A distal roto-translating pin and high-ratio gear drive help vehicle lids overcome frozen seals with lower actuator force and complexity.
A cam, biasing member, and electromechanical actuator let a truck cap door unlatch from either side, improving access and egress.
A floating alignment component self-aligns the actuator and plunger in a vehicle closure assembly to cut misalignment, wear, and space use.
A linked handle with a sliding rotation center and end-holding spring removes slotted guides while preserving reliable latch release.
A combined rotary and linear actuator simplifies mounting and enables automatic opening and locking of refueling or charging port flaps.
A distal roto-translating pin with high-ratio gearing lets a small motor release and move a vehicle lid despite frozen seal resistance.
A rotatable Bowden cable with a spherical end piece improves lock actuation, eases assembly, and avoids twisting-induced malfunctions.
A pivoting latching element rolls against the pawl to keep prelatch gaps small while reducing unlatching noise and peak loads.
An integrated clip handle simplifies emergency lid unlocking by tilting to pull a cable-driven lock pin with fewer parts and lower cost.
A latch-pawl geometry creates self-locking through lifting moment and static friction, cutting opening force while preserving secure pre-lock holding.
A partition-plate lock with a U-shaped solenoid pin secures adjacent returnable containers while cutting the number of driving sources.
A moving projection device in a vehicle door handle enables varied image zones while retracting into the handle to limit dust and damage.
This case uses a storage element and dual-pawl mechanism to keep motor vehicle locks from sticking or re-latching during powered opening.
One spring serves the locking, securing, and actuation elements to simplify the door lock and maintain stable states across temperatures.
