<p>Power actuated latching and locking mechanism for vehicle body closures, typically doors (10), Fig. 1, includes lockable latching means (12), having powered driving means, control means (14) for selective operation of the driving means, and a rechargeable electrical energy storage device (22) powering the driving and control means. Preferably the mechanism is remotely controlled by signals radiated to a receiver (36) thereof from a hand held transmitter, central control unit of a vehicle and/or like mechanisms of other closures of the body, and the mechanism may further include a transmitter (38). The storage device is kept charged by a connection (26) from the closure to the vehicle power circuit and this is the only wiring connection needed. Other equipment of the closure e.g. windows or mirror setting may also be powered and controlled from the mechanism.</p> |
