An application, in particular for motor vehicle closing devices. The basic design of the motor vehicle has an electric motor and an actuating element which is acted upon by the electric motor directly or indirectly via a powertrain. The powertrain is provided with at least one Evoloid toothing. According to the invention, a drive shaft of the electric motor is equipped with an Evoloid pinion which meshes with an Evoloid output gear at the input of the powertrain, thereby directly producing the Evoloid toothing.

In a lid opening and closing device for a vehicle, a restriction member restricting movement of a rod and an electric motor driving the restriction member are housed in a case fixed to a vehicle body outer plate. An emergency operation member extends movably through a vehicle body inner plate while enabling the restriction member to move when the electric motor malfunctions, the emergency operation member being resiliently urged toward an initial position side at least when being operated. A grommet for preventing intrusion of water is provided between the emergency operation member and the vehicle body inner plate. The grommet includes a grommet main portion liquid-tightly mounted on the vehicle body inner plate while having the emergency operation member movably inserted therethrough, and an elastic portion integrally connected to the grommet main portion while enabling the emergency operation member to be resiliently urged toward the initial position side.

An actuating apparatus (1) for opening and closing a cover in or on a vehicle, having a locking and/or arresting kinematics that cooperate with the cover. The actuating apparatus includes a housing (2) and an actuating part (3) received in the housing (2) and movably supported relative to the housing (2). The actuating part (3) cooperates with the cover in such a way that the actuating part (3) performs a movement relative to the housing (2) between a first position and a second position upon a movement of the cover between a closed position and an open position, wherein, in the first position, the actuating part (3) is in a locked state. The actuating apparatus (1) further includes an elastically deformable spring system (4) associated with the actuating part (3), in particular having a progressive spring characteristic.

A lid device includes: a lid; a lid switch that detects displacement of the lid to each of an open position for opening an opening, a closed position for closing the opening, a push start position located further in the closing direction than the closed position, and a pushed-in position located further in the closing direction than the push start position; and a control device that determines a lid switch status based on a detection result of the lid switch and controls an indicator to display the lid switch status. The control device determines that the lid switch status is in an open state when the lid switch detects displacement of the lid to the open position or the push start position and determines that the lid switch status is in a closed state when the lid switch detects displacement of the lid to the closed position or pushed-in position.

A door lock assembly includes a housing having a hollow structure, a lifting shaft provided inside the housing, a driving spring, and a buffering device. A top end of the lifting shaft is configured for assembling a refueling or charging port flap, the lifting shaft being slidably engaged with the housing along a first portion and threadably engaged with the housing along a second portion. One end of the driving spring is fixed and the other end abuts against the lifting shaft for driving the lifting shaft to move relative to the housing. The buffering device provides a buffering function in the when the lifting shaft is threadably engaged with the housing.
