    摘要: An improved deck lid lock with remote release for motor vehicles. The deck lid lock employs a solenoid operated axially movable armature which is directly coupled to a rotatable lever. The lever is normally biased to a latched position. The lever is lockingly engageable with a rotatable pawl which is normally biased to a latched position. The pawl engages a pair of rotatable, asymmetrically oriented striker cams which are normally biased to an unlatched position. The striker cams define a cavity for engaging a striker. Upon energization of the solenoid, the armature is attracted to the solenoid causing it to rotate the lever so as to disengage the pawl. The normal biasing of the striker cams overcome the biasing of the pawl to rotate the striker cams to the unlatched position thereby opening the deck lid. When the deck lid is closed, contact with the striker over-rotates the striker cams permitting the pawl to rotate to a latched position thereby lockingly engaging the lever. The deck lid lock further includes a rotatable key cam which acts on the lever to enable release of the deck lid through conventional manual key actuations. Improved electrical switch means are provided for signaling when the deck lid is open.

    摘要: The present invention provides an electrical switch that is adapted to compensate for dimensional variations in the alignment between a resilient switch member and a movable actuation member. To this end, the electrical switch has general utility but is primarily intended for use in automotive applications. More specifically, the improved electrical switch is incorporated into a latching mechanism for controlling an electrical circuit that is provided for indicating whether the latching mechanism is in a latched or an unlatched condition. The electrical switch has a pair of overlapping and offset terminal blades and further includes a biasing arrangement for biasing each terminal blade into a predetermined alignment relative to the other. The biasing arrangement is further operable for biasing both blades relative to the movable actuation member of the latch mechanism. The actuation member is made of an electrically insulative material and has a reference surface which, due to the preload biasing exerted on the terminal blades, is maintained in continuous engagement with at least one of the terminal blades during movement of the actuation member.

    摘要: An electrically operated actuator mechanism for remote locking and unlocking of a door. The moveable bolt is coupled to a solenoid armature for movement in a guide which is registered against the door in the closed position. The solenoid coil bobbin is stationary and the pole frame including a magnet, bolt guide and bolt are slidable thereon for locating the bolt guide against the door at installation. A spring biases the bolt into engagement with the door. Upon coil energization in one direction, the magnetic flux of the coil and magnet are sufficient to move the armature and retract the bolt unlocking the door. Upon de-energization of the solenoid coil the magnet holds the armature and bolt in the unlocked position. Upon subsequent re-energization of the coil in the opposite direction, the magnet flux is neutralized and the spring returns the armature and bolt to the locked position. The actuator is particularly suitable for automotive fuel filler access door locking/unlocking applications.

    摘要: A release mechanism for use with fuel filler door latch systems that provides superior control of door movement during the entire service life of the motor vehicle. The biasing mechanism of the present invention includes a kick-out spring that acts directly against the striker bar. As such, the kick-out spring is not exposed to over-stressing and does not cause undue wear of the automobile body. The kick-out spring is a leaf spring having a first end that is secured to the housing, an intermediate section routed between posts extending outwardly from the housing, and a cantilevered second end that is oriented to be engaged and resiliently deflected by the striker bar when the fuel filler door is moved toward its closed position. In the closed position, the striker bar forcibly biases the second end of the kick-out spring to a deflected position. Upon release of the striker bar, the kick-out spring acts on the striker bar for urging the fuel filler door to its open position, thereby permitting the kick-out spring to return to its non-deflected position.

    摘要: A circuit breaker or switch utilizes the Curie point temperature characteristics of an amorphous ferromagnetic metal in cooperation with a magnet to make or interrupt an electrical circuit upon the amorphous material being heated to its Curie point temperature. The circuit breaker has a planar base member with a raised projection which supports a stationary contact member so that the movable contact member overhangs the stationary contact member. The movable contact member is provided with a number of layers of amorphous ferromagnetic material, disposed adjacent the stationary contact, bringing the movable contact member into electrical contact with the stationary contact member. Upon reaching its Curie point temperature, the amorphous ferromagnetic material will become paramagnetic or nonmagnetic material, so that the inherent resiliency of the movable contact material causes the electrical circuit to be made or broken.
