Abstract: An electronic latching device having a solenoid, latch, locking piece, and a pivot arm. One end of the pivot arm is connected to the solenoid actuator and the other end is connected to the locking piece. Upon electronic activation, the solenoid actuator moves in a lateral direction, which causes the end of the pivot arm connected to the actuator to move in the same direction. This movement causes the pivot arm to pivot about the pivot point, resulting in the movement of the opposite end of the pivot arm to move in a second and opposite direction. This movement of the second end of the pivot arm in the second direction causes the locking piece to move in the same second direction, unlocking the device and allowing for the latch to freely move to an open position.

Abstract: An outer handle device for a vehicle door includes: an outer handle having a supported portion on one end part thereof in a longitudinal direction; a support member having paired leg portions sandwiching the supported portion from opposite sides; and a base having paired support side walls sandwiching the leg portions from opposite sides. The supported portion is pivotably supported on the support member attached to the base by the leg portion engaging with the support side wall. A restriction device is provided between the supported portion and the support member, the restriction device restricting displacement of the support member toward a side on which engagement of the support member with the base is released at least when pulling the outer handle. Accordingly, it is possible to maintain a state in which the support member is attached to the base, even when the outer handle is forcibly pulled.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An actuator controlled electric strike for operating in conjunction with a latch of a lockset. The strike comprises a keeper support bracket movable between blocking and unblocking positions. When the bracket is in the blocking position a keeper is held in a locked position, and when the bracket is in the unblocking position the keeper is movable to the unlocked position. A motor is operatively connected to the bracket and is actionable in first and second directions to move the bracket between the blocking and unblocking positions. A biasing member comprises first and second springs that apply a net force to the bracket. The first spring applies a first force to the bracket in the first direction, and the second spring applies a second force to the bracket in the second direction. When the bracket is in the blocking position, the net force of the biasing member is approximately zero.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock, such as a motor vehicle bonnet lock includes a locking mechanism which substantially consists of a rotary latch and a pawl. The locking mechanism interacts with a striker element on a bonnet. The lock further has an unlocking/opening mechanism for the bonnet, which mechanism is equipped with a release element provided in the interior of a motor vehicle body. The release element is operated twice to open the bonnet. The locking mechanism is transferred to a pre-latched position after the release element has been operated at least once, with the striker element still being trapped. The bonnet is opened from the pre-latched position by lifting the pawl off the rotary latch with the aid of a power mechanism, said lifting being activated separately.

Abstract: A latch assembly comprises an exterior housing, a door latch, a plunger, a resilient member, and an external lever pivotally mounted on an outer face of the exterior housing. The external lever comprises a first leg, a second leg disposed at an angle relative to the first leg, and a pivot mount disposed between the first leg and the second leg. The plunger is maintained in the latched position when the external lever is in a latched position by the resilient member, whereby an entry door cannot be unintentionally shifted from the closed position. The plunger is displaced from the latched position to the unlatched position when the external lever is rotated from the latched position to the unlatched position by the second leg bearing against the plunger, whereby the entry door is free to be shifted from the closed position to the open position.
