A vehicle hood latch uses a fishmouth housing and ratchet mechanism to allow striker over-travel for impact absorption.
Segmented circumferential flanges compensate for latch plate deformations under high tearing loads, increasing maximum force absorption beyond 20 kN.
A resin tailgate structure incorporates a metal film surface member between inner and outer panels to prevent luggage scattering during impact.
A vehicle door handle uses a counterweight to cancel inertial forces on the output lever during side impacts.
A door locking device fixes a blocking lever via a cam surface, preventing doors from opening due to inertial forces during side collisions.
