In order to keep the latched condition of a door lock proper even when the associated door is considerably deformed due to a vehicle collision or the like, the outside lever extending from the door lock proper is provided with a pointed portion which is directed toward an outer panel of the door. Upon deformation of the outer panel, the pointed portion is forced to stick into the deformed outer panel establishing a locked engagement therebetween and thus preventing the door lock proper from taking the unlatched condition.

A push-pull cable arrangement for selectively transmitting longitudinal motion to two separate destinations has an inner wire having a front end, a rear end and an intermediate node between the front and rear ends. The inner wire is enclosed with a first outer casing between the front end and the intermediate node, and with a second outer casing between the intermediate node and the rear end. A front end of the first casing facing the front end of the wire is stationary, and a rear end of the second casing facing the rear end of the inner wire is also stationary. There is further provided an intermediate unit having a first member to which a rear end of the first casing is fixed, and a second member to which a front end of the second casing is fixed. One of the first and second members is a stationary housing, and the other is a sliding member slidably contained in the housing. The housing and the sliding member receives the inner wire with the intermediate node slidably, and the sliding member is movable longitudinally of the wire in the housing. When the inner wire is pulled, the sliding member abuts against the housing and can not move, so that a pull motion is transmitted to the rear end of the wire. When the wire is pushed, the intermediate node causes the sliding member to move away from the housing, and this movement is transmitted to another destination.

An actuator includes a worm provided with a shaft-engaging hole, a motor provided with a shaft having a worm-engaging part for detachably engaging the shaft-engaging hole of the worm and an end cover having a worm-supporting hole for rotatably supporting at least one end of the worm whereby it is possible to provide a compact actuator which is easy to assemble. The motor and worm are supported between upper and lower complementary casings.

A steering lock device includes a housing and a key cylinder rotatably disposed in the housing. A generally cylindrical member is rotatably disposed within the housing coaxially with the key cylinder. The cylindrical member includes an outer wall with a groove having a first circumferential groove section, a second circumferential groove section axially spaced from the first circumferential groove section, and a junction section connecting the first and second circumferential groove sections. A first surface is disposed at one end of the first groove section at the junction section and inclined at a predetermined angle to the first groove section, and a second surface is disposed at the end of the second groove section at the junction section and arranged generally perpendicular to the second groove section. A latch is slidably disposed within the housing and includes a first end projecting outwardly from the housing and a second end projecting within the groove in the outer wall of the cylindrical member.

An actuator is provided with a motor having a worm, a worm wheel in engagement with said worm and having a pinion-engaging part, a pinion having a worm wheel-engaging part and a rotational axis offset from the rotational axis of the worm wheel, a sector wheel having an output arm and meshing with the pinion, a contact holder, and a positional switch for switching contacts according to the engagement of the contact holder with the sector wheel. The sector wheel is sited at its starting position in a state in which the pinion-engaging part is engaged with the worm wheel-engaging part at a position opposite to the rotational axis of the pinion relative to the rotational axis of the worm wheel. The actuator is compact and uses the motor power very effectively.

To protect a door lock mechanism for an automotive vehicle from water or freezing, the door lock mechanism is arranged between a base plate member and a resin protective cover; the upper end portions of the base plate are covered by peripheral walls extending from the walls of the protective cover; the control levers are led out toward the outside through lead-out openings formed horizontally outward between the end surface of the base plate member and the lower surface of the peripheral wall of the protective cover; and some U-shaped control levers are led out through the lead-out openings so as to take a long way around the side edges of the peripheral walls of the protective cover at the lead-out openings.

In a steering lock device of a type which can unlock a steering shaft of a vehicle without using a key, there is provided a so-called "back-up" means for assuring the steering shaft unlocking condition of the device when the key in a key rotor assumes "ignition ON" position. The means comprises a pivotally supported check lever having a first end projectable into the key rotor and a second end lockably engageable with a steering shaft locking bar. When the keyless unlocking is intended, the first end of the check lever is moved away from the key rotor by an electromagnetically actuated plunger thereby permitting rotation of the rotor toward the ON position disengaging the locking bar from the steering shaft. Upon completion of disengagement of the locking bar from the steering shaft, the second end of the check lever is brought into locking engagement with the locking bar thereby holding the same in the steering shaft unlocking condition.
摘要:
A device for detecting the removal of a cylinder lock used on cars, trunks, etc. when an unjust force is applied to the cylinder lock. The device also detects the locked and unlocked conditions of the cylinder lock. Magnets and magnetic sensor switches are used. A magnetic shield plate shields the flow of magnetic flux between the magnet and the magnetic sensor switch. When an unjust force is applied to the cylinder lock to take off the cylinder lock, the magnetic shield plate will be removed from between the magnet and the magnetic sensor switch, causing the magnet to energize the magnetic sensor switch, thereby detecting the removal of the cylinder lock.In addition, when the cylinder lock is turned by a key, another magnet connected to a rotor of fixed on the cylinder lock approaches either of a pair of magnetic sensor switches, whereby the locked and unlocked conditions of the cylinder lock are detected.
