The present invention relates to a hood latch system for a vehicle comprising a hood having a striker, the system comprises: a spring loaded claw rotatable between an engaged position in which the striker is locked in place by the claw, and an open position in which the striker is disengaged from the claw, and a main pawl rotatable between a first position in which the claw is held in place by the main pawl in the engaged position and a second position in which the claw is released by the main pawl whereby the claw is allowed to rotate into the open position. When the main pawl is caused to be activated for rotating from the first position to the second position by a crash acceleration force, the main pawl is configured to prevent the striker from being released.

There are provided a hinge arm having a lever and a rotational axis to rotate the lever so as to be projected from the door panel, and a driving unit to transmit a drive force to the hinge arm so as to project the lever from the door panel. The driving unit comprises a motor and an output axis connected to the motor and the hinge arm so as to transmit a motor output to the hinge arm in a region from a storage position to an open position, wherein the drive force is transmitted from the motor to the hinge arm via the output axis when the lever is moved from the storage position to a gripping position and the drive force is transmitted from the hinge arm to the motor via the output axis when the lever is moved from the open position to the gripping position.

A locking device for a vehicle seat is disclosed. The locking device comprises at least one tolerance compensating element and a second damping element provided for damping the movement of a bolt element received in the locking device. The elements are spaced apart from one another in the direction of the action of force effected by the bolt element, such that under normal conditions the tolerance compensating element acts in a damping manner and the second damping element additionally provides a damping action under the action of high dynamic force.

A locking device for a door located at a door frame having a door strike. The locking device includes an actuator having a neutral position and a displaced position, and a latchbolt assembly having an extended position configured to engage the door strike, and a retracted position configured to move past the door strike. The latchbolt assembly includes a latchbolt link configured to move the latchbolt in response to movement of the actuator. A first dampening device is disposed adjacent to the latchbolt link, with the dampening device resiliently engaging the latchbolt link as the latchbolt link moves from the retracted position to the extended position. The first dampening device limits movement of the latchbolt link. A second dampening device is configured to restrain movement of the latchbolt during movement from the retracted position to the extended position.

A handle for a vehicle door that includes a grip member, a primary actuation mechanism, and a secondary actuation mechanism. The grip member is movable between a flush position, an active position range, and an opening position. The grip member includes a grip return device configured to drive the grip member toward the flush position. The primary actuation mechanism is moveable between a primary activating position range and a primary rest position. The secondary actuation mechanism is moveable between a secondary activating position range and a secondary rest position. The secondary actuation mechanism is configured to bring the primary actuation mechanism to the primary rest position after a predetermined time period after reaching a predetermined activating position in the primary activation position range.

The opening control includes a handle, movable in rotation relative to the casing at least between leveling, ejection and opening positions, an ejection lever connected to the handle by at least one common axis of rotation with this handle and an electric actuator for controlling a pivoting of the ejection lever between at least one ejection position and a non-ejection position. In particular, the opening control includes a biasing member connected to the ejection lever and configured to exert a force for returning the lever towards the ejection position according to an ejection direction of rotation, and means for blocking the lever in its non-ejection position. The blocking means are capable of cooperating with the lever in order to release the lever when the handle is displaced in a direction of rotation opposite to the ejection direction, by application of an external push force on the handle.
