Childproof vehicle door locking system
The present invention relates to a vehicle door latch system, more particularly, relates to a vehicle door latch system comprising: a locking member spring applying an elastic force to the locking member in the opposite direction of an external force when the locking member is moved by the external force; a locking guide member rotatably installed in a housing; and a cam-part formed in a locking member for guiding the locking guide member and formed with a stopping slot; so that the structure of the device becomes simple, and at the same time, releasing of the locking member is prevented when the latch is rotated by the main gear even when the locking member is moved by the same main gear used for the latch.
Smart latch
A latch assembly for a motor vehicle includes a latch mechanism, a power-operated latch release mechanism, and an over-center spring-biased reset mechanism. The power-operated latch release mechanism is operable during a power release operation to shift the reset mechanism from a first over-center operating state into a second over-center operating state.

Powered latch mechanism with manual release
A powered latch with manual release includes a forkbolt, a detent lever, and a powered actuator. The forkbolt is pivotable about a first axis to latch and unlatch a striker. The detent lever is pivotable about a second axis and engageable with the forkbolt to secure the forkbolt in the latched position. A power cinching lever is rotatable by the powered actuator to cinch the forkbolt to the latched position. A power release lever is rotatable by the powered actuator to release the detent lever from the forkbolt. A manual release lever is supported for rotation about a third axis and operable by a single manual rotation from outside the powered latch, without operation of the powered actuator, to both: interrupt a power transmission path between the powered actuator and the power cinching lever, and drive the detent lever to release the forkbolt.
Electrical release for interior compartment (glove box)
A compartment assembly includes a housing, a door movable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position, an arm extending from the door having a first engagement surface and a second engagement surface, and an actuation system. The actuation system includes a prime mover and a pin connected to the housing and operably coupled to the door. The pin is movable by the prime mover. A biasing mechanism is coupled to the pin to bias the pin into engagement with the arm. When the door is in the closed position, engagement between the first engagement surface and the pin restricts movement of the door. Engagement between the second engagement surface and the pin opposes the biasing force of the biasing mechanism to allow movement of the door.
MOTOR VEHICLE DOOR LOCK
A lock for a motor vehicle, in particular motor vehicle door lock, comprising a locking mechanism with a rotary latch and at least one pawl, a drive motor, a worm connected to the drive motor, a worm gear, wherein the worm gear can be driven by the drive motor and with the aid of the worm, and a means for transmitting a torque from the worm gear to a pawl, said means for transmitting being a transmission stage, preferably a gear stage.
Automobile door latch apparatus
A motor vehicle door latch device comprises a locking motor; a locking rotary member that can be rotated by the locking motor; a locking mechanism comprising a mechanical element that can be shifted to an unlock state or a lock state by rotation of the locking rotary member; a releasing motor; and an electric release lever pivotally mounted to a housing via a release shaft and rotated by the releasing motor to enable an engagement mechanism to be released regardless of a state of the locking mechanism. If an entering line along which a striker enters a striker entering groove of a body to engage with the engagement mechanism is defined as a striker entering line, a case for the locking motor is positioned above the striker entering line and a case for the releasing motor is positioned below the striker entering line.
LINEAR RECIPROCATING-MOTION APPARATUS
A linear reciprocating-motion apparatus includes at least one movable member (10, 30) supported by a housing (90) and being capable of undergoing linear reciprocating motion in a range that includes a first position, a second position, and a third position; a stopper (50) supported by the housing to be displaceable between a blocking position that blocks the at least one movable member and a nonblocking position that does not block the at least one movable member, and is displaced to the nonblocking position in response to a specific operation; an intermittent mechanism (100, 200) that interacts with movement of the at least one movable member and assumes a specific state once every two times that the at least one movable member moves to the third position; and a switch (SW1) that, in response to the specific state, is switched from a disconnected state or a connected state to the other thereof.
OPENING/CLOSING BODY CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLES
An opening/closing body control device for vehicles that comprises a lock device and a control device. The control device comprises: a reverse control unit that executes reverse control that rotates a rotating member in reverse, after closing control has been completed; and a position detection unit that detects the rotation position of the rotating member, on the basis of the on/off state of a neutral switch. The position detection unit is capable of detecting whether the rotation position of the rotating member is in a closed area, a release area, or a neutral area. The reverse control unit does not execute reverse control if the rotation position of the rotating member is in the neutral area, when the closing control has been completed.
OPENING/CLOSING BODY CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLES
This opening/closing body control device for vehicles comprises a lock device and a control device. The control device comprises: a reversal control unit; a reversal stopping unit; a first error detection unit that detects a first state change error in a first neutral switch, when reverse rotation of a rotating member has been stopped on the basis of a change in the on/off state of a second neutral switch during reverse control after closing control; and a second error detection unit that detects a second state change error in the first neutral switch, when reverse rotation of the rotating member is stopped on the basis of a change in the on/off state of the second neutral switch during reverse control after release control.
