In combination with a vehicle and a closure, one or more lockdown regions disposed between the closure and the vehicle body, the one or more lockdown regions comprising a device comprising an active material disposed in operative communication with the closure and the vehicle body, wherein the active material comprises a shape memory alloy, a magnetic shape memory material, a shape memory polymer, a magnetorheological fluid, an electroactive polymer, a magnetorheological elastomer, an electrorheological fluid, a piezoelectric material, or combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing active materials; and an activation device coupled to the active material, the activation device being operable to selectively provide an activation signal to the active material and effectuate a change in a dimension, a shape, and/or a flexural modulus property of the active material, wherein the change in the dimension, a shape, and/or flexural modulus of the active material locks down or releases the closure from the vehicle. Such active materials include shape memory alloys, magnetic shape memory alloys, electroactive polymers, shape memory polymers, magnetorheological fluids, magnetorheological elastomers, electrorheological fluids, and piezoelectric materials. Also disclosed herein are methods for selectively stiffening a closure hingeably attached to a vehicle body.

The present invention generally relates to an interlocking device and in more particular to an interlocking device with a rotary latch that receives a latching bolt. In operation, the rotary latch can swing out of a release position into a locked position, by means of the bolt engaging a coupling jaw of the rotary latch. When the rotary latch is in a locked position, a safety element in an arresting position prevents rotary latch from swinging into its release position.

A door lock (10) having an opening aid (26) has a rotatable lock latch (12), a detent pawl (18) arresting the latter in the latching position, and a driven driving pin (44) which opens the detent pawl (18) and can be blocked against a stop (50). The previously customary solution of providing the stop (50) on the detent pawl (18) restricts the structural design. In order to obtain more scope in the arrangement of the parts, it is proposed to arrange the stop (50) on a separate blocking lever (48) which can be carried along into its blocking position by the detent pawl (18) during the opening.

An object of an automotive hood structure of the present invention is to increase the hood strength and make it possible to decrease the sheet thickness of a hood inner 2 without the complicated shape of a hood inner 2 around a striker 3 or the increased size of the striker 3. A reinforcement 4, comprising a top flat portion 41 and flange portions 42, and the striker 3 are disposed between a hood outer 1 and the hood inner 2. A flange portion 31a of the striker 3 is lapped on the flange portion 42 of the reinforcement 4, and welded to the hood inner 2. The top flat portion 41 is fixedly bonded to the inside surface of the hood outer 1.

A case assembly kit for assembling a case of any chosen dimensions from a plurality of separate components includes a series of panels which are cut to chosen dimensions to form the bottom, side and end walls of a box-like, open top enclosure base and the top, side and end walls of a similar box-like lid. The kit further includes a series of angled corner strips for connecting adjacent edges of the bottom, side and end wall panels of the base and top, side and end wall panels of the lid, and mateable closure strips for securing along the opposed peripheral upper and lower edges, respectively, of the base and lid. Hinge devices are provided for hinging the lid along one edge to the base, and a latching mechanism is provided for releasably closing the lid. All the separate parts are securable together by bonding.
