A release lever and ejector lever disengage the drive pawl from the rotary latch to stop door closing during finger or clothing jams.
An angled rotary latch region replaces separate pre-latch parts, cutting lock complexity while keeping tailgate latching secure under heavy loads.
A blocking lever locks the deployed handle against shock loads, protecting the actuator gearbox and stabilizing door handle operation.
Position feedback lets one control assembly coordinate multiple vehicle locks, adapting closing sequences to wear, soiling, and power needs.
A blocking lever locks the deploying levers in the deployed position, absorbing external loads and protecting the actuator gearbox.
A door closing device uses a release member to disconnect the drive cable from the bolt for instant opening.
A motor vehicle door lock uses a spring-loaded pawl to mechanically decouple the opening device from the ratchet in its idle state.
Variable engagement between the triggering train and ejector lever reduces actuating forces while maintaining emergency capability.
Rotary latch mounts pawl to save space, preventing unintended opening via nested stop surfaces.
A compact rotary latch lock integrates joint elements in a common plane to transmit movement efficiently.
A dual actuated hood latch uses a cancel lever and cam surfaces to pivot the latch member between positions.
External motor attachment balances weight distribution in compact door lock housings.
A motor vehicle door lock uses a common spring to actuate the rotary latch and accumulator lever for reliable pawl control.
Single pawl ratchets on catch and load arms, cutting vehicle fuel consumption by minimizing structural complexity.
A motor vehicle tailgate lock uses a coupling member with a transmission ratio to actuate the pawl against the rotary latch.
A bistable toggle spring holds a rotatable storage lever in contact with lock components to stabilize the pawl position.
