In a lid opening and closing device for vehicle, a rod can move forward and backward between pushed-in and protruding positions, and is supported on a case so that the rod can attain a lid closed position where the rod returns from pushed-in position toward protruding position only by predetermined movement amount. An axial position-restricting groove has a pin-receiving portion and is formed on the rod or a coupling member. An elastic member has a pin inserted into the groove while being receivable by the portion when the rod is at lid closed position, the elastic member being supported on the case and exhibiting resilient force making the pin resiliently abut against the rod or coupling member. The case is provided with a restricting part capable of abutting against the elastic member, and restricting displacement of the elastic member to a side where the pin is disengaged from the groove.

Provided is a fuel adapter cover structure of a vehicle which can hide a fixing portion for fixing a hinge to a body and can reduce the number of components. A fuel adapter cover structure of a vehicle includes: an oil supply port side recessed portion, a first cover portion, a second cover portion, and a hinge storage portion. The oil supply port side recessed portion has an oil supply port side flange. The hinge storage portion stores a hinge supporting a fuel lid. The first cover portion and the second cover portion are continuous to the oil supply port side flange. By the first cover portion and the second cover portion, a first rivet and a second rivet which support the hinge on a vehicle-body are covered from the outside.

A vehicle mounted fuel filler pocket and hingedly attachable door assembly, having a housing with an upper rim edge defining a pocket shaped body to which is communicated a fuel filler tube. A door overlays the upper rim edge in a closed position. A hinge bracket secures to an underside location of the door at a first end, the hinge bracket having a widthwise extending pin at a second end which is pivotally supported within circular capture recesses defined in a subset area of the pocket shaped body to permit the door to be pivoted from the upper rim edge to an open position. A detent cam mechanism is provided for biasing the door at each of the closed and open positions.

A latch device includes a case, a rod juts out from inside the case so as to adopt an advanced position, a rod biasing member biases the rod in a jutting out direction pushing the rod out from inside the case, a lock mechanism that includes a slide cam that moves together with the rod in the jutting out direction and a rotation cam that is relatively rotatable with respect to the slide cam about an axis of the rod, with the lock mechanism locking the rod in a retracted position in the case due to the rotation cam engaging with the slide cam and rotating due to the rod being pressed in, a guide mechanism for rotating the rod about the axial direction thereof when the rod is advancing or retracting, and an engagement portion that engages with an engaged portion when the rod has been locked.

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 locking system for locking a lid of a vehicle including: a lid, a movement actuator for moving the lid, a lock having a roto-translating pin with a head suitable for being engaged in a seat of the lid, and an actuator of the lock that moves the roto-translating pin. The actuator has an electric motor and a motion reducer. The electric motor is suitably configured so as to rotate in a first rotational direction to move the roto-translating pin from a retracted position to an extracted position, and in a second rotational direction to move the roto-translating pin from the extracted position to the retracted position.

A cover opening-closing device comprises a rod, a casing in which at least a portion of the rod is stored, a lock unit, an interlock mechanism, and a connection unit. The lock unit can rotate about a central axis line between a lock position, in which locking with the cover is possible, and a release position, in which locking is not possible. The interlock mechanism is configured so that the rotation of the lock unit and the displacement of the rod are interlocked. The connection unit is configured so as to connect the lock unit to the casing and to restrict displacement of the lock unit in the direction of the central axis line.

A locking device for locking a charging flap of an electrically operated motor vehicle, with a latching device, a latch catch device and a receiving device. The receiving device includes a receptacle in which the latch catch device is accommodated in a form-fitting manner and is fixedly clamped. The latching device is connectable to a body component of the motor vehicle and the receiving device is connectable to the charging flap of the motor vehicle. The latching device is connectable in a locking position in a form-fitting manner to the latch catch device and in a release position is separable from the latch catch device. The latch catch device is designed in order, in the locking position of the latching device, to be removable without destruction from the receptacle by exertion of a predetermined minimum pull-off force by the latching device along a pull-off direction.

In the lid opening and closing device, the rotating body at the initial position rotates to one side in the rotation direction, so that the lock member is disengaged from the first link. Further, the first link and the rotating body are provided with a differential connecting mechanism, and the differential connecting mechanism connects the rotating body and the first link to operate the link mechanism at the retracted position after the lock member is disengaged from the first link, when the rotating body is rotating. As a result, the differential connecting mechanism imparts a time difference between the two operations of the rotating body. Therefore, the lock member and the link mechanism can be operated by rotationally driving the rotating body by a single actuator.

The forward/backward movement device includes: a case; a forward/backward member, and a drive mechanism. In the forward/backward movement device, the drive mechanism includes: a drive section including a drive section main body and a drive shaft; a gear section; an arm section; and a lock portion including a conversion mechanism and an engaging section. In the forward/backward movement device, the forward/backward member and the drive section are housed in the case such that respective axes of the forward/backward member and the drive section are substantially parallel to each other, and the arm section includes a rotation axis, in which a plane containing a rotation direction of the arm section with the rotation axis is substantially parallel with respect to a plane containing an axial direction of the drive section and an axial direction of the forward/backward member.
