Abstract: A motor vehicle has a door latch having in turn an electrical operator and is displaceable thereby between a latched position holding a respective door shut and an unlatched position permitting the door to open freely. An actuating system has a deformable actuating body incorporating electrical conductors and constructed to radically change resistance between the conductors when deformed and a control circuit connected to the conductors and to the electrical latch operator for actuating the operator and displacing the latch in the open position on deformation of the body. The body is elongated and formed with a longitudinally extending cavity. In addition it is of an elastically deformable plastic and the conductors are imbedded in and extend longitudinally of the body. The conductors are parallel and spaced.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle door holding a lock provided with actuating elements operable to lock the door has an actuating system having an outside opening handle displaceable on the door, a pivot on the door, a first compensating lever pivotable on the pivot and having an outer end forming a seat, and a first rod part having an outer end connected to the handle and an inner end bearing on the seat in a predetermined direction. A second rod part having an outer end connected to the lock actuating elements and an inner end connected to an outer end of a second compensating lever pivotable on the pivot. A spring braced between the levers urges their outer ends angularly apart with the outer end of the first compensating lever bearing against the predetermined direction on the first rod-part inner end. A screw engaged between the levers offset from the pivot can releasably fix the levers together for joint pivoting. This screw is loosenable for relative pivoting of the levers.

Abstract: A power operator for opening and closing a trunk lid of a motor vehicle has a spring engaged between the vehicle and the lid for urging the lid from a closed position into an open position, a rod having an outer end connected to the door and an inner end, and a clutch rotatable about a clutch axis and having an output member connected to the rod inner end and an input member. A drive motor connected to the input member is energizable for rotating the clutch elements and thereby displacing the rod and door. Another spring in the clutch rotationally decouples the clutch elements from each other only when a torque applied to the input element exceeds a predetermined limit. A controller energizes the motor for a predetermined amount of time.
