A latch assembly for providing travel of a closure panel of a vehicle away from a latch during a collision event, the latch assembly compromising: a mounting plate of the latch for mounting a set of latch components thereon including a ratchet coupled to a pawl for retaining and releasing a mating latch component with respect to a slot of the latch, the mating latch component mounted to the closure panel, the latch components further including a secondary catch, the mounting plate connected to a body of the vehicle; a support plate coupled to the mounting plate by a support connector, the support connector providing a sliding connection between the support plate and the mounting plate along an axis; a blocking member mounted to one of the support plate and the mounting plate, such that engagement of the blocking member limits relative displacement between the support plate and the mounting plate along the axis; an actuation system mounted on the support plate, the actuation system for moving by the travel the closure panel between a primary latched position and a secondary latched position during actuation of the actuation system; wherein disengagement of the blocking member subsequent to the actuation of the actuation system provides for the relative displacement between the support plate and the mounting plate along the axis opposite to the direction of the travel of the closure panel.

A door assembly includes a door panel having a first pair of bearings secured to a top portion of the door panel and a second pair of bearings secured to a bottom portion of the door panel. A wall having an opening which extends through the wall wherein a first rail track extends along a first end portion of the opening having a first opening and a second rail track extends along a second end portion of the opening having a second opening. At least one hinge blocking assembly includes a first bracket connected to the wall and a second bracket wherein the second bracket is rotatably mounted to the first bracket about a fixed axis of rotation defined by the at least one hinge blocking assembly wherein with the second bracket in a first position the second bracket extends away from the first bracket.

An integrated system (PARIS) for releasing the persons trapped in a vehicle comprises a central processing unit (CPU), the input of which is connected to sensors (D1, D2, . . . Dn), and the output of which is connected to at least three executive systems activated in a sequence: a system of automatic opening of the locks and the door bolts and blocking them in open position (LOB), a system of automatic deflecting the doors and locking them in open position (DOB), and a system of automatic cutting of the seat belts (SBC). A method for releasing the persons trapped in the vehicle performed by the system PARIS consists in that when it receives from the sensors (D1, D2, . . . Dn) signals indicating an emergency and when the vehicle stops, the CPU sends to a system of automatic opening of the locks and the door bolts and blocking them in open position (LOB) a signal, then sends to a system of automatic deflecting the doors and locking them in open position (DOB) a signal, and then sends to a system of automatic cutting of the seat belts (SBC) a signal.

A hood latch for a motor vehicle is provided. The hood latch includes a lift lever, a pawl, a ratchet, a control lever and an actuator. The control lever has a first cam surface and a second cam surface. The actuator is configured for actuation in response to a signal detected by a sensor. The actuator is actuatable in response to the signal to move into engagement with the control lever to bring the first cam surface into operable engagement with the pawl to move the pawl out of locked engagement with the ratchet, whereupon the second cam surface is brought into engagement with the lift lever to rotate the lift lever into engagement with a striker, fixed to a hood of the motor vehicle, to move the hood to a partially open state.

A latching device with a blocking device that is capable of preventing unintentional opening of a door or a flap in the case of a crash. The blocking device includes a pyrotechnic gas generator. The pyrotechnic gas generator triggers in the case of a crash and moves a blocking element into a blocking position which prevents opening of the locking mechanism of the latching device.

A door arrangement includes a door, first and second frame parts, a stop and a support both fixed at the first frame part, wherein the support is arranged below the stop in a vertical direction, a safety latch having a first end and an opposite free second end, wherein the safety latch is pivotally attached to the door and includes a hook part arranged at the second end. The second end is introducible between the stop and the support, and the hook part is arranged to interact with the stop. A lower side of the safety latch is arranged to interact with the support, and includes a transition point, arranged between the first and second ends, at which the lower side bends upwards towards the free second end.

An integrated system for releasing trapped persons in a vehicle (PARIS) includes a central management unit (CPU) to which sensors (D1, D2, . . . Dn), an input-output socket (S) for connecting a service computer and control switches or buttons, and at least the following are connected at an output of the central management unit: an automatic seatbelt cutting system (SBC), a system for automatically opening door locks and bolts and locking them in the open position (LOB), and a system for automatically swinging doors and locking them in the open position (DOB).

A pressure relief latch includes a housing, a bolt, a cam, and a spring assembly. The housing includes a door panel, a first lateral panel, and a second lateral panel. The first lateral panel and the second lateral panel extend outward from the door panel. The bolt includes a bolt body and a roller bearing. The bolt body is pivotably mounted to the first lateral panel and the second lateral panel at a bolt pivot axis. The bolt body is pivotable about the bolt pivot axis between a latched position and an unlatched position. The roller bearing is rotatably mounted to the bolt body. The cam is pivotably mounted to the first lateral panel and the second lateral panel. The spring assembly is pivotably mounted to the cam. The spring assembly is configured to bias the cam toward the bolt.

A turbofan engine including a core engine and at least one fan by means of which fluid is guided to a primary flow channel for the core engine as well as to a secondary flow channel of the turbofan engine, wherein the secondary flow channel extends around the core engine, and at least one conduit guided inside a hollow space of a splitter fairing that is arranged in the secondary flow channel. The splitter fairing has at least one overpressure flap with at least one deformable hinge element, with the overpressure flap being flappable as the deformable hinge element is being deformed if a pressure inside the hollow space exceeds a threshold value. Further, at least one opening mechanism is provided by means of which, in the event that the pressure inside the hollow space exceeds a threshold value, a fixation of the overpressure flap is released.

A latch having a housing and a latch mechanism located within an interior portion of the housing. The latch mechanism includes an arm, a pair of socket screws, a pair of torsion springs, each of which is connected rotatably to the arm and engages a corresponding one of the pair of socket screws, a bolt mechanism attached rotatably to the housing, and a link attached pivotally to the arm and attached to the bolt mechanism. The socket screws are utilized to adjust loads on the springs. The bolt mechanism is movable between a first position, in which the arm and the link are toggled with one another under the loads of the springs and the bolt mechanism is adapted to engage an external structure, and a second position, in which the link and the arm are untoggled with one another and the bolt mechanism is disengaged with the external structure.
