The present invention relates to a trunk lid latch assembly for a vehicle that includes a valet parking switch. A trunk lid switch in the vehicle's interior operates a gear that releases a latch to unlock the trunk lid. The valet parking switch is positioned such that when it is in the off position, it engages the gear with the latch, allowing the latch to be released. When the valet parking switch is in the on position, it is disengaged with the gear so that, even if a trunk lid switch is operated, the latch does not release to unlock the trunk.

An adjustable hinge set and a method for making it improves mounting of a deck lid to a motor vehicle body by permitting mass production adjustments without distortion or multiplication of the parts installed. A hinge set bracket with spaced flanges receiving a pivot strap and pivot therebetween is formed with a substantially vertical slot in each flange. At least one insert having a collar and a stem, reinforces the spacing between the support flanges, as the pivot pin compressionally engages the flanges. Preferably, two inserts having a collar and a stem have a combined length that reinforces the predetermined spacing within a predetermined tolerance when compression is adjusted.

A manipulation lever assembly for a trunk lid may include a manipulation lever including a connection portion wherein the connection portion is pivotally coupled to the trunk lid; and an actuation member, one end portion of which is coupled to a first end portion of the manipulation lever and the other end portion of which is coupled to a locking assembly of the trunk lid, wherein when the locking assembly is unlocked, the actuation member activates the manipulation lever, so that a second end of the manipulation lever is extracted outwards from the trunk lid.

The invention provides a trunk lid plate locking mechanism and a vehicle. The trunk lid plate locking mechanism comprises a trunk lid plate, a rear door sill body and a fastener device which is arranged on the trunk lid plate; the fastener device comprises a fastener and a locking hook which can be in pivot joint with the trunk lid plate; the fastener is exposed onto the outer surface of the trunk lid plate and can pivot to be in contact with the locking hook; the locking hook can be in joint with a locking portion and can pivot to be separated from the locking portion through the pressing of the fastener, wherein the locking portion is arranged on the rear door sill body. According to the trunk lid plate locking mechanism, a fastener body pivots to unlock the locking hook to drive the locking hook to rotate and accordingly the locking between the trunk lid plate and the rear door sill body can be convenient to remove and the hidden arrangement of the trunk lid plate locking mechanism can be implemented through the fastener and accordingly the attractiveness of vehicle interiors is maintained.

The invention discloses a power assisting mechanism for opening a vehicle trunk lid. The mechanism comprises a left arched hinge, a right arched hinge, a left torsion bar and a right torsion bar, wherein one end of the left torsion bar is in fit connection with the right arched hinge, and one end of the right torsion bar is in fit connection with the left arched hinge. The mechanism is characterized in that: a bend is formed on the left of the left torsion bar and is pressed against the left arched hinge; a left rotating arm is arranged under the bend; the end part of the left rotating arm ismatched with a positioning hole which is formed on a side wall inner skin bracket on the left of the vehicle body; a bend is also formed on the right of the right torsion bar and is pressed against the right arched hinge; a right rotating arm is arranged under the bend; and the end part of the right rotating arm is matched with a positioning hole which is formed on a side wall inner skin bracket on the right of the saloon body. The mechanism is more labor-saving to mount. When torsional force is attenuated on the left and right torsion bars, the end parts of the left and right rotating arms can be adjusted to be matched with another positioning hole on the side wall inner skin bracket for continuous use.

The invention discloses a vehicle boot hinge joint device, wherein one end of a first side link is articulated with a frame through a first hinge point, while the other end is articulated with the rod body of a connecting rod through a fourth hinge point; one end of a second side link is articulated with the frame through a second hinge point, while the other end is articulated with the end part of the connecting rod through a third hinge point; the distance between the first hinge point and the second hinge point is between 125.38 and 141.42mm; the distance between the first hinge point and the fourth hinge point is between 229.46 and 242.03mm; and the distance between the third hinge point and the fourth hinge point is between 35 and 38mm. Moreover, when a four-rod hinge mechanism is completely opened, the maximum opening angle a formed by the connecting line of the first hinge point and the second hinge point as well as the connecting line of the second hinge point and the third hinge point is between 102 and 108 degrees. The vehicle boot hinge joint device has the characteristics of reasonable design and easy implementation, etc.; moreover, the device can effectively prevent rain water from flowing into a boot when a boot cover is opened, thereby preventing articles inside the boot from getting wet by rain.
