Definitions

  • the present invention relates to locking arrangements for automobiles or other motor vehicles and more particularly to an arrangement for locking the bonnet or hood (the latter term will be used in this specification) which closes the engine compartment of such a vehicle.
  • Automobile hoods are usually held down by a primary latch which, for reasons of security, can only be released from inside the vehicle, e.g. via a cable mechanism. It is usual also to incorporate a secondary or safety latch to prevent the hood from flying open in the event of the failure or inadvertent release of the primary latch while the vehicle is in motion, and which can itself be released from outside the vehicle after the primary latch has been released. It is, however, considered desirable for the owner of a vehicle or other authorised person to be able to release the hood from outside the vehicle while at the same time providing security against access to the engine compartment by unauthorised persons.
  • the present invention addresses this problem and accordingly in a first aspect resides in an assembly adapted to be mounted under the hood of a motor vehicle; the assembly comprising a key-recognition mechanism and a latch member; in use the key-recognition mechanism being accessible for insertion of a proper key from outside the vehicle and the latch member serving to retain the hood in a closed condition; and the key-recognition mechanism and latch member being so associated that manipulation of a proper key within the key-recognition mechanism causes or enables movement of the latch member to a position in which it releases the hood.
  • the invention also resides in a motor vehicle having an engine compartment normally closed by a hood; and an assembly according to the first aspect of the invention mounted under said hood with its said key-recognition mechanism being accessible for insertion of a proper key from outside the vehicle and its said latch member serving to retain the hood in a closed condition.
  • Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an assembly according to the invention as installed in the forward portion of an automobile engine compartment beneath a hinged hood 1 and behind a decorative grille or other facia member 2 which is itself located above the vehicle's front bumper (fender) 3.
  • This assembly comprises a first housing portion with rear flanges 5 ( Figures 2 to 4) provided with mounting holes 6 for fixing the assembly to a structural cross-member 7 of the vehicle.
  • a second housing portion 8 is riveted to the first, and at its forward end the portion 8 is formed with a tubular extension 9 in which is mounted a key-recognition mechanism in the form of a conventional cylinder 10.
  • the cylinder 10 may incorporate any known disc, pin or other tumbler arrangement by which a rotatable plug 11 is normally locked within the cylinder but can be released for rotation by insertion of a properly cut key 12.
  • the entrance to the keyway of the cylinder is located within an aperture in the facia member 2.
  • the plug 11 At its distal end the plug 11 carries a lever 13.
  • a primary latch member 14 is mounted on a pivot 15 in the housing portion 4 and is biased in the clockwise direction (as viewed in Figures 3 and 4) by a spring 16. As shown in Figure 3 this latch member normally serves to hold down the hood 1 by trapping a U-shaped striker bar 17 which is rigidly attached to the underside of the hood.
  • the latch member 14 is itself held in this position by a detent lever 18 pivoted at 19 and biased in the clockwise direction (as viewed in Figures 3 and 4) by a spring 20.
  • the detent lever 18 is connected to one end of a drive rod 21 which extends transversely through the housing 4/8 and is connected at the other end to the lever 13 ( Figures 1 and 2).
  • a cable arrangement can also be connected to the detent lever 18 by which the hood 1 can be released from within the passenger compartment of the vehicle, without the use of a key.
