A self-adjustable lock knob bezel assembly includes a body of a polymeric material. The body includes an elastically flexible umbrella having a cylindrical bore extending through the umbrella. Multiple dynamic interface members are positioned within the cylindrical bore and extend away from an inner perimeter wall defined by the cylindrical bore toward a longitudinal central axis of the body. Multiple flexible finger sets extend outwardly from the body. Multiple elastically deflecting legs are positioned below the finger sets. A vehicle door panel includes an aperture receiving the body. A lock knob is positioned within the cylindrical bore and directly contacts each of the dynamic interface members in each of a raised un-locked position and a lowered locked position.

A door and a vehicle including the door are disclosed. The door includes a door body; a latch movable between locked and unlocked positions; a first handle accessible from an exterior side of the body; a second handle accessible from an interior side of the body; and a rod connecting the latch and the handles, the handles rotating about a common axis, the first handle being rotatable between a first and a second position, the second handle being rotatable between a third and a fourth position, the latch being in the locked position when the first handle is in the first position and the second handle is in the third position, the latch being in the unlocked position when the first handle is in the second position, the latch being in the unlocked position also when the second handle is in the fourth position.

An interconnected lock has adjustable offset spacing between latchbolt and deadbolt lock mechanisms, and a sliding pusher mechanism therebetween. The pusher mechanism is operable upon operation of an interior actuator to bear against the deadbolt lock mechanism and move the deadbolt along the second axis from the latched to the unlatched position at the same time that the operation of the interior actuator moves the latchbolt along the first axis from the latched to the unlatched position. The pusher mechanism includes an arm that bears against the deadbolt lock mechanism and may be retracted and extended between a first length and a second, longer length when changing offset spacing between the deadbolt and latchbolt. The arm is extendable from the first length to the second length without adding or removing any components thereof.

A mechanism for a double-pull type door latch is described. A return mechanism is described that includes a final lever coupled to rotate about a pivot. A position wheel is rotationally coupled to the pivot, the position wheel having a first notch and a second notch, the position wheel being rotatable in a first direction. A cam member is coupled to the position wheel, the cam member having a cam surface. A drive lever is arranged to engage the first notch and the second notch. A biasing member is arranged to apply a force on the cam surface to move the position wheel in the first direction when the drive lever is moved into the second notch.

The invention relates to an actuating handle (100) for a door with an escutcheon (104) and a handle (102) for actuating a locking device arranged in the door. The handle (102) for actuating the locking device is mounted in the escutcheon (104) rotatably about a first axis of rotation. The actuating handle (100) moreover has a blocking device (106), having a release position in which a rotation of the handle (102) about the first axis of rotation is released, and a blocking position in which a rotation of the handle (102) about the first axis of rotation is blocked by the blocking device (106). The actuating handle (100) moreover has an actuating mechanism (112) for the blocking device (106). According to the invention, it is provided that the actuating mechanism (112) has a sliding element (108) which is displaceable along a circle segment centered around the first axis of rotation, wherein a displacement of the sliding element (108) along the circle segment brings about an actuation of the blocking device (106).

A locking structure for a cover covering a handle seat may include a cover placed to cover a disk-shaped handle seat mounted on a surface of a door and may include a cover locking mechanism, a handle seat-side locking portion, and a rotation prevention mechanism. The cover locking mechanism may include a plurality of protrusion-shaped cover-side locking portions protruding inward at circumferential intervals at an opening end edge of the cover. The handle seat-side locking portion may include a groove portion and a hooking groove portion to which the cover is hooked when the cover-side locking portion is inserted when the cover placed is rotated. The rotation prevention mechanism may include a biased latch arranged at the groove portion. The latch may have an engagement portion projecting and retracting with respect to a bottom surface of the groove portion.

A operation knob device (10) for an armrest, that is configured to unlock the armrest and moves the armrest to a useable state, includes: a knob min body (30) having an operation knob (32); and an inner case (50) disposed around the knob main body (30) and configured to expose the operation knob (32) from a first opening (55). The inner case (50) includes a plurality of case protrusions (60) that protrude from a lower region (54a) of a lower edge of the first opening (55) toward the knob main body (30). The knob main body (30) includes a plurality of main body protrusions (40) that protrude toward the lower region (54a) of the inner case (50). The plurality of case protrusions (60) and the plurality of main body protrusions (40) are alternately disposed when viewed in a +Z direction.

The present disclosure is directed to a lever apparatus having a lever connected to a latch assembly operable to open the latch when rotated to a second position from a first position under an actuation torque. The apparatus further includes a magnet assembly with first and second magnets operably coupled to the lever apparatus. The magnet assembly is operable to generate a return torque in an opposite direction to that of the actuation torque such that the lever is returned to the first position after the actuation torque is removed from the lever.
