Definitions

  • This invention relates to securing mechanisms for latching and selective locking of doors and other closures of vehicles with particular application to the rear passenger doors of cars and light vehicles likely to be accessible to children in the vehicle but remote from immediate adult supervision.
  • the invention has particular application to mechanisms forming part of locking systems of the kind in which the individual locks, and possibly the latching and unlatching of the related doors, are power operable and interconnected through a central control unit operable from within or outside the vehicle, herein referred to as "central locking systems".
  • the object of the invention is to provide mechanism incorporating a child safety facility which is convenient and reliable in operation, of simple and durable construction, and in which the child safety condition can be set and cancelled by remote control.
  • vehicle door securing mechanism including:-
  • the release lever also interacts with the locking means whereby movement of that lever in the direction for unlatching the door shifts the locking means, if in a locked condition, to unlocked condition.
  • the securing mechanism, incorporating latching mechanism and locking mechanism of the related door is located by and in a box-like housing 10 shown schematically in the drawings to form a unitary assembly for mounting in the door.
  • the latching mechanism includes a conventional rotating claw bolt and co-acting pawl operating to releasably retain the door in closed condition, is pawl being released when the door is to be opened as by operation of the interior or exterior door handles by a latch release member 12 shown in part in figure 2.
  • the latch mechanism may incorporate power operated latching engagement closing the door, for example as described in our co-pending application GB9710602.5 dated 23rd May 1997 and/or power unlatching when the door is to be opened as described in our co-pending application GB9713407.6 dated 26th June 1997. Such power operations will be controlled from a central locking system on the vehicle.
  • the mechanism further incorporates locking mechanism as referred to above, again of known construction not shown in the drawings apart from a rocking lock/unlock lever 14 in FIG.2 and again the locking mechanism may incorporate power actuation as part of a central locking system in known manner.
  • Release means of the mechanism includes a release lever 16 fulcrummed on a fixed pivot 18 and having a first downwardly dependant arm 20 operatively linked to an inside handle (not shown) of the related door by a pull rod 21, and a second arm 22 extending generally leftwardly as viewed in the drawings to abut left hand arm of lock/unlock lever 14.
  • An unlatching lever 24 of bell crank form is also fulcrummed on pivot 18 but can pivot independently of lever 16.
  • a downwardly dependant arm 26 of lever 24 overlies arm 20 of lever 16 while the other arm 28 of lever 24 projects rightwardly and is provided with a terminal projection abutting downwardly against a similar projection of latch release member 12.
  • Arm 26 defines a drive formation in the form of a longitudinal slot 30 closed at the ends in which is slidingly engaged a cylindrical pin serving as a drive dog 32.
  • the underlying part of arm 20 of lever 16 also defines a drive formation in the form of a bayonet slot 34 best seen in detail view FIG.2A, having a closed upper end but opening from arm 20 downwardly and to the right.
  • Drive dog 32 extends into slot 34.
  • a child safety power actuator 36 in this example a rotary electric motor having a worm and nut drive output for providing rectilinear motion although it is to be understood that various other forms of power actuator could be used, is mounted within housing 10.
  • the nut 38 moves vertically and is engaged with the left hand arm of a rocking lever 40 pivoted at 42.
  • the distal end of the right hand arm of lever 40 is coupled to drive dog 32 by a generally vertical link 44 so that operation of actuator 36 moves dog 32 from one end to the other of slot 30.
  • the child safety condition is cancelled, making the inside door handle operative, by remote control applying power to actuator 36 to draw dog 32 upwards so that it engages the closed upper end of bayonet slot 34 coupling lever 16 and 24 so that operation of the door handle causes arm 24 to depress latch release member 12 effecting manual unlatching.
  • manual operation of the locking mechanism from the inside of the related door is effected by a cill button which is depressed flush with the door trim in locked condition. This is to preclude attempts to unlock the door from the exterior by "fishing" through a window aperture with some kind of tool to engage the cill button.
  • the drive dog may take various forms and may be shifted to set or cancel child safety by various types of power actuator, for example a solenoid type actuator could provide direct push/pull shifting of the drive dog or geared angular drive could be provided as by shifting dog 32 along a curved slot.
  • a solenoid type actuator could provide direct push/pull shifting of the drive dog or geared angular drive could be provided as by shifting dog 32 along a curved slot.
  • the closed-ended slot 30 could be provided in the arm 20 of lever 16 with the dog co-acting with an open-ended slot or equivalent formation in arm 26 of lever 24.
