  • Publication number: 20180371805
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock apparatus 1 includes a meshing mechanism configured to mesh with a striker, a locking and unlocking mechanism configured to be switched to an unlocking state where a meshing of the meshing mechanism can be released through an operation of a door handle and a locking state where a meshing of the meshing mechanism cannot be released by a driving of a locking and unlocking motor 13, a child proof locking mechanism 27 configured to be switched to a child proof unlocking state where a meshing of the meshing mechanism can be released through an operation of an inside handle of the door when the meshing mechanism stays in the unlocking state and a child proof locking state where a meshing of the meshing mechanism cannot be released only by a driving of a child proof and double locking motor 35, and a control unit ECU configured, when a collision sensor 46 detects a collision, to control to drive the locking and unlocking motor 13 to activate the unlocking operation and to control to drive t

  • Publication number: 20180313118
    Abstract: A vehicle door latch apparatus has a latch, a ratchet, an opening lever that rotates the ratchet in an releasing direction in a door opening operation and a ratchet holding mechanism that prevents the ratchet from being rotated in the releasing direction when the opening lever is unexpectedly rotated in a door opening direction. The ratchet holding mechanism includes an inertial lever that has a ratchet holding surface. The ratchet holding surface abuts against a convex part of the ratchet when the ratchet is rotated in the releasing direction, and thereby prevents the ratchet from being rotated in the releasing direction. The ratchet holding surface is positioned out of a trajectory of the convex part when the inertial lever is rotated about a supporting shaft in the door opening operation, and thereby allows the ratchet to be rotated in the releasing direction.

  • Publication number: 20180291655
    Abstract: A vehicular door latch device includes at least one attachment tool that is locked to a module base, which is fixed to an inside door panel of a door, and a door latch that is locked to the module base via the at least one attachment tool by fixation by being fitted of the at least one attachment tool to the locking member. The vehicular door latch device includes a housing that accommodates a movable element. In the housing, at least one locking member to which the at least one attachment tool is fixed by being fitted is integrally formed.

  • Publication number: 20180186218
    Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes a lock/unlock unit including a lock/unlock mechanism switching whether to transmit a door opening operation to a latch mechanism; and a transmission unit transmitting a lock/unlock operation to the lock/unlock unit. Further, the lock/unlock unit includes a main case housing the lock/unlock mechanism and supporting the latch mechanism, an input member having a rotation shaft passing through the main case, being coupled to the lock/unlock mechanism in the main case, and having an external coupling part outside the main case; and a cover closing an opening of the main case, the transmission unit includes a coupling member coupling a turned member to the external coupling part, and a sub case housing the coupling member, and the external coupling part protrudes from the main case in a vehicle outside direction in a state where the main case is attached to the door.

  • Publication number: 20170268278
    Abstract: A vehicle door control system comprises a door that is supported to a vehicle body; an electric door opening device that can open and close the door electrically; a touch panel display that can display an image like the door; a loudspeaker that can create a voice; and a control device that controls the electric door opening device. The control device performs opening control by which the electric door opening device opens the door by touching an image on the touch panel display and performs voice control by which it is reported through the voice from the loudspeaker that the door opens.

  • Patent number: 7311350
    Abstract: A door device has a plurality of doors that open or close a single opening in a vehicle. The doors have mutually opposing opening ends. A door interlock mechanism interlocks the opening ends of the doors when the doors receive an impact from the exterior of the vehicle while both the doors are in closed states.

  • Publication number: 20030091834
    Abstract: A coated plastic molding having a final coating on a molding body formed of plastic material and having elastic modulus in tension of from about 10 to about 2,000 MPa. The coated plastic molding has such a relationship that a ratio E′/E is 0.5 or more when the elastic modulus in tension of the molding body is E and the elastic modulus in tension of the final coating is E′.
