Abstract: The invention relates to a closing assisted electric lock for the opening of an automobile, that comprises: a bolt (5) including first (19) and second (20) notches, said bolt (5) interacting with a strike and being capable of rotating between an open position, a position closed at the first notch of the lock and a position closed at the second notch of the lock; a pivoting ratchet (13) capable of interacting with said bolt (5) for preventing the rotation thereof (5) into a closed position at the first and second notches of the lock; a bolt (5) driving lever for rotatingly driving the bolt (5) between the closed position at the first notch and the closed position at the second notch of the lock; characterized in that the driving lever (9) includes a protrusion (37) provided so that said bolt (5) is capable of pivoting the lever (9) when said bolt (5) rotates from the open position to the closed position at the second notch of the lock.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lock provided with a single switch to indicate the “open” or “closed” state of said lock, comprising an actuator (5, 6) acting on a kinematic chain (7) to produce the functions of the lock, a switch (19) adapted to indicate the states of the lock, a double-notched closure (2, 3) bolt (1), a pawl (9) including a pawl tooth (4) designed to be urged into engagement with the first (2) or second (3) notch for closing the bolt (1). The invention is characterized in that it comprises a mobile cam (12) for actuating the switch, said actuating cam (12) being mobile under the action of the bolt (1) and/or of the pawl (9) during the opening and/or closing phase of the lock.

Abstract: The motor vehicle comprises a swinging door (PB) and a sliding door (PC) which are mounted in the frame (BA) of the vehicle without a central post between the swinging door and the sliding door. In this vehicle, a first lock (PS) is intended to connect the swinging door (PB) to the sliding door (PC), at least one second lock (DS) is intended to connect the swinging door to the frame of the vehicle, and at least one third lock (TS) is intended to connect the sliding door (PC) to the frame (BA) of the vehicle. The first lock has two latch bolts forming a gripper which closes around a striker thus allowing one of the two doors to be closed and/or opened independently of the other door.

Abstract: The lock (S), intended in particular for an automobile door, includes a rotary bolt (1) intended for cooperation with a keeper (2), and includes motive means arranged to assist at least the closure, as well as manual control means enabling the assurance of the opening and closure of the assisting motive means; it includes a transmission device (T) of the freewheel type (17), mounted in a recess (18) of the bolt (1) and arranged to communicate to the bolt a rotational movement originating in the assist means for the direction that corresponds to the closure of the lock (S); anti-lock means are arranged to be actuated by the manual control means, with a view to preventing the normal action of locking the freewheel (17), and uncoupling the bolt from the assist means in the event of failure of these means.

Abstract: A closing valve for interlocking a movable element and a fixed element so that both elements can be disengaged. One of the elements has a latch, while the other element has a striker which is capable of operating with the latch in order to ensure interlocking of the two elements. Either the latch or the striker is associated with a motor system for controlling the interlocking and/or the disengagement of the two elements when the clasp has been manually engaged with the latch. At an approach stage, the element which is associated with the motor can be disconnected by way of a disengaging mechanism which is triggered when the resistance for closing becomes greater than a preset level. At a final stage, the disengaging mechanism is inhibited. This invention can be used, for example, for electrically closing an automobile trunk.
