Definitions

  • the lid is slightly shifted outside its frame so that it can be seized with the hand after actuating the lock and subsequent to the positive ejection effect due to the spring;
  • the bonnet lid lock or catch consists mainly of two separate members interconnected by a control pin, i.e.:
  • This invention is characterized essentially in that it comprises a fastening device wherein a cross member of the vehicle body supports the control and lock members as well as the movable-keeper closing device en gaging the bolt carried by bonnet lid, these control and lock members and the keeper being separated and operatively interconnected by means of a pin whereby the operator, by acting on the control member and with a single movement will release firstly the lock members and then the keeper 15 from the bolt.
  • FIGURE 1 is a section taken through the front portion of the body of an automobile and the rear portion of a hingedly mounted bonnet along a plane at right angles to the lock-supporting body cross member on the side of the bonnet lid lock members;
  • FIGURES 2, 3 and 4 show respectively the lock members in the bonnet closing, half-closing and opening positions
  • FIGURE 5 is a section similar to FIG. 1 but taken from the side of the lock bolt and keeper, the keeper being in locking engagement with the bolt;
  • FIGURE 6 shows the same members as FIG. 5 but with the keeper released from the bolt;
  • FIGURE 7 is a fragmentary section taken upon the line VII-VII of FIG. 5;
  • FIGURE 8 is a plan view from above showing the cross member of the vehicle body which supports the lock members as well as the keeper, the bonnet being removed.
  • the reference numerals 1 and 2 designate respectively the vehicle bonnet and an internal cross-member for reinforcing the bonnet; the body 3 comprises a marginal portion or frame 4 defining the bonnet aperture and carrying a Weatherstrip 5.
  • the fixed cross member 6 supporting the lock is secured on the one hand on the dashboard 7 and on the other hand on the partition 8 defining the space 9 in which the different component elements of the heat ing, defrosting and ventilating system of the vehicle are housed.
  • Secured by bolts 13 on this cross member are a pair of brackets 10, 11 carrying bearings for rotatably mounting the control pin 14.
  • This pin 14 has one end rigid with the movable keeper 15 and the other end solid with the lock member 16.
  • This lock member 16 is constantly urged for rotation in'the direction of arrow 17 by the inherent elasticity of the weatherstrips, but nevertheless it is held in its closed position by a super-abundantly antagonistic traction spring 18 so that the arrangement provides a negative effect;
  • the lock member 16 is formed with a pair of notches 21, 22 and has a link 23 pivoted at 24 on its upper portion.
  • Formed in the opposite end of this link 23 is an elongated aperture 25 engaged by a pin 26 solid with the lock control cable 27 and also with the lock arm 28.
  • this lock arm 28 comprises a tooth 32 adapted to co-act with the notches 21 and 22 of the keeper member, in a manner to be set forth presently.
  • the free end of cable 27 is attached to a control handle 33 by being wound in a central groove 34 thereof may be guided in flexible pipes or sheaths 36 permitting the necessary changes in direction while sealing the passages through the dashboard or like partitions.
  • This arrangement is completed by a bolt 37 secured on the cross member 2 by means of a strap 38, and also by a cylindrical boss 39 rigid or formed integrally with the bracket 11 for the purpose of constantly centering the bonnet during its closing movement by engaging a complementary recess of strap 38.
  • This bonnet lock operates as follows:
  • a cross member of the vehicle body supports control and lock members as well as a locking device proper comprising a movable keeper engaging a bonnet-carried bolt, said control and lock members and said keeper being separated and operatively interconnected by a pin, whereby a single actuation of the control member is suflicient for firstly releasing the lock members and subsequently the keeper from the bolt, and wherein two brackets carried by said cross member of the vehicle body are provided with bearings for receiving the connecting pin rigid on the one hand with the movable keeper and on the other hand with the lock member proper urged by a spring and provided with two notches, one for locking the bonnet lid in the closed position and another for keeping the bonnet lid in a half-closed position, said lock member co-acting with a tooth formed on a lock arm pivoted on a fixed pin and urged by a spring, said lock arm carrying another pin slidably engaging an elongated aperture formed in
