Patent number: 8388029Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2006Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Valeo Securite HabitacleInventors: Jean-christophe Pecoul, Christian Wattebled

Patent number: 7804187Abstract: The invention relates to an electrically-openable lock fitting for a motor vehicle, connected to main electric supply means (3) and to emergency electric supply means for the lock fitting in the event of a malfunction of the main electric supply means. The emergency electric supply means comprise a power reserve component (6) and electric energy reserve means (9), and an identification element (4) ensuring the identification of a user. The identification element comprises at least one signal receiver (4) communicating with an element which can deliver a signal in order to identify the user. The connection of the electric energy reserve means (9) is controlled in such a way that the electric energy reserve means (9) supply the energy reserve component (6) once identification has been made and authorized.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2004Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Valeo Securite HabitacleInventors: Jean-Christophe Pecoul, Tamim Belhaj
