    摘要: A motor vehicle lock, in particular a motor vehicle side door lock, which is equipped with a locking mechanism composed, essentially, of a rotary latch and a pawl. Also comprising an actuating lever for the locking mechanism and a release lever for the pawl. Both levers can be coupled and uncoupled to/from each other by means of a coupling lever. A mass inertia element which uncouples the coupling lever at least in the event of a crash is also provided. According to the invention, the clutch lever is actuated in normal operation at least slightly with respect to its bearing whenever the actuating lever is acted upon.

    摘要: A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a cover moveable relative to a base and a latch mechanism to provide an unlatched state for the cover and a latched state when actuated by an external/inertia force (e.g. in an event such as a rollover). The latch mechanism may comprise a latch/member extending through an opening in the cover into the base when the cover is closed and retracted into the cover when the cover is open. When the cover is closed, the latch mechanism may provide an unlatched state with the latch in an intermediate position (for an occupant's ordinary use) and a latched state with the latch fully extended to engage a catch in the base (upon the event providing the external force to prevent the cover opening). The component may comprise a console providing a storage compartment or an armrest.

    摘要: A handle device for a vehicle includes a handle body, a latch release lever, a door latch device, an electric actuator and a push portion forming member. The handle body moves between an initial position, a pop-up position and to a latch operation position. The door latch device is released by the latch release lever rotating to a latch release position. The push portion forming member moves from an initial corresponding position to a latch operation corresponding position and has a lever push portion to, when the push portion forming member is at the latch operation corresponding position, rotate the latch release lever to the latch release position. The push portion forming member has a restriction wall to prevent, when the push portion forming member is between the initial corresponding position and a pop-up corresponding position, the latch release lever from rotating toward the latch release position.

    摘要: A motor vehicle latch, in particular a motor vehicle door latch, that in its basic structure is equipped with a locking mechanism essentially consisting of a catch and at least one pawl. Furthermore, an operating lever mechanism for the locking mechanism having at least one coupling lever and one release lever is realized. In its “coupled position,” the coupling lever connects the release lever mechanically to the locking mechanism, and in its “uncoupled” position separates the release lever from the locking mechanism. In addition, an inertia element for guiding the coupling lever is provided. According to the invention, the inertia element has a guide contour for the coupling lever, which guide contour in a crash event separates the coupled coupling lever from the release lever and transfers the coupling lever to its “uncoupled” position without further mechanical contact.

    摘要: A resettable inertia lock assembly may include a chassis configured to be mounted within an access closure of a motor vehicle, a cassette, a reset structure defined on one of the chassis and the cassette, a resettable locking apparatus carried by the cassette and including an inertia-activated member and an engagement coupler, the engagement coupler movable between a first position securing the inertia-activated member in an inertia-activated position and a second position in which the engagement coupler does not secure the inertia-activated member in the inertia-activated position, and a movement device for producing a relative movement between the chassis and the cassette to cause the reset structure to engage and move the engagement coupler from the first position to the second position thereof to allow the inertia-activated member to move from the inertia-activated position to a home position.

    摘要: A structure of preventing door opening in vehicle collision may include a handle housing including a housing stopper, a door handle rotatably mounted around a door handle rotation axis on the handle housing, and of which a rotation contact end portion formed at one end portion thereof, and a blocking lever assembly including a blocking lever rotatably coupled to the handle housing and having an inertia portion formed on a portion of the blocking lever, and an assist lever selectively protruded from the blocking lever, wherein, when the blocking lever assembly is rotated by an external impact applied to the blocking lever assembly, the assist lever protrudes out of the blocking lever to be caught by the housing stopper and positioned in a movement path of the rotation contact end portion.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to a motor vehicle lock, wherein the motor vehicle lock comprises an actuating lever which is pivotable about an actuating lever axis. The motor vehicle lock has an adjustable crash element which is adjustable into a released position in which the locking pawl is disengageable by an actuation of the actuating lever and into a crash position in which the crash element blocks the actuating lever in a blocked position or decouples the actuating lever from the locking pawl. It is proposed that the crash element is coupled to the actuating lever such that, with an actuation of the actuating lever and depending on the actuating lever speed, the crash element reaches the released position from a central position either in a first adjusting direction or the crash element reaches the crash position in a second adjusting direction and is latched in the crash position.
