a locked position, b) unlocking a primary door lock by rotational stroke motion of the spindle, and c) rotating the spindle in an open direction.

A door handle assembly for a vehicle door, including: a housing; a door moveably secured to the housing for movement between a closed position and an open position, the door providing access to an interior cavity of the housing when the door is in the open position, wherein the door moves inwardly and upwardly into the housing in order to transition from the closed position to the open position, the interior cavity being inaccessible and covered by the door when the door is in the closed position.

The vehicle front structure includes a bulkhead made of resin and provided at a vehicle front, hood lock mechanisms provided to an upper member of the bulkhead, and bulkhead upper stays respectively connected to left and right end portions of the upper member. The vehicle front structure includes metal patches as metal patch members formed integrally with respective end portions, in the vehicle width direction, of the bulkhead. The hood lock mechanisms are fixed to the respective metal patches, and the metal patches are linked to the respective upper stays.

A vehicle door opening assembly adopting three positions: a hidden position, a ready position, and a release position. Guiding means comprising a slider support a handling element and can be moved by elastic means from the hidden position into the ready position. The slider is movable in translation from the hidden/retracted position, in which the slider and the handling element are contained in a release mechanism sheath, to the ready/deployed position when the elastic means are released. The handling element is fixed to the slider so as to be rotatable between a position coaxial with the slider and an inclined position protruding laterally from the release mechanism sheath. Secondary elastic means cause the handling element to rotate in a visible inclined position when the slider reaches the ready/deployed position.
