Abstract: A door lock device includes an electrical drive source, which pivots a drive member from a predetermined neutral position, and a return urging member, which returns the drive member to the predetermined neutral position. The drive member pushes a locking lever with a first engagement portion and moves the locking lever to a lock position when the drive member moves from the predetermined neutral portion in a first direction in a state in which the locking lever is arranged at an unlock position. The drive member allows the double lock lever to move to the second position and disengages the first engagement portion from the locking lever when subsequently returned to the predetermined neutral position. The drive member pushes the double lock lever with a second engagement portion when moved again from the predetermined neutral position in the first direction.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device is provided. The vehicle door lock device includes a latch mechanism, an inside lever, an inside open lever, a bushing, a child protector lever, and an intermediate lever. The inside lever is operable from a passenger compartment side of a vehicle and supported pivotally about a support pin arranged in the vehicle door. The intermediate lever includes a guide hole, which receives the support pin. When pushed by the child protector lever as the child protector lever pivots, the intermediate lever pushes the bushing while moving along the guide hole relative to the support pin and thereby moves the bushing to a position between the unset position and the set position.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes an active lever freely switchable between an unlock position and a lock position, a switching actuator, and a switching lever receiving drive force of the switching actuator to move a bushing. The active lever includes a first engagement piece and a second engagement piece. When the active lever is located at the unlock position, the second engagement piece engages with the first engagement piece located at a set position of the bushing to limit movement of the switching lever so that movement of the bushing is restricted within a range between an unset position and the set position. When the active lever is located at the lock position, the first engagement piece is arranged at a position avoiding engagement with the second engagement piece to allow the switching lever to move the bushing between the unset position and a double lock position.

Abstract: A door lock device for a vehicle includes an operating mechanism being selectable of a locked state where a latched state, between a latching member and a latched member, being unreleasable and an unlocked state where the latched state being releasable, an active lever being rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position thereof, and an open link disabling a transmission of an operational force of a handle to the latched member under the locked state and allowing a transmission of the operational force of the handle to the latched member under the unlocked state. The active lever, provided with an elongated bore, is supported by a housing which houses the operating mechanism to be rotatable. The open link is operatively connected to the handle to be slidably supported by the housing and is provided with an engaging portion which engages with the elongated bore to be slidable therein.

Abstract: A vehicle door opening/closing device having a latch mechanism, a locking mechanism, an actuator, and a canceling mechanism is provided. The actuator has an electric motor and a pivotable drive lever. The canceling mechanism operates to block transmission of power between the electric motor and the drive lever when manipulation force of a vehicle door handle is transmitted to the canceling mechanism through the locking mechanism. The manipulation force of the door handle is transmitted to the canceling mechanism only when the vehicle door is in an unlocked state.

Abstract: An electric door latch apparatus includes a manual operation portion adapted to be mounted on a vehicle door and configured to be switched between a closed door retaining state in which the vehicle door is retained at a closed position and a door openable state in which the vehicle door is openable by an electric actuation, the manual operation portion being switched from the closed door retaining state to the door openable state by a manual operation in an electrically inoperable condition, and the manual operation portion positioned within the vehicle door and including a tool fitting hole on a surface thereof facing a vehicle compartment side wall portion of the vehicle door. The manual operation portion is configured to be rotated by fitting a predetermined tool into the tool fitting hole via an operation hole formed penetrating through the vehicle compartment side wall portion of the vehicle door.

Abstract: A door-lock child protecting device capable of preventing a child in a vehicle from opening a door is reduced in size. This device includes an open member (1) being movable in a direction of releasing a door lock, an inside lever (2) for being actuated by an input from an inside handle, a movable operating member (3) for moving the open member (1) in the direction of releasing the door lock, a child protecting member (4) capable of being switched by an operation of an operating portion (41) between a set position to execute child protection and an unset position not to execute child protection, and a base (5). The child protecting member (4) is rectilinearly movable between the set position (S1) and the unset position (S2) and inhibited from being rotated with respect to the base (5).

Abstract: A door lock device includes a latch mechanism, a lift lever, an open lever, a lock lever, an open member including a link member having an operation input portion connected to the open lever and an acting portion engageable with the lift lever, and an elastic member connecting the link member and the lock lever. When the open member is in the unlocked position, the open member engages with the lift lever by an operation of the open lever in one direction thereby allowing an operation of the lift lever. When the open member is in the locked position, the open member idly engages with the lift lever by the operation of the open lever and then becomes engaged with the lift lever in the other direction thereby prohibiting the operation of the lift lever when the open member is switched to the unlocked position from the locked position.

Abstract: A door lock device includes a latch mechanism, a lift lever, an open lever, a lock lever including a main lever and a sub lever mounted on the main lever so as to relatively rotate thereto, a biasing member disposed between the main lever and the sub lever, and an open member.

Abstract: A door closer device includes an active lever which, when it is in an abnormal state-with respect to a latch lever, automatically returns a door to a normal state by means of a door closing operation. An active latch which is pivotably supported by an active lever is freely rotatable in one direction, but is rotation regulated by an arm of an active pawl, i.e. a cancel lever, in the other direction. This prevents the latch lever from jumping over the active latch and causing an abnormal state in which the active latch swings wide with respect to the latch lever.
