A remote control device for a vehicle includes an interior handle coupling lever that rotates in accordance with manipulation of an interior manipulating handle, an exterior handle coupling lever that rotates in accordance with manipulation of an exterior manipulating handle, and a switch device. The switch device includes an interior manipulation detector for detecting rotation of the interior manipulating handle, an exterior manipulation detector for detecting rotation of the exterior manipulating handle, and wiring members each having a detector connection terminal and an external connection terminal connected to the interior manipulation detector or the exterior manipulation detector. The remote control device further includes a body and a housing. The body accommodates the interior manipulation detector, the exterior manipulation detector, and the wiring members and has a connector portion enclosing all of the exterior connection terminals for the wiring members. The housing covers the body.

Remote control for vehicles

A vehicle door lock device includes: an actuating lever linked to an electric motor, rotatable in a rotation regulating range, rotating in one direction toward a closing position on one end side of the rotation regulating range, thereby holding, in a complete-closing state, a door having been in a half-closed state, and rotating in the other direction toward a release position on the other end side, thereby releasing the holding of the door in the complete-closing state; a first neutrality detecting switch generating a first neutrality detection signal having logic switched at a first neutral position; and a second neutrality detecting switch generating a second neutrality detection signal having logics switched at a second neutral position and a release start position which are a boundary position of the neutral region on the closing position side, and a boundary position of the neutral region on the release position side, respectively.

Vehicle door lock device

A vehicle door lock device includes: a latching mechanism maintaining a vehicle door in a closing-stop state; an active lever having a support swiveling around a first support shaft, a link section disposed on the outer side from the support in a radial direction with the first support shaft as the center and having an outer circumferential section linked to and driven by an electric motor, a connection section connecting the support and the link section, and a first engagement section formed in one of an outer circumferential section of the support and an inner circumferential section of the link section; a release lever swiveling around a second support shaft disposed in the recessed portion to be parallel to the first support shaft, interconnected with the latching mechanism, and having a second engagement section engageable with the first engagement section so as to integrally swivel with the active lever.

A vehicle door operating mechanism includes a ratchet interlocking lever, a handle interlocking lever, a motor power transmitting lever, and a force relaying member movable between a normal unlocking position, at which a force is transmittable from the handle interlocking lever and the motor power transmitting lever to the ratchet interlocking lever, and a locking position, at which the force is not transmittable from the handle interlocking lever and the motor power transmitting lever to the ratchet interlocking lever, wherein an emergency unlocking position, at which the force is transmittable from the handle interlocking lever to the ratchet interlocking lever and the force is not transmittable from the motor power transmitting lever to the ratchet interlocking lever, is set within a moving range of the force relaying member, and the motor power transmitting lever includes a guide portion for retaining the force relaying member at the emergency unlocking position.

Vehicle door operating mechanism

A door latch apparatus for a vehicle includes a latch, a pawl, a motor, a release power transmitting mechanism, an active rotary member arranged in a standby area in a normal state, a driven rotation member rotating about a rotational shaft arranged in parallel with a rotational shaft of the active rotary member and away therefrom, a cam projection formed at the active rotary member, a cam groove formed at the driven rotation member and slidably engaging with the cam projection, the cam groove extending away from a reference line when the standby area is arranged close to one side of the rotation range and the active rotary member is positioned close to the one side of the rotation range, and a standby state detecting device detecting whether or not the active rotary member is arranged within the standby area based on a rotational position of the driven rotation member.

Door latch apparatus for vehicle

A device includes a latch of a door and rotates while engaging with a striker of a vehicle body; a pawl which is rotatable between a latched position to restrict a rotation of the latch and a unlatched position to permit the rotation of the latch; a motor; a release power transmitting unit which transmits a rotational power of the motor to the pawl and rotates the pawl from the latched position to the unlatched position. The device further includes a motor-side rotation board, a relay rotation board, and a pawl-side rotation board, which are connected to be integrally rotatable. The relay rotation board become movable to a power shutoff position by pressing operation though an operating hole formed in a door. In the power shutoff position, connecting between the three boards is released, and the motor-side rotation board and the pawl-side rotation board become individually rotatable.

Vehicle door latch device

A door locking system for a vehicle includes a striker, a latch, a pawl allowing and regulating the latch to rotate, a lock release operating portion moving the pawl to release the regulation on the latch rotation, a latch driving motor driven in one direction to shift the door to a fully closed state from a half-closed state, the latch driving motor driven in the other direction to move the pawl to be release position when the lock release operating portion is operated, and a power transmission system switching mechanism connecting a motor output shaft of the motor to the latch for driving the latch in the locking direction, the power transmission system switching mechanism connecting the motor output shaft of the motor to the pawl for moving the pawl to the release position and including a first canceling mechanism for switching a power state.

Door locking system for vehicle

A vehicle door lock apparatus includes a latch, an operating member for performing a lock operation for rotating the latch to a lock position by being moved from a neutral position to a first position and an unlock operation for rotating the latch to an open position by being moved from the neutral position to a second position, a control unit for switching a moving direction of the operating member, an operated member for being operated along with the operating member moved to the second position, a restricting member for restricting a movement of the operated member in a predetermined position, and a detecting means for detecting the operated member being positioned adjacent to the predetermined position. The control unit enters a standby mode through a process of bringing the operating member to return to the first or second position side after the unlock operation or the lock operation is completed.

Door lock apparatus for a vehicle

A vehicle door lock device includes a latch being rotatable between an open position in which the latch is disengageable from a strikes and a lock position in which the latch is prohibited to disengage from the striker, and an actuator for rotating the latch toward the lock position and including an operating portion engageable with an operated portion formed at the latch and a drive mechanism for moving the operating portion being in an engaged state with the operated portion along a predetermined path. The drive mechanism. includes a guide wall face arranged so as to face the operating portion and a biasing member for biasing the operating portion to be pressed against the guide wall face. The operating portion can be separated from the guide wall face by an external force greater than a biasing force of the biasing member.
