A breakaway support body isolates the ratchet and Bowden cable during side impact to prevent accidental door opening.
An inertia-triggered release deploys a flush vehicle door handle during collisions when motor failure would otherwise prevent door opening.
A breakaway support structure separates the ratchet and Bowden cable during side impact to prevent unintended vehicle door opening.
A floating lock blocker follows outer-panel deformation during impact to keep the lever from releasing and prevent unintended door opening.
A deformable reinforcing bracket shifts into the latch lever during impact to stop unintended release and keep the vehicle door closed.
A deformable door reinforcement contacts the latch during impact to keep the door closed and route crash forces into the B-pillar.
A load transmitting member redirects side impact force to the engaging member base, limiting door latch deformation and preventing disengagement.
Multiple locking rods spread side-collision loads across the reinforcement to keep the striker aligned and block door intrusion into the cabin.
An attenuation slot near the interior latch handle limits handle movement during impact so the door stays closed and pillars absorb crash forces.
A catchment claw and T-shaped securing hook keep a sliding door latched to the B-pillar during oblique front impacts and pillar deformation.
Local laser hardening and laser-welded bearing components help a motor vehicle lock absorb crash loads without adding full-section weight.
A restriction mechanism locks the inertia lever in a non-operating position during impact, blocking ratchet release and accidental door opening.
A reinforcing plate and multi-part lock holder raise tear resistance and load capacity so vehicle doors stay latched under crash loads.
A secondary spring module linked by cables adds bias to the interior handle, preventing unintended door unlatching during side impacts.
A two-part sheet metal lock striker improves tear resistance and load absorption at the bracket-to-plate transition under extreme door loads.
A pivoted coupling lever and torsion spring keep the door lock opening chain reliable under corrosion, contamination, and crash loads.
A movable stopper bracket blocks the latch release lever during side impact, preventing unintended door unlatching while preserving normal opening.
A roller pawl cuts ratchet friction to lower door release effort while a secondary pawl preserves striker capture during crashes.
A deformable lock case reinforces the bonnet locking mechanism during crashes, raising force absorption without extra reinforcing parts.
Collision risk signals trigger a vehicle flush door handle before impact, preventing motorized deployment failure during power loss.
An inertial rotor and bridge directly block the latch lever during a crash, preventing unintended door unlatching in flush vehicle handles.
Rheopectic fluid raises viscosity as rotor speed increases, limiting handle motion and helping prevent accidental door opening during crashes.
A rheopectic fluid and immersed rotor limit rotation during crashes, while modular mounting simplifies adaptation and replacement on vehicle door handles.
