Car bonnet release system comprises swivel on side panel-fitted holder for spring-powered turning onto limit stops with swivel re-setting after each action.

摘要

A holder (30) on the inner side panel is pivotally coupled to a swivel (38) which in turn is restored to its original position after each actuated turning movement. A wire (42) connected one end to the swivel (38) is joined at the far end to the bonnet to move this in common with the swivel. The swivel is pivotally coupled to the holder (30) by means of a bolt (64) as coiled by a torsion spring (40) fixed one end to the holder and at the far end to the swivel (38) and supported by supports (56,66) provided for it on the holder (30). The swivel turns through a limited angle in relation to the holder (30) and stops (72,74) projecting off the swivel (38) stand at set angle spacing to ensure swivel homes onto one of the supports when turned clock- or anti-clockwise.
