Abstract: An opening-and-closing device for vehicle door includes: a close-latch mechanism; an electric-powered releasing mechanism; an association mechanism; a relay mechanism; an electric open/close unit; and a control unit. The relay mechanism switches from a connection state to a disconnection state by the operation of an association mechanism in a cancellation direction to allow returning a first ratchet stopped at a release position. The control unit reversely controls the electric open/close unit, operates a door to be opened toward a fully opened position, operate the association mechanism in a cancellation direction, and switches the relay mechanism to the disconnection state, upon detection of operational malfunction of the electric-powered releasing mechanism during closing of the door from the fully opened position to a fully closed position by closing operation of the electric open/close unit.

Abstract: An opening-and-closing device for vehicle door includes: a close-latch mechanism which holds a door at a closed position; an open-latch mechanism which holds the door at an opened position; an electric-powered releasing mechanism which operates the close-latch mechanism; an open-latch interlocking mechanism which operates from an initial position toward a canceling direction in conjunction with an operation of the open-latch mechanism from an unlatched position to a latched position; and a relay mechanism which changes a state of a transmission path of releasing operation from a connected state to a disconnected state to allow returning of a first ratchet which has stopped in a releasing position.

Abstract: A seat lock apparatus includes a case member having a striker entrance groove and a hook lever that is provided rotatably via a hook shaft and is movable between an opening position and a restraining position where the hook lever closes an opening in a striker entrance groove. The apparatus is configured to position the hook lever in the restraining position while positioning the striker in the striker entrance groove when a seatback is erected. The striker entrance groove is formed such that when the striker enters the striker entrance groove and abuts against the hook lever positioned in the restraining position, only a portion of the case member, which is positioned closer to a central side of the seatback than the hook lever is in an axial direction of the hook shaft, is brought into abutment with the striker.

Abstract: A door latch system for a vehicle includes: a latch interlocking mechanism arranged to be actuated in a release cancel direction from a neutral position to be interlocked with the pivot movement of the latch in a predetermined direction; and a release cancel mechanism arranged to be actuated from a connection state where an operation force transmitting path for transmitting the power of the electric driving mechanism to the ratchet is connected, to a disconnection state where the operation force transmitting path is disconnected, by the actuation of the latch interlocking mechanism in the release cancel direction from the neutral position, the release cancel mechanism being arranged to be actuated from the connection state to the disconnection state when the ratchet is in a release restriction state so as to enable the ratchet to return to the engagement position.

Abstract: A lock device includes: a body having a striker insertion groove into which a striker is inserted; a hook lever shaft mounted to the body; and a hook lever rotatably mounted to the body via the hook lever shaft, and that moves to an engagement position where the hook lever is engaged with the striker inserted into the striker insertion groove, and that moves to a release position where the engagement with the striker is released. The lock device is rotatably supported by a support member so as to change an opening position of the striker insertion groove. The hook lever shaft is rotatably mounted to the body, and has a flange interposed between the body and the support member, and the body is supported by the support member so as to rotate about the hook lever shaft as a rotation shaft.

Abstract: A power unit 16 includes an armature 38 rotated always in unison with a cable drum 17 and movable in an axial direction of a drum shaft 25, a flange 39 always connected to a motor 28 side, and a magnetic coil portion 37 bringing the armature 38 into abutment against the flange 39. The armature is disposed adjacent to a side of the drum rim body 23 of the cable drum 17, the magnetic coil portion 37 is disposed on the other side of the armature 38, and the flange 39 is disposed between the magnetic coil portion 37 and the armature 38.

Abstract: A sliding door in a vehicle includes a motor unit, a guide positioned rail along the sliding door, a slider that slides along the guide rail, a cable coupled to the motor unit, a hinge unit in which the outer thereof end is pivotally mounted to a body of the vehicle and the inner thereof is pivotally mounted to the slider, and a control lever pivotally mounted to the slider and coupled to the hinge unit. The cable is pulled by in the motor unit to turn the control lever, which turns the hinge unit and moves the sliding door from a closed position to a projecting position for opening.

Abstract: A door latching mechanism of a vehicle door lock engages with a striker fixed to a vehicle body to close a door. An outside handle on the door is operated. Operating force is transmitted via a rod to an intermediate lever below a windowpane in the door and transmitted via a Bowden cable to an operating mechanism. The force is transmitted from the operating mechanism to the door latching mechanism to release the engagement from the latching mechanism to allow the door to open.

Abstract: A door closure apparatus has a striker disposed on one of a periphery of a door or a door opening of a door, and a lock apparatus disposed on the other of the periphery of a door and periphery of a door opening, wherein the motive force of a drive motor forcibly causes movement of a driven member that is one of the striker and the lock apparatus, so as to completely close a door that was in a half-latched condition, this door closure apparatus having a main actuation member, a stopper member, a position detector, and a controller with a motor controller. The main actuation member can move between a waiting position and an actuation position, the position thereof being detected by sensing an electrical value of the drive motor. A motor controller stops the motor drive when a prescribed rime has elapsed.
