    摘要: A latch assembly for a motor vehicle closure panel has a ratchet configured for pivoting movement between a primary striker capture position, a secondary striker capture position, an intermediate striker capture position, an over-travel position and an open position. A primary pawl is configured to hold the ratchet in the primary striker capture position. A secondary pawl is configured to hold the ratchet in the secondary striker capture position. An intermediate pawl is configured to hold the ratchet in the intermediate striker capture position. A cinch member is configured to move from a home position to an actuated position, whereupon the ratchet is moved from the primary striker capture position to the over-travel position, whereat the primary pawl disengages the ratchet, and whereupon the cinch member is returned to the home position, whereat the ratchet is moved from the over-travel position to the intermediate striker capture position.

    摘要: A power-operated vehicle closure system includes a vehicle door equipped with a cinch assembly having a power actuator and a closure latch assembly having a latch mechanism and a latch cinch mechanism. Actuation of the power actuator in a first direction provides a power cinch operation to cause the latch cinch mechanism to cinch the latch mechanism. Actuation of the power actuator in a second direction provides a power ice breaking operation to cause the latch cinch mechanism to open the latch mechanism. The system includes a controller that receives signals indicating the positions of a ratchet and a pawl of the latch mechanism and controls the power actuator to operate the latch cinch mechanism in either the first or second direction.

    摘要: A door handle and actuation assembly for opening a door of a vehicle includes a striker and a latch assembly. The latch assembly includes a latch biased to engage the striker to secure the vehicle door in a closed position. A first latch actuator is configured to receive an electronic signal for disengaging the latch from the striker. A second latch actuator is redundant to the first latch actuator and a power source is available for providing an electrical signal to the second latch actuator. The second latch actuator includes a shape memory alloy having a first configuration and a second configuration that different from the first configuration when subject to an electrical current. The second configuration is cooperable with the latch assembly for disengaging the latch from the striker.

    摘要: In one non-limiting embodiment, a latch assembly includes a claw movable between a latched position and an unlatched position, and a pawl movable between a first position and a second position. The system also includes a pawl lifter operatively associated with the pawl, the pawl lifter movable between a switch-off position when the pawl is in the first position and a switch-on position when the pawl is in the second position, and a pawl switch configured to generate a pawl switch signal, the pawl lifter engaging the pawl switch to an “on” condition when the pawl lifter is in the switch-on position, and the pawl lifter disengaging the pawl switch to an “off” condition when the pawl lifter is in the switch-off position.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling an opening/closing body for automatically opening/closing the opening/closing body. The apparatus includes a displacement body movable and displaced between movable regions including a closing region, a releasing region and a neutral region, a neutral detecting first switch configured to output a first detection signal in response to passage of the displacement body through a first boundary portion of the neutral region, a neutral detecting second switch configured to output a second detection signal in response to passage of the displacement body through a second boundary portion of the neutral region, and a control unit which, when effecting a neutral returning movement for returning the displacement body from the closing region to the neutral region, stores switchover information indicative of switchover of the first detection signal detected in the course of the latch closing movement and to effect the neutral returning movement in accordance with the switchover information.

    摘要: A motor vehicle lock which is equipped with a locking mechanism consisting substantially of a catch and a pawl. Also provided is a sensor arrangement associated with the locking mechanism comprising a fixed sensor and a sensing element that influences signals of the sensor and follows the locking mechanism, or vice versa. The sensor generates at least two different signals associated with the presence and absence of the sensing element in the region of influence of the sensor. According to the invention, the single sensing element also produces at least one additional third signal of the single sensor in accordance with its position in relation to the sensor.
