A controller system is provided for a motorized moveable striker assembly on a vehicle door or window. The assembly includes a striker on the door post which is moveable by an electric motor between extended and retracted positions. A latch on the door releasably engages the striker. Switches in the latch sends signals to the controller to actuate the motor. After the latch is engaged, the controller retracts the striker from the extended position to fully close the door. When the latch is disengaged from the striker, the latch switch sends a signal to controller to actuate the motor so as to extend the striker from the retracted position to the extended position as to prepare for the next door closing. Anti-pinching control and temperature compensation is also provided.

A locking compression latch that can be changed from a locked state to an unlocked state either mechanically by turning an appropriate key in a key plug or electrically by an electric signal. Once in an unlocked condition, the compression latch can be opened by rotating a latch lever that disengages a protrusion on the latch lever from a striker mounted on the base of the compression latch. The compression latch can be changed from a locked to an unlocked condition by the electrical signal while the key plug is in the locked position.

A device for switching and actuating multiple functions of a charging and/or filler-neck compartment system having a charging and/or filler-neck compartment and a cover which is movable relative to the charging and/or filler-neck compartment. The device has a drive element with a drive shaft, wherein the drive shaft is operatively connected to the cover such that, when the drive shaft rotates, the cover is movable relative to the charging and/or filler-neck compartment. The device furthermore has a mechanical control or switching mechanism, in particular in the form of or with a gearing mechanism, wherein the mechanical control or switching mechanism is designed such that, when the drive shaft rotates, a rotational movement of the drive shaft can be picked off by the mechanical control or switching mechanism for the purposes of manipulating at least one functional component of the charging and/or filler-neck compartment system as required.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism substantially comprising a rotary latch (1) and a pawl (2). Moreover, an actuating lever chain (4, 5, 9) acting on the locking mechanism (1, 2) is provided with a coupling lever (9), wherein the coupling lever (9), when engaged, closes the actuating lever chain (4, 5, 9) in order to actuate the lock (1, 2) and opens it when disengaged. The coupling lever (9) interacts with a positioning lever (5), which controls the coupling lever, in order to change between at least two stable end positions, engaged and disengaged. According to the invention, the positioning lever (5) engages, with a pin (7), in a bidirectional slotted link (8) of the coupling lever (9). The bidirectional slotted link (8) is designed in such a way that, when the positioning lever (5) is acted upon, the pin (7) reaches its first end position along a first path (11) and its second end position along a second path (12) separate therefrom.

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.
