Abstract: A latch assembly is disclosed herein, the latch assembly having: a motor for moving a gear of the latch assembly between a lock position, an unlock position; and a release position, the lock position locking the latch assembly, the unlock position unlocking the latch assembly and the release position allows a fork bolt of the latch assembly to be moved into an unlatched position; a first block out lever, the first block out lever being capable of movement between a first position and a second position, the first position preventing the gear from moving from a lock or unlock position to the release position; a second block lever, the second block out lever being capable of movement between a first position and a second position, the first position preventing the gear from moving from the release position to the unlock position; and a fork bolt detent, the fork bolt detent being capable of movement between a fork bolt blocking position wherein movement of the fork bolt to an unlatched position is blocked and a

Abstract: A vehicle lock, which is adjustable between an open position, a pre-closing position and a closed position, the vehicle lock having: a pivotally mounted rotary latch configured for movement between an open position, a pre-closing position and a closed position; a locking element that is pivotally mounted about a lock axis for movement between a closed position and an open position, wherein the locking element prevents pivotal movement of the rotary latch when the rotary latch is in the closed position and the locking element is in the closed position and wherein movement of the locking element from the closed position to the open position allows the rotary latch to move from the closed position to the open position and wherein pivotal movement of the locking element from the open position to the closed position moves the rotary latch from the open position to the closed position; an actuator lever that is pivotally mounted about an operating axis for movement between a closed position and an open position, wh

Abstract: An actuating device, particularly for a vehicle door lock, having a cam wheel (11) comprising at least one cam (13), the cam wheel being selectively rotatable about a rotation axis (11a) in two directions, and an adjustment lever (12) comprising a dog (14), the lever (12) being pivotable about a rotation axis (12a) by interaction between the at least one cam (13) and the dog (14), between two stop or end positions. The dog (14) has a first actuation curve (14a) and at least one second actuation curve (14b). Interaction between the at least one cam (13) and the first actuation curve (14a) on the dog (14) causes no pivoting of the adjustment lever (12), and interaction of the at least one cam (13) with the at least one second actuation curve (14b) on the dog (14) initiates pivoting of the adjustment lever (12) between the two stops.

Abstract: An actuating device, particularly for a vehicle door lock, having a cam wheel (11) comprising at least one cam (13a to 13d), the cam wheel being selectively rotatable about a rotation axis (11a) in two directions, and an adjustment lever (12) comprising a dog (14), the lever (12) being pivotable about a rotation axis (12a) by interaction between the at least one cam (13a to 13d) and the dog (14), in particular between two stop or end positions, wherein the dog (14) has a first actuation curve (14a) and at least one second actuation curve (14b), interaction between the at least one cam (13a to 13d) and the first actuation curve (14a) causing no pivoting of the adjustment lever (12), and when there is interaction of the at least one cam (13a to 13d) with the second actuation curve (14b), the adjustment lever (12) can be pivoted, and the interaction between the at least one cam (13a to 13d) and the at least one second actuation curve (14b) comprises actuation of the at least one second actuation curve (14b) by t

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an interlocking device and in more particular to an interlocking device with a rotary latch that receives a latching bolt. In operation, the rotary latch can swing out of a release position into a locked position, by means of the bolt engaging a coupling jaw of the rotary latch. When the rotary latch is in a locked position, a safety element in an arresting position prevents rotary latch from swinging into its release position.

Abstract: A device for detachably mounting an automotive seat to a vehicle floor includes a seat based mounting means configured to cooperate with a floor based retaining piece of the vehicle. The mounting means includes two hinge-connected retaining limbs configured to grasp the floor-based retaining piece in such a manner that, in a first configuration wherein the retaining limbs have been brought together, the mounting means is locked to the floor-based retaining piece. In a second configuration wherein the two retaining limbs are spread apart, the mounting means is separated from the retaining piece. A sleeve-shaped device is configured to slide relative to the retaining limbs wherein in the second configuration of the retaining limbs the retaining limbs are spread apart and wherein the retaining limbs are brought together and held together in their first configuration by sliding the actuating device over the retaining limbs.

Abstract: The invention is related to an articulated joint fitting preferably for automotive vehicles with a wobble gearing to create a swivelling motion of the joint parts. As a development of the articulated joint fitting, a reduction of costs is achieved in that the spur gear wheel is composed of a plurality of elements and a simplified adjustment of the eccentric with respect to one of the articulated joint fittings is attained.
