  • Patent number: 6974165
    Abstract: A vehicle door lock apparatus includes a latch, an operating member for performing a lock operation for rotating the latch to a lock position by being moved from a neutral position to a first position and an unlock operation for rotating the latch to an open position by being moved from the neutral position to a second position, a control unit for switching a moving direction of the operating member, an operated member for being operated along with the operating member moved to the second position, a restricting member for restricting a movement of the operated member in a predetermined position, and a detecting means for detecting the operated member being positioned adjacent to the predetermined position. The control unit enters a standby mode through a process of bringing the operating member to return to the first or second position side after the unlock operation or the lock operation is completed.

  • Patent number: 6964438
    Abstract: A vehicle door lock device includes a latch being rotatable between an open position in which the latch is disengageable from a strikes and a lock position in which the latch is prohibited to disengage from the striker, and an actuator for rotating the latch toward the lock position and including an operating portion engageable with an operated portion formed at the latch and a drive mechanism for moving the operating portion being in an engaged state with the operated portion along a predetermined path. The drive mechanism. includes a guide wall face arranged so as to face the operating portion and a biasing member for biasing the operating portion to be pressed against the guide wall face. The operating portion can be separated from the guide wall face by an external force greater than a biasing force of the biasing member.

  • Publication number: 20040227357
    Abstract: In a door closing device, a cancel mechanism releasing a latch from the full-latch corresponding condition and disconnecting a latch lever from the driving source by an opening operation of a door handle, a first control means controlling the driving source generating a drive force in the positive direction while a full-latch operation engaging with a striker at the full-latch corresponding position thereof, and a second control means controlling the driving source to rotate in the reverse direction after the full-latch operation is finished by the latch lever, wherein the operation amount of the driving source in the reverse direction by the second control means is set to be smaller than the operation amount required to rotate the latch lever from the waiting condition thereof to the rotation end condition.
