A door inside release spring for a vehicle door assembly includes a torsional spring body, and a first spring arm extending from a first axial end of the spring body. The first spring arm is configured to be operably connected to an inside release lever to bias a position of the inside release lever. A second spring arm extends from a second axial end of the spring body opposite the first axial end. The second spring arm is configured to be operably connected to a child lock lever to bias a position of the child lock lever.

Latch assemblies for opening and closing openable structures having a housing defining a cavity, a handle movably mounted to the housing, and a latching mechanism between the handle and the housing. The latching mechanism includes at least one guide pin mounted to the housing, a first body movable along the at least one guide pin and having a first latching element extending through the housing, a second body movable along the at least one guide pin and having a second latching element extending through the housing, a first link attached to the first body, a second link attached to the second body, and a link connector operably connecting the first link to the second link, wherein movement of the link connector urges the first latching element and the second latching element apart through movement of the first link and the second link and the first body and the second body.

Latch systems for opening and closing openable structures including a first latch assembly, a second latch assembly separated from the first latch assembly, and an assembly connector operably connecting the first latch assembly to the second latch assembly such that operation of one of the first latch assembly and the second latch assembly causes operation of the other of the first latch assembly and the second latch assembly through the assembly connector. Lateral movement of a portion of the first latch assembly in operation causes lateral movement of the assembly connector which causes lateral movement of a portion of the second latch assembly to thus operate the second latch assembly.

The dual lock system can have a primary lock having a first bolt, a first external access control interface, a handle on an internal face of the door, a first mechanism to control the retraction of the first bolt based on either one of the first external access control interface and the handle, the first mechanism having an actuator which is moveable vertically in response to the activation of the handle; a secondary lock having a second bolt, a second external access control interface, a second mechanism to control the retraction of the second bolt based on the second external access control interface, the second mechanism having a rotary shaft linked to the retraction of the second bolt; a connecting element connected to transfer the vertical movement of the actuator to a rotary movement of the rotary shaft, wherein both the first bolt and the second bolt are retracted upon activation of the handle.

A rotary latch assembly for a vehicle door includes a rotor and a catch mounted between front and rear latch plates with a spring bias for movement between opening and closing positions. A noise dampening bumper resides between the plates to engage the rotor during opening and closing movements for soft opening and closing. An actuator barrel, for releasing the catch from the closed position to the open position, is snap fit between the plates, to eliminate use of a mounting clip.

The invention discloses a door opener for a door having a wing pivotally mounted to a door frame, said door opener comprising: a main body; a door opener latch hingedly mounted in the main body and pivotable between a closed position and an open position; a blocking member that is displaceable from a locking position into a release position and back, the blocking member in its locking position forming a stop for the door opener latch in the closed position to prevent pivoting of the door opener latch into the open position, and the blocking member in its release position being so far offset from the door opener latch that the door opener latch may be pivoted from the closed position to the open position and back without any restriction of movement by the blocking member; and an actuator coupled with the blocking member for releasing or locking the door opener latch.

The actuator comprises a motor having a rotatable shaft supporting a worm thread, and a spring member having two end portions is provided, wherein a first end portion of the spring member engages with the worm thread in order to displace the spring member linearly in the direction of extension of the rotatable shaft by rotating the worm thread, and wherein a second end portion of the spring member is coupled with the blocking member.

A door bolt structure of an electronic device includes a door frame, a door panel, and a resilient metallic wire. The door panel is movably disposed at the door frame and provides a hermetic seal to the door frame. The two ends of the resilient metallic wire are connected to the door panel. The resilient metallic wire bends to form hook portions which protrude from the edge of the door panel. When the door panel provides a hermetic seal for the door frame, the hook portions are engaged with an inner edge of the door frame. When pulled, the resilient metallic wire drives the hook portions to separate from the door frame, thereby allowing the door panel to move relative to the door frame.

A safety device for a motor vehicle, which has a striker, a pawl, an ejection spring ejecting the striker, and a rotary latch, wherein the rotary latch has an opening direction of rotation, a closing direction of rotation an open position, and a main locking position, wherein the ejection spring has a leg and the leg lies directly against the striker in the main locking position of the rotary latch and the leg lies directly against the rotary latch in at least one intermediate position of the rotary latch, in which the rotary latch is between the main locking position and the open position.

A safety device for a motor vehicle, having a lock holder, a pawl and a rotary latch, wherein the rotary latch has a load arm, a catch arm, an opening direction of rotation, a closing direction of rotation, a pre-latching position and a main latching position, wherein the pawl is latched in on the catch arm in the pre-latching position and is latched in on the load arm in the main latching position.

A safety device for a motor vehicle, which has a striker, a pawl, a rotary latch having an opening direction of rotation, a closing direction of rotation, and a main locking position, and preferably a front hood, wherein the safety device has a blocking element, which has a blockage position and a release position, and the rotary latch is blocked in the closing direction of rotation in the blockage position of the blocking element, wherein the rotary latch is released in the closing direction of rotation by the blocking element in the release position of the blocking element and lowering of the striker is enabled in the main locking position of the rotary latch and movement of the blocking element from the release position to the blockage position is controlled by means of the pawl.
