자동차의 선회 가능한 덮개를 열기 위한 구도장치는 문턱의 내측에 배열되고 지지 하우징과 적어도 선회 가능한 구동 그립으로 이루어진다. 간단하고 저렴하며 조립 생산이 가능한 구동 장치를 얻기 위해, 그리고 효율적으로 도난을 방지하기 위해 지지 하우징은 부분적으로 종방향으로 연장된 내부 문턱 셔터를 형성하고, 적어도 선회 가능한 구동 구립리 그의 자유 단부에서 차량 외측면을 향한 몰딩부를 형성하며 이는 차문 폐쇄시 부분적으로 구동 그립의 고 선회 및 커버 열림을 막을 만큼 내부 문 라이닝을 견고하게 파지한다.

Locking device

FIELD: motor vehicle industry. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices intended for vehicle bonnet locking. Device includes a control cable, a controlled cable, a housing, a hollow cylindrical bushing connected to the controlled cable, cylindrical plunger connected to control cable, and at least one locking ball. One cylindrical channel is formed in the housing, bounded at the ends by the first flange equipped with a hollow cylindrical protrusion with formation of cylindrical cavity between the protrusion and the housing, and the second flange having through axial holes. Cylindrical plunger is made with possibility of longitudinal movement inside the cavity of the cylindrical projection of the first flange, through the axial hole of which a control rope is laid. Cylindrical sleeve spring-loaded on the side of rope laid through axial hole of the second flange is made with possibility of longitudinal movement inside the cavity formed between cylindrical ledge of the first flange and the housing. Plunger side surface and cylindrical bushing inner surface are made with circumferential lateral groove. Cylindrical projection of the first flange has a through transverse hole. Cylindrical sleeve is made with possibility of fixation by means of a locking ball placed in the above hole when the cylindrical sleeve and the plunger are located so that the transverse groove of the bushing is opposite to the hole, and transverse groove of plunger is shifted relative to them, and with possibility of release from fixation and with possibility of movement when cylindrical bushing and plunger are located so that their transverse grooves and hole are opposite to each other. EFFECT: simplified design and reduced overall dimensions. 1 cl, 3 dwg РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ (19) RU (11) (13) 2 686 588 C1 (51) МПК B60R 25/01 (2013.01) E05B 83/16 (2014.01) ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТИ (12) ОПИСАНИЕ ИЗОБРЕТЕНИЯ К ПАТЕНТУ (52) СПК B60R 25/01 (2019.02); E05B 83/16 (2019.02) (21) ...

Vehicle compartment latch

A vehicle compartment latch has a support that is fastened to a deck lid. A fork bolt is pivotally attached to the support and moved from an unlatched position to a latched position by a striker when the deck lid is closed. The fork bolt is held in the latched position by a moveable detent lever that is moved to a release position to release the fork bolt so that the deck lid can be opened. The closure latch includes a detent lock-out that holds the detent lever in the release position until the deck lid is opened once the fork bolt is released. The detent lock out includes a striker position lever that is moved to an engaged position by the striker being retained by the fork bolt and a detent pawl that holds the detent lever in the released position once the detent lever is released.
