An emergency exit door assembly for a vehicle. The door assembly can include a door panel that is movably coupled to the wall of the vehicle. The door panel can have an inner surface and an outer surface. The door panel can be configured for selective movement between a closed position and an open position in which an opening within the wall is exposed. A headboard component can be incorporated into the door panel, and a bed pedestal within the vehicle can be positioned in proximity to the headboard component when the door panel is in a closed position.

A latch assembly comprises an exterior housing, a door latch, a plunger, a resilient member, and an external lever pivotally mounted on an outer face of the exterior housing. The external lever comprises a first leg, a second leg disposed at an angle relative to the first leg, and a pivot mount disposed between the first leg and the second leg. The plunger is maintained in the latched position when the external lever is in a latched position by the resilient member, whereby an entry door cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position. The plunger is displaced from the latched position to the unlatched position when the external lever is rotated from the latched position to the unlatched position by the second leg bearing against the plunger, whereby the entry door is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position.

A recreational vehicle comprises a space enclosed by walls (1), wherein at least one of the walls comprises an openable panel, such as for instance a window (20). Provided between the window (20) and the wall (1) is an opening device (30) which is connected pivotally to the window on one side and extends pivotally from the wall of the window opening (2) on the other. Provided here between the wall (1) and the opening device is a ball joint or ball hinge between on one side a ball cup (35) and on the other a ball head (45) which extend from a coupling device (40) and the opening device (30).

A motorized door assembly for a vehicle includes a housing having a housing body, a housing opening extending into a housing cavity, a door coupled to the housing and rotatable with respect to the housing about a pivot axis, a motor with a motor head fixed to the housing and a motor adapter rotatably coupled to the motor head about a rotation axis that is different than the pivot axis, and an arm coupled to the door and the motor. The housing cavity secures a component therein. The door conceals the housing cavity in a door closed position and reveals the housing cavity in a door open position.

A method for controlling a motor vehicle locking mechanism and to a motor vehicle locking mechanism, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, comprising a control unit, at least one electric drive that can be controlled by the control unit, and at least one illuminant that can be associated with the locking mechanism, the illuminant being controllable in accordance with a status of the locking mechanism and/or of a vehicle component accommodating the locking mechanism, said status being detectable by the control unit, the illuminant being integrated into a switching circuit of the electric drive.

An apparatus for setting a gap between a first electrode and a second electrode of a spark plug, encompassing at least a counter-brace, a gap plate, and a plunger, which are disposed along a longitudinal axis; the counter-brace being configured to brace the spark plug; the gap plate being disposed between the counter-brace and the plunger in the direction of the longitudinal axis; the gap plate being configured to be disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and the plunger being configured to apply a deformation force in the direction of the longitudinal axis onto the second electrode.

A ramp door closure apparatus is provided for recreational vehicles, having a recessed linear actuator both draw a cable from a mounting bracket on the ramp door adjacent to the RV opening, to raise and lower the ramp door, and then cam a locking pin fixed to the ramp door into a seal tight position after the ramp door is raised. Upon release of the locking pin from the cam when opening the door, an initial push is provided to facilitate downward rotation of the ramp door. The linear actuator is selectively detachable from the cable so as to allow manual raising and lowering of the ramp door from within the RV, by means of releasable pins accessed in the mounting structure.

An improvement in a portable building (B) comprising a door ramp (10) installed in an opening (O) formed in a sidewall (S) of the building. A ramp door (12) fits in the opening and is hingedly attached to the building. A handle (16) is attached to an exterior surface (12o) of the door allows a user to lower and raise the door with a mechanism (18) facilitating lowering and raising the door in a controlled manner. A panel (32) mounted to the interior top portion of the door extends outwardly as the door is fully lowered to rest on the ground and complete formation of a ramp by items can be brought into or removed from the building.

A door opening and closing device for a vehicle includes a door for opening and closing a door opening formed in a vehicle body, a spindle mounted in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and configured to rotate, and a door arm of which a first end portion thereof is rotatably connected to a first end portion of the door, and a second end portion may be configured to move and rotate according to a rotation of the spindle.
