A door lock mechanism includes a lock claw, a spring attached to the lock claw for urging the same in a direction toward a lock state, a lock release operation piece linked to the lock claw for moving the lock claw in a direction toward a lock release state against a force of the spring when a lock release operation is performed, and a damping device for applying a damping force to the lock claw when the lock release operation is canceled. The lock release operation piece returns the lock claw to the lock state with the force when the lock release operation is canceled. The lock release operation piece is arranged to be separated from the lock claw when the lock claw returns from the lock release state to the lock state with an external force applied to the lock claw.

A cover opening and closing device switches a cover body to rotate between a closed position and an open position. The cover opening and closing device includes a single operation button for switching the cover body between the closed position and the open position, a forcing device for forcing the cover body at least toward the closed position from a near closed position when the cover body is closed, and a switching device for releasing the cover body in the open position and allowing the cover body to rotate toward the closed position when the operation button is pushed.

A movement prevention device for a vehicle door latch mechanism includes a body movable between blocking and non-blocking positions in response to sudden changes in inertia on the vehicle, such as during a side impact crash. The device interferes with movement of the handle to prevent unintended opening of the latch mechanism.

A door handle system includes a door opening lever rotationally supported on a support member, and a damper having a linear piston sliding mechanism. The door opening lever has an angle change device for changing an angle when the door opening lever is actuated. The damper is attached to the support member and arranged to contact the angle change device so that a returning force of the door opening lever after being opened is reduced by the damper.

A door arrester for a door of a motor vehicle includes a holder housing including a passage opening for a retaining bar, the holder housing including a first supporting housing part. The first supporting housing part includes injection-molded plastic and a fastening portion for fixing the holder housing onto a part of the motor vehicle. A swinging element and a spring element are provided. The swinging element is pivotable relative to the passage opening toward the retaining bar. The spring element acts upon the swinging element. The first housing part includes a bearing for receiving the swinging element.

A door lock mechanism includes a lock claw, a spring attached to the lock claw for urging the same in a direction toward a lock state, a lock release operation piece linked to the lock claw for moving the lock claw in a direction toward a lock release state against a force of the spring when a lock release operation is performed, and a damping device for applying a damping force to the lock claw when the lock release operation is canceled. The lock release operation piece returns the lock claw to the lock state with the force when the lock release operation is canceled. The lock release operation piece is arranged to be separated from the lock claw when the lock claw returns from the lock release state to the lock state with an external force applied to the lock claw.

A filler neck for the fuel tank of a motor vehicle with a shutter which is mounted inside the filler neck and which can be actuated by the pump nozzle into an open position for filling the fuel tank and into a closed position via an actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism of the shutter cooperates with a damping device during the closing movement in such a way that the shutter can be closed with a time delay.

The opening control includes a handle, movable in rotation relative to the casing at least between leveling, ejection and opening positions, an ejection lever connected to the handle by at least one common axis of rotation with this handle and an electric actuator for controlling a pivoting of the ejection lever between at least one ejection position and a non-ejection position. In particular, the opening control includes a biasing member connected to the ejection lever and configured to exert a force for returning the lever towards the ejection position according to an ejection direction of rotation, and means for blocking the lever in its non-ejection position. The blocking means are capable of cooperating with the lever in order to release the lever when the handle is displaced in a direction of rotation opposite to the ejection direction, by application of an external push force on the handle.

The invention is directed to a motor vehicle lock for a motor vehicle door arrangement, wherein a pivotable catch and an inlet mouth for a lock striker are provided, wherein the catch can be brought into at least one closed position and into at least one open position, wherein the catch as such in its closed position may hold the lock striker by a holding engagement between the catch and the lock striker and in its open position may release the lock striker, wherein during a closing cycle the lock striker comes into an actuating engagement with the motor vehicle lock such that the catch moves from its open position into its closed position.

When there is a gap between a circular plate (152) of a rod (150) and a cap (28), if a piston (52) is pushed into a cylinder (24), a large amount of air is discharged from the inside of the cylinder (24) through the gap, causing noise generated in the cylinder (24) to leak to the outside. However, in a damper of this invention, the gap between the rod (54) and the cap (28) is made as small as possible, and as a result, the amount of air discharged from the inside of the cylinder (24) when the piston (52) is pushed into the cylinder (24) is extremely small.

A latch mechanism used in conjunction with a dual door access system, wherein the dual door access system is actuated between a latched position and an open position by the latch mechanism using a dual pawl design which is configured such that each door in the dual door access system has its own dedicated latch pawl within the latch mechanism for retaining the doors in the latched position.

A door handle device is provided with: a handle member 10; a handle frame member 20 swingably supporting the handle member 10, the handle frame member being fixed to a door 50; and a key cylinder cover 49 integrated with a key cylinder device 30 capable of locking the door 50. The handle member 10 has a swing center axis O about which the handle member 10 swings relative to the handle frame member 20. On the slide center axis O, an engagement pin 14 is interposed between the handle member 10 and the key cylinder cover 49.

There is disposed a damper 7, which provides a resistance to a retracting movement of a piston 71. A door opening lever 2 has a pressing part 2c formed with a cam surface, which is configured so as to have a distance from a swingable shaft 2a gradually increasing toward a cam end 2e. The damper 7 is configured so that a piston rod 72 is fixed to a depth end of a housing 9, that a gap 9c is formed between an outer wall of the cylinder 70 and an inner wall of the housing 9, and that the cylinder 70 has a depth end 70a constantly brought into press-contact with the cam surface 2d of the door opening lever 2 under a biasing action. When the door opening lever 2 is not subjected to pulling operation, a portion of the cam surface 2d close to the cam end 2e is brought into press-contact with the depth end 70a of the cylinder 70 to retract the piston 71 into the cylinder 70 at the maximum.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door which is fitted with a motor vehicle door lock (5) and an associated locking bolt (3) and with a stop device (6, 7) with corresponding damping elements (8). Said stop device (6, 7) interacts, at least when the locking bolt (3) engages in the motor vehicle door lock (5), with the relevant locking bolt (3) for damping the movements thereof. According to the invention, said stop device (8, 7) is fitted with at least one deflection lever (8) and a transmission lever (7). In this respect, the deflection lever (6) interacting with the locking bolt (3) is designed to at least partially absorb the movement of the locking bolt (3).
