Method of immobilizing nuclear waste

This device includes a locking component (2) attached to an element of the vehicle, for example, the inner wall of the boot, and penetrating, in locked position, into a window (12) of a second element, for example the folding backrest (1) of a rear seat, to be held in this position by a lock (3). The said second element includes a locking indication aperture (54) and a pivoting lever (5) returned by a spring (56) to a stable position where an end area (59) of the lever, visible in the indication window, indicates absence of locking, the said lever (5) being positioned so as to be moved out of the said stable position by the locking component when the latter is in locked position.

Locking device for a movable element of an automobile vehicle seat with

A movable lock is provided with a spring return to normally maintain the lock in a lock position. A button acts on the lock by means of a push rod. A translation guide is provided for the rod. A locking securing means is connected to the guide means for completing transverse movement between a position where locking is possible wherein the end of the rod is located closely adjacent to the element of the lock; and a secured position wherein the rod end is spaced apart from the element.

Securable locking device for a movable element of an automobile vehicle

The device serves to fasten the edge (7) of the cover (6) of the cushion constituting a seat back (5) to the outer flange of a channel (4) that is open towards the rear and that is provided at the edge of a plate (3) constituting framework for said cushion, the fastening device comprising a J-section member (9) attached to the edge of said cover. Said flange is firstly extended outwardly by a lateral gutter (10, 11) that is open in the opposite direction to the channel, and secondly it has a series of holes (12) punched out therein so as to form a corresponding number of tabs (13) extending parallel to the general plane of the plate, and towards the inside of the channel. The J-section member has a J-shaped head and a hook portion (14) that extends the large flap of the J-shape at right angles and that has a bead (16) formed on one side thereof such that when fastened, the hook is located astride the series of punched-out tabs while the extension and its bead are placed in contact with the outer flange (11) of the gutter.

The latch comprises a pivotal fork member adapted to receive a keeper (4), an intermediate catch (6) adapted to cooperate with the fork member (1) for maintaining the latter in the latching position, and a main catch (14) cooperative with the catch (6) for maintaining the latter in its position for locking the fork member (1), these elements being biased by return springs. The main catch (14) is provided with an arm (19) which, at the beginning of the latch opening sequence, and if the latch is in a bad state of maintenance, comes to bear against the arm (8) of the intermediate catch (6) and urges the latter to pivot in the direction for releasing the fork member (1). The presence of the arm (19) on the main catch (14) guarantees the opening of the latch without difficulty throughout the life of the vehicle, notwithstanding the hindrance that the progressive disappearance of the lubrication and the accumulation of dust might create in respect of this opening.

Latch, in particular for a motor vehicle door

The latch comprises a case fixed to the door, in which is provided a cavity for a keeper (3) integral with the body of the vehicle, this case containing a bolt (4) having a notch (7) for receiving the keeper (3) and a cam (22) cooperative with the keeper (3), a disc (5) rotatively mounted on a transverse pin (6) and on which the bolt (4) is also rotatively mounted, an opening (20) being provided in the disc (5) to permit the passage of the keeper (3); the latch comprises a pawl (11) pivotally mounted on the disc (5), provided with a head portion (13) which is capable of engaging into a recess (15, 16) of the bolt (4), and a safety disc which may be manually actuated for opening or closing the latch in the event of a breakdown of the electric system (9, 42, 41, 8, 44, 46, 48, A,B) controlling the rotation of the bolt (4) and the disc (5).

Electrically opened and closed latch for automobile vehicle doors

A coupling engaging and releasing device, in particular for an electric latch locking mechanism for a motor vehicle door, said device comprising a driving element (8) movably mounted on a support (9) and a receiving element (4) to which coupling means (7) are attached, which coupling means are capable of being driven from a locking position to an unlocking position and vice versa, the coupling engaging means comprising two resilient strips (6) each provided with at least one wedge (7) which are symmetrical relative to a plane (P) intersecting the axis of displacement (X--X) of the driving element (8) and passing through the latter, and each wedge (7) having a planar surface (7b) which is parallel to said plane (P) and faces the latter, and an inclined ramp (7a), these strips (6) being disposed in such manner as to be capable of being coupled to the driving element (8) by one of their planar surfaces (7b) so as to drive the receiving element (4) from the locking position to the unlocking position or vice versa by resiliently moving away from the driving element (8) so as to assume an uncoupled position in either of said two locking and unlocking positions.
