  • Patent number: 8403378
    Abstract: A base plate is fixed to one of a door and a vehicle body of a vehicle. A latch is pivotally secured to the base plate and engages with a striker of the other of the door and the vehicle body, thereby connecting the door to the vehicle body. A ratchet is pivotally secured to the base plate and engages with the latch to allow the door to be held in a closed position. The base plate is fixed to the door or vehicle body with bolts. The striker which engages with the latch is positioned substantially on a straight line between center of the two bolts.

  • Patent number: 8109542
    Abstract: A base plate is provided in one of a door and a vehicle body of a vehicle. A latch is pivotally secured to the base plate and engages with a striker of the other of the door and the vehicle body. A ratchet engages with the latch to allow the door to be held in a closed position. An emergency-operating portion is mounted to the base plate and manually operated at the interior of the vehicle, so that the ratchet is released from the latch, which is then released from the striker. The door can be opened.

  • Patent number: 5794994
    Abstract: An inside door handle unit to be installed to the inside surface of a door of an automotive vehicle. The inside door handle unit includes a body attached to the door of the vehicle. An inside door handle is rotatably supported to the body and pivotal around an axis. A door lock knob is rotatably supported to the body and pivotal around the axis. The handle and the door lock knob are connected to the door lock device. A spring is provided to bias the handle in one rotational direction of the handle. The handle is rotatably supported relative to the body under the action of a fitting connection between the counterpart device of the body and the counterpart device of the handle, while the lock knob is rotatably supported relative to the body under the action of another fitting connection between the counterpart device of the body and the counterpart device of the lock knob. The handle and the lock knob are independently rotatably supported on the body.
