The present disclosure relates to a closure latch for a vehicle door, and more particularly to a closure latch for a vehicle door equipped with a passive entry feature. To this end, the present disclosure relates to the use of a bidirectional power release mechanism operable in a first mode to release a latch mechanism under normal operating conditions and which is operable in a second mode to release the latch mechanism under emergency operating conditions.

A lock for a motor vehicle door and/or lid includes: a closing hook, a pawl acting on the closing hook to lock the closing hook in closing position, an actuation lever acting on the pawl to release the pawl from a closing position, an electrical motor that actuates the actuation lever by means of a transmission means. The actuation lever has a body connected to a wall of the box in such manner to rotate and translate with respect to the wall of the box, and the actuation lever comprises a follower that protrudes from the body and is engaged in a cam obtained in the wall of the box, wherein the cam defines a closed loop circuit to control the movement of the actuation lever.

An automobile micro actuator, which applies to the cover of an automobile fuel tank or the cover of a charging case, includes a casing with a motor chamber and a locking chamber. The motor chamber has electric locking components that include a motor, transmission components and locking components. The locking chamber has manual locking components that include a rotary push rod, a driving sleeve and a rotary sleeve. The locking components comprise a locking base in the motor chamber, a locking tab for locking the rotary sleeve, and a hook arm for connecting the locking base and locking tab. A passage suitable for the hook arm is provided between the motor chamber and locking chamber. The wall of the locking chamber is provided with a locking hole connected with the passage. The locking tab can pass through the locking hole and form an interference fit with the rotary sleeve.

A motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, preferably an electric lock, which is equipped with an electromotive drive and a locking mechanism that can be actuated by the drive and consists substantially of a rotary latch and a pawl. The drive is provided with at least one evoloid gear stage. According to the invention, a latching element, which is mounted on the rotary latch and/or the pawl so as to be pivotable primarily in a locking mechanism plane, is arranged in the engagement region between the rotary latch and the pawl.

An adjustable cinching striker assembly for installation on a vehicle. The adjustable striker assembly includes a mounting frame for selectively mounting the adjustable striker assembly to the vehicle, and a striker moveably coupled to the mounting frame. A motor is coupled to the striker for moving the striker with respect to the mounting frame from an uncinched position to a cinched position, movement of the striker defining a cinching direction. The cinched position is adjustable with respect to the mounting frame.
