Abstract: An actuating means for a vehicle body closure latch includes a driver or passenger controlled electric motor driving a reciprocable rack through a gear train. The rack is resiliently biased to a neutral position and shifts an actuator from neutral to an operating position when the rack is moved from the neutral position to a driving position. The actuator is engageable with a latch operator to control movement of the latch bolt to unlatched position when the actuator moves to an operating position. When the actuator reaches the operating position, the actuator is positively stopped to stall the motor or power operator. When the power is removed from the stalled motor or power operator by the driver or passenger releasing a switch, the bias of the resilient centering means returns the rack to its initial neutral or starting position and back drives the motor through the gear train.

Abstract translation: 用于车身闭合闩锁的致动装置包括驾驶员或乘客控制的电动机，其通过齿轮系驱动往复运动的机架。 当机架从中立位置移动到驾驶位置时，机架弹性地偏压到中立位置，并且将致动器从空档移动到操作位置。 致动器可与闩锁操作器接合，以在致动器移动到操作位置时控制闩锁螺栓到解锁位置的移动。 当执行器到达工作位置时，执行器被正确地停止以使电机或电源操作器失效。 当驱动器或乘客释放开关从停止的电动机或动力操作器上卸下动力时，弹性定中心装置的偏压将齿条返回到其初始中立或起始位置，并通过齿轮系驱动马达。

Abstract: A seat belt retractor has a reel for winding and unwinding a restraint belt and a winding spring urging winding rotation of the reel to tension the belt about the body of a seat occupant. A pawl is pivotally mounted for engagement with a ratchet wheel carried by the reel to prevent belt winding rotation and thereby relieve the tension on the belt. A spring acts on the pawl to normally urge the pawl toward engagement with the ratchet reel and goes overcenter upon predetermined movement of the pawl away from engagement with the ratchet wheel so that the spring holds the pawl in a disabled position. A control disc is connected to the reel by a friction clutch for rotation therewith and has a cam surface for controlling movement of the pawl into and out of engagement with the ratchet wheel and further cam surfaces for operating the pawl to and from the disabled position upon predetermined sequence of rotation of the control disc.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle has a power operated lift-gate that is opened and closed by two drive units. The typical drive unit has a guide channel, an attachment assembly that is disposed in the guide channel, a flexible drive member that is attached to the attachment assembly and formed in a loop for moving the attachment assembly in the guide channel. The flexible drive member is trained solely around two pulleys at the respective opposite ends of the guide channel to form the flexible drive member in a narrow loop. One of the pulleys is an idler pulley that is part of an adjustable pulley assembly and the other pulley is driven by a power unit that is attached to the guide channel. The adjustable pulley assembly adjusts the distance between the pulleys to take up slack in the flexible drive member.

Abstract: A hood latch engages a striker for latching a hood panel movable between open and closed positions relative to a body panel. The striker is mounted on one of the panels. A housing is mounted on the other panel. A pop-up lever is pivotally mounted to the housing for movement between lowered and raised positions. A pop-up spring bias the pop-up lever to the raised position. A latch lever has a hook for latching engagement with the striker. The latch lever is pivotally mounted to the pop-up lever for movement between latched and unlatched positions and has a handle for manually moving the latch lever. A latch spring acts between the pop-up lever and the latch lever to rotate the latch lever towards the latched position. A detent lever pivotally mounts to the housing for releasably engaging and retaining the pop-up lever in the lowered position and preventing rotation to the raised position. A detent spring acts between the detent lever and the housing for biasing rotation of the detent lever towards engagement with the pop-up lever. A cable is attached to the detent lever to rotate the detent lever away from engagement with the pop-up lever to release the pop-up lever from the lowered position. This release of the pop-up lever from the lowered position allows the pop-up spring to rotate the pop-up lever to the raised position. The latch lever and handle are then exposed to allow rotation of the handle.

Abstract: A belt carriage is movable along a vehicle body mounted track to move an occupant restraint belt between an occupant restraint position and a stowed position permitting occupant ingress and egress. A plastic drive tape is attached to the carriage and has perforations which mesh with a toothed tape drive gear for driving the drive tape and carriage back and forth along the track. An electric motor and a speed reduction gear unit are connected to the tape drive gear by a clutch which couples with the drive gear only when the electric motor is energized so that whenever the electric motor is not energized the occupant may grip the belt carriage and manually move the belt carriage and the drive tape to move the restraint belt between the occupant restraint and stowed positions independently of the motor. The clutch is preferably a centrifugal clutch in which clutch pawls are thrown outwardly by centrifugal force to engage with the tape drive gear when the motor is energized.
