A lock device includes a latch configured to rotate between a full latch position and an unlatch position, a pawl configured to rotate between a hook position and a retracted position, an open lever configured to rotate the pawl to the retracted position, and a drive lever including an open lever pushing portion. When rotated in a first direction, the open lever pushing portion rotates the open lever in an open direction. During an open action, the open lever pushing portion rotates in the first direction while rotating the open lever in the open direction at least until the latch starts an unlatch action, and rotates in the first direction without rotating the open lever in the open direction after the latch starts the unlatch action.

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.

A power latch assembly for a motor vehicle closure system configured to provide a power cinching feature and a power release feature. The power cinching feature is configured to retain the ratchet in a cinched striker capture position with the pawl engaged from the ratchet. The power release feature is configured to move the ratchet from its cinched striker capture position to a cinch release striker capture position for unloading the seals prior to release of the ratchet to its striker release position.

A vehicle lid lock device includes a locking member for locking a lid provided on a vehicle, a housing member in which an insertion hole is formed into which the locking member is inserted and which houses the locking member enabled to move backward and forward; and an annular seal member that is housed in a housing portion of the housing member and that seals a gap between an inner surface of the insertion hole of the housing member and an outer surface of the locking member. The seal member includes a main body including an inner peripheral surface with an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the locking member, and a lip portion that protrudes radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the main body and that is in slide contact with the outer surface of the locking member.

A latch assembly, including: a manual release lever rotationally mounted to the latch assembly for movement about a first axis, the manual release lever being operably coupled to an inside release handle; a release link pivotally mounted to the manual release lever for movement about a second axis; a child lock lever rotationally mounted to the latch assembly for movement about a third axis; a gear rotationally mounted to the latch assembly for movement about a fourth axis, the gear being rotated by a motor that drives a worm that meshingly engages teeth of the gear; a child lock switch positioned to detect a position of the child lock lever; a gear home switch positioned to detect the position of the gear; and wherein the gear has a first cam surface configured to contact a cam surface of the child lock lever when the gear is rotated to a locked position and contact of the first cam surface with the cam surface of the child lock lever will rotate the child lock lever about the third axis and rotation of the child lock lever about the third axis will cause the release link to pivot about the second axis.

There is provided a locking device for an opening and closing body, including: a locking portion; a base; a rotation body that includes a protruding portion on a part of an outer periphery thereof; a locking member; and an elastic member that includes a base portion, and a stopper portion configured to restrict a maximum rotation position of the rotation body in a predetermined direction by abutting against the protruding portion of the rotation body. The stopper portion is disposed in a manner of being biased in a direction opposite to the predetermined direction relative to the base portion. A part of the outer periphery of the rotation body is provided with a sliding contact portion that is configured to come into sliding contact with the elastic member in a process in which the protruding portion approaches the stopper portion.

A vehicle latch, including: an override mechanism, the override mechanism having: a central door lock sector; a double lock sector; a double lock link, the double lock link operably coupling the central door lock sector to the double lock sector; a key cylinder; and a key cylinder link, the key cylinder link operably coupling the key cylinder to the central door lock sector.
