Embodiment Construction

[0032] refer to Figure 1A , shows a vehicle 4 having a body 5 with one or more closure panels 6 . The closure panel 6 is connected to the vehicle body 5 via one or more panel operating components 8 such as, but not limited to, hinges 98 and / or latches 100 (eg, hinges 98 and and / or the latch 100 for holding the closure panel 6 in the closed position when closed or for holding the closure panel 6 in the open position when opened). It should also be appreciated that the hinge 98 may be configured as an offset hinge that may be configured to bias the closure panel 6 toward the open position and / or toward the closed position. It should also be appreciated that the hinge 98 may be configured to pivot relative to the body 5 . It should also be appreciated that the hinge 98 may be configured to pivot and move relative to the body 5, for example, the hinge 98 may comprise a four bar linkage configured to allow the closure panel 6 to pivot relative to the body 5 And also allows the c...

Abstract

A latch travel mechanism for a closure panel of a vehicle, the mechanism comprising: a mounting plate for mounting a latch, the latch for retaining the closure panel in a closed position with respectto a body of the vehicle; a support plate coupled to the mounting plate, the support plate for connecting to a body of the vehicle; one or more linkages connected to the support plate at one end and connected to the mounting plate at another end, the one or more linkages providing said coupled to the mounting plate; a locking member mounted on the support plate and configured for retaining the mounting plate in a home position when coupled to the mounting plate and for decoupling from the mounting plate when operated; an actuation system coupled to the linkages for extending the linkages oncethe locking member is decoupled from the mounting plate, in order to move the mounting plate relative to the support plate from the home position to an extended position; wherein the latch is also moved from the home position to the extended position when mounted on the mounting plate.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 623,126, filed January 29, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 667,172, filed May 4, 2018, both U.S. Provisional Patents The entire content of the application is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to vehicle safety systems. Background technique [0004] The automotive industry is trying to better protect pedestrians from head-on collisions with vehicles. When a car hits a pedestrian in a front-end collision, the pedestrian can be thrown up and land on the vehicle's front hood and / or windshield. In an effort to mitigate the severity of the impact, especially to prevent a person's head from striking the engine block or other hard point located directly under the front hood, it is desirable to actively align the front hood with the engine cylinder whenever a front-end impa...
