Device for locking an opening panel of a motor vehicle

摘要

A device for locking a motor vehicle opening panel, and a latch designed for such a locking device. The opening panel includes an opening mechanism so that it can be moved between a closed position in which the opening panel closes off an opening in the roof of the vehicle, and an open position in which the opening panel at least partially uncovers the opening. The opening mechanism includes at least one link rod, a first end of which is articulated to the vehicle about a first fixed transverse axis and a second end of which is articulated to the mobile opening panel about a second transverse axis. The opening panel is mounted to pivot about a third transverse axis able to move longitudinally with respect to the roof. The locking device includes a latch including a base fixed to the opening panel and including a throat configured to accept a fist striker in the closed position and a second striker in the open position. At least one of the strikers is mounted to move relative to the latch and relative to the vehicle.

主权项

1. A locking mechanism for a motor vehicle opening panel, the locking mechanism comprising:
a pin mounted on a base; a throat located on the base; a latch pivotally mounted about the pin on the base and adapted to pivot on the pin between a position blocking the throat and a position unblocking the throat, the latch having a first convex edge and a second convex edge that prolongs the first convex edge; a second striker constrained to move with respect to the base along a first path that intersects the throat, the second striker being adapted to be fixed to a mechanism that is movably linked to a structural element of the motor vehicle; and a first striker constrained to move with respect to the base along a second path that intersects the throat, the first striker being adapted to be fixed to a structural element of the motor vehicle, wherein the second striker applies a first force to the first convex edge of the latch to pivot the latch about the pin from the position blocking the throat to the position unblocking the throat, enabling the throat to receive the second striker, and wherein the first striker applies a second force to the second convex edge of the latch to pivot the latch about the pin from the position blocking the throat to the position unblocking the throat, enabling the throat to receive the first striker.
