20090113961 | Remote Controllable Locking Device for a Vehicle - The invention relates to a remote controlled locking device for vehicles, a stationary lock being located inside the vehicle and a portable electronic key ( | 05-07-2009 |
20100050714 | Compact power lock - A compact power lock is provided for use in a pickup truck tailgate with a key lockable latch that relies on a lock lever for its operation. The power lock includes a linear power actuator attached to a sliding actuating link with two tabs that engage the lock lever of the key lockable tailgate latch. The actuating link is arranged alongside the linear power actuator so as not to add to its length and to attain maximum compactness. The spacing of the two tabs is such that the lock lever can move freely between the locked and unlocked position when it is activated by the key lockable tailgate latch. When the actuator is energized by voltage pulses of alternating polarity its motion is transferred to the attached actuating link and the tabs push the locking lever to or fro to lock or unlock the tail gate. | 03-04-2010 |
20140165675 | LOCK DEVICE, LOCK DEVICE CONTROLLER, AND ELECTRONIC KEY SYSTEM - A lock device is arranged in a vehicle including an inlet and an operation switch. The vehicle is configured to perform a predetermined control operation corresponding to the operation switch when the condition that verification of an authentic electronic key through wireless communication has been accomplished and the condition that a normal operation of the operation switch has been performed are both satisfied. The lock device includes a lock mechanism that locks a locking subject related with the inlet. A controller controls the lock mechanism to switch the locking subject between a lock state and an unlock state when the condition that the verification of the authentic electronic key has been accomplished and the condition that a special operation of the operation switch has been performed are both satisfied. | 06-19-2014 |
20140165676 | LOCK DEVICE, CONTROLLER, AND ELECTRIC KEY SYSTEM - A power port lock device locks a locking subject to restrict removal of a charge cable from a power port arranged in a vehicle or restrict connection of the charge cable to the power port. The lock device includes a lock mechanism that locks and unlocks the locking subject. A door monitoring unit monitors a locking state of a vehicle door. A detection unit detects an operation to a door locking-unlocking unit which is operated to lock or unlock the vehicle door. A lock control unit controls operation of the lock mechanism based on a monitoring result of the door monitoring unit and a detection result of the detection unit. | 06-19-2014 |
20150332530 | VEHICLE LOCK CONTROLLER - There is provided a vehicle lock controller capable of enhancing the security performance of a vehicle by automatically locking at least one door of the vehicle in an appropriate time. A human detection sensor is disposed on a vehicle, and a vehicle door lock controller is configured to detect the presence of a person around the vehicle based on an output signal of the human detection sensor. The vehicle door lock controller is provided with a short-range wireless communicator for wirelessly communicating with a wireless communication device within a short range and a long-range wireless communicator for wirelessly communicating with the wireless communication device within a long range. The vehicle door lock controller sets a timeout period before the at least one door of the vehicle is automatically locked after being unlocked, depending on whether or not communication exists between these wireless communicators and the wireless communication device. | 11-19-2015 |
20150332531 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENABLING A TEMPORARY USER TO GAIN TEMPORARY ACCESS TO A LOCKED SPACE OF A VEHICLE - The present disclosure relates to a method for enabling a temporary user to gain temporary access to a locked space of a vehicle. The vehicle is configured to communicate with an intermediate system adapted to remotely control functionality of the vehicle. The intermediate system is configured to receive, from a user device associated with the temporary user, a request message to open a remotely operable lock of the locked space and further configured to, based on the request message, transmit an unlock message to the vehicle to open the lock. The request message from the user device includes access parameters to enable the lock to be unlocked, the access parameters received by the user device from a permission message transmitted by an owner device directly or indirectly to the user device. | 11-19-2015 |

20080196458 | KEYHOLELESS LOCK DEVICE - The present invention discloses a keyholeless lock device, which comprises a lock casing, a motor, an induction antenna, a circuit board, a control chip, a lock handle and a latch bolt. When the user is inside door, he may rotate the lock handle to open the door. When the user is outside the door, he has to use an induction key to open the door. The induction key can send out encryption information to the induction antenna, and the control chip uses a decryption procedure to judge whether the induction key is authentic. If the induction key is authentic, the motor will retract the latch bolt into the lock casing. When there is a power failure, the induction key will be inserted into the lock casing and function as the power source of the induction antenna, the circuit board and the control chip. As the keyholeless lock device of the present invention abolishes the traditional keyhole and lock cylinder, thieves are unlikely to burglar with their lock-picking skill. Therefore, the keyholeless lock device of the present invention is a high-reliability security device. | 08-21-2008 |
20090241617 | DOOR LATCH DEVICE IN A MOTOR VEHICLE - A door latch device in a motor vehicle comprises an engagement portion including a latch which engages with a striker of a vehicle body. The door latch device comprises an inner lever connected to an inside handle, a lock lever connected to a lock knob on a door inside the vehicle, a subsidiary lever connected to the lock lever, a childproof lock lever, a motor and an actuating member driven by the motor to actuate the childproof lock lever. Childproof locking and a double locking can be carried out by the single motor. | 10-01-2009 |
20100300162 | Remote control cam locking system - A remote control locking system employs a remote transmitter which sends a signal to a message control module/signal receiver. This signal is ultimately forwarded to a cam control unit which positions a cam member to lock and unlock a door, using an internal latching system. The cam control unit has a motor which, through appropriate gear mechanism, rotates a drive shaft to control the position of the cam member for locking and unlocking the door. The message control module/receiver, cam control unit, and attendant components can be self-contained units, each unit configured for use on individual cam controlled doors. The system can be installed as original equipment on vehicles, but also is readily adaptable to retrofitting existing vehicles which do not have remote locking capability. The system is most beneficially provided for use on trucks and similar work vehicles with multiple compartments and their respective doors, which need to be locked and locked quickly to protect property within the compartments. | 12-02-2010 |
