A retractable outside door handle uses a vertically arranged four-node link mechanism to achieve linear protrusion and smooth retraction.
A closing device uses a disengageable force flux element to mechanically interrupt motor drive transmission.
A clip retains the spindle axially, eliminating thrust plates and reducing part count in vehicle door locks.
A closure latch assembly uses a mono-directional power release gear to actuate the pawl and ratchet mechanism.
