  • Patent number: 8684424
    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.

  • Patent number: 8388029
    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.

  • Patent number: 7804187
    Abstract: 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.
