The invention relates to a motor vehicle door locking system, comprising a motor vehicle door lock (1) on a motor vehicle door (2) and a lock retainer (3), interacting therewith, on a motor vehicle body (4), or vice versa, according to patent application DE 10 2014 007 119.7, characterized in that a hold-back element (5) is provided which keeps clear an inlet opening (6) for the lock retainer (3) in the motor vehicle door lock (1) even in the event of deformations of the motor vehicle door (2) caused by an accident, wherein the hold-back element (5) keeps the opening clear on account of a shaping of the hold-back element.

A method for producing a product (200, 300, 400) comprising a composite fiber part (202, 402) and a second part (201, 401), wherein the second part (201, 401) comprises a carrier part (203, 403), wherein the carrier part (203, 403) is a replica of a press tool (301a, 301b) configured to be heated and to apply a pressure, comprising the steps of: applying (101), in a non-cured state, the composite fiber part (202, 402) on the carrier part (203, 403); arranging (103) the carrier part (203, 403) comprising the composite fiber part (202, 402) on the press tool (301a, 301b); curing (104a) the composite fiber part (202, 402) on the carrier part (203, 403); and removing (105) the product (200, 300, 400) from the press tool (301a, 301b), wherein after removal from the press tool (301a, 301b) the composite fiber part (202, 402) and the carrier part (203, 403) constitutes together at least a part of the finished product (200, 300, 400). Also disclosed is a composite fiber product comprising a composite fiber part and a second part.

A vehicle door control device includes a swipe operation portion provided on a vehicle interior side of a door, a detection unit provided at least in the swipe operation portion and configured to detect a swipe operation, a door lock device configured to hold the door in a closed state, and a controller configured to release a closed state of the door by the door lock device when it is determined that the swipe operation is detected based on a detection result of the detection unit.

A door, a door module therefor, and a method of constructing a door for a motor vehicle is provided. The door module includes a carrier; an electrical latch secured to the carrier, and a latch control system. The latch control system has an inside micro-switch operably connected to the electrical latch via an inner electrical connector, and an outside micro-switch operably connected to the electrical latch via an outer electrical connector. Electrical communication between the electrical latch and latch control system, initiated via selective actuation of the inside and outside micro-switches, provides full normal operation of a vehicle door without need for mechanical linkages.

An emergency release system is disclosed for use with a side door of an automobile. The emergency release system may include a latch, a cable, and a handle connected to the latch via the cable. The handle may be pivotal through a first range to a stop, translatable to surmount the stop, and pivotal through a second range after surmounting the stop to release the latch.

A vehicle door is described, including: a bracket that is configured to support a window during opening and closing; a door locking mechanism that is positioned proximate (e.g., near or adjacent to) the bracket; and an absorption member that is configured and positioned to absorb energy from an impact with the vehicle door to thereby protect the door locking mechanism. The absorption member includes a body defining an internal channel that is configured to receive the bracket in an interference fit such that the absorption member is fixedly securable to the bracket.

A vehicle door structure includes an inner panel, an outer panel, a guard beam and a reinforcing member. The guard beam extends laterally in a cavity between the inner and outer panels. The reinforcing member disposed in the cavity and being positioned on a floor of the vehicle door structure below the guard beam.

This door inner panel is a door inner panel formed of a metal sheet and includes a first panel portion having a first top sheet portion and a first standing wall portion connected to the first top sheet portion, a second panel portion having a second top sheet portion disposed with a gap with the first top sheet portion of the first panel portion and a second standing wall portion connected to the second top sheet portion, a flange portion connected to the first standing wall portion and the second standing wall portion, and a flat sheet portion disposed between the first panel portion and the second panel portion, the first standing wall portion and the second standing wall portion respectively have a level difference portion, and both ends of the flat sheet portion are integrated with the flange portion or the level difference portions.

A motor vehicle with at least one vehicle door includes a reinforcement component arranged in the lower section of the door body of the vehicle door. The reinforcement component is an open profile with lateral walls and an M-profile formed thereon which extend in the vehicle transverse direction in order to absorb forces acting in the vehicle transverse direction in the event of a load.

A door assembly has a door panel for an entryway into a vehicle having an electronic controller. The door assembly also includes a door locking system having a latch mechanism for selectively latching the door panel to and unlatching the door panel from the vehicle body. The door assembly additionally includes an electronic circuit embedded in the door panel, having an electronic chip configured to detect a gesture of a vehicle user proximate the door panel, and configured to generate a signal indicative of the detected gesture. Each of the latch mechanism and the electronic circuit is in operative communication with the controller. The controller is configured to receive the signal from the electronic circuit and command the latch mechanism to either latch or unlatch the door panel from the vehicle body in response to the detected gesture. A method of unlatching a vehicle door panel is also disclosed.
