A vehicle door lock is disposed in a vehicle door and includes a ratchet wheel rotatable between a locked position where it captures a lock catch disposed on a vehicle body and an unlocking position where it releases the lock catch to allow the vehicle door to be opened. The vehicle door lock further includes an ice-breaking mechanism disposed in the vehicle door, and the ice-breaking mechanism applies a torque to the ratchet wheel to cause the ratchet wheel to rotate in a direction to push the lock catch so as to open the vehicle door. The vehicle door lock can be opened by pushing the ratchet wheel with e ice-breaker mechanism when the vehicle door is frozen or deformed due to collision, the operation noise is low, the cost is low, and the paint surface of the vehicle door is protected.

A partial-opening system for a motor vehicle opening leaf includes an actuator having a fixed frame mounted on the opening leaf and an actuating element moveable between a retracted position in which the opening leaf is in a closed position, and a deployed position in which a free end of the actuating element is adapted to bear on the central pillar in order to partially open the opening leaf. The system further includes a device for retaining the opening leaf having a retaining end-piece arranged at the free end of the actuating element of the actuator and a retaining element adapted to be mounted on the central pillar of the vehicle, the retaining device adapted to maintain the opening leaf in its retracted position and to release the opening leaf in the case of an opening action on the opening leaf on the part of the user.

The present invention provides a tailgate switching device comprising: a housing (100) configured to at least partially allow a flexible operation; a substrate (200) disposed within the housing (100); a switching unit (300) including a switching terminal (330) configured to be at least partially movable within the housing (100) through at least partial pressing of the housing (100) and at least partially disposed on the substrate unit (200) to cause a signal change to occur through the relative movement between the switching terminal (330) and the housing (100)/the substrate unit (200); and a cable (400) directly connected at one end thereof to the substrate unit (200) and connected at the other end thereof to the outside of the housing (100).

A forward/backward movement device includes: a case; a forward/backward member; a biasing member that biases the forward/backward member; a moving member that is housed in the case and moves between a first position where the forward/backward member is capable of moving forward by a biasing force generated by the biasing member and a second position where the forward movement of the forward/backward member is stopped; and a restricting member that restricts a movement of the moving member by moving to a position for restricting the moving member while a lid is open, in which the restricting member restricts a movement of the moving member from the first position to the second position in a case where the forward/backward member moves backward while the lid is open.
