Description
Claims (7)
- A power striker mechanism (10) comprising:a housing (22, 28),a striker (18) mounted on a striker plate (20), said striker plate (20) being mounted on said housing (22, 28) for sliding movement between an inboard and an outboard position;a driver plate (44) mounted to the housing (22, 28) for sliding movement in a direction orthogonal to said sliding movement of said striker plate (20) and operably connected therewith in a camming relation, andan actuator (16) operatively engaging said driver plate (44) for effecting movement thereof to thereby effect movement of said striker plate (20) between said inboard and outboard positions, said camming relation comprising end phases (43, 41) corresponding to said inboard and outboard positions wherein said striker plate (20) and said driver plate (44) are coupled to the housing (22, 28) and comprising an intermediate phase intermediate said end phases (43, 41) wherein said striker plate (20) and said driver plate (44) are uncoupled from said housing (22, 28) enabling said sliding movement of said striker plate (20) and said driver plate (44), characterized in that said driver plate (44) has a series of teeth (46) and said actuator (16) has a drive gear (64) in driving engagement with said series of teeth (46) of said driver plate (44).
- A power striker mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein one of said striker plate (20) and said driver plate (44) has a pin (36) and the other of said striker plate (20) and said driver plate (44) having an S-shaped slot (42), said pin (36) being in sliding engagement with said S-shaped slot (42), said S-shaped slot (42) having end regions (41, 43) extending in said orthogonal direction and interconnected by a diagonally extending section, whereby when said pin (36) is in said end regions (41, 43) of said S-shaped slot (42), forces imparted to the striker (18) are transmitted to the housing (22, 28) and when said pin (36) moves along said diagonally extending section, said driver plate (44) effects movement of said striker plate (20).
- A power striker mechanism as claimed in claim 1 or 2 wherein said housing (22, 28) has a sector gear (58) mounted thereon, said sector gear (58) operably extending between said series of teeth (46) of said driver plate (44) and said drive gear (64) of said actuator (16).
- A power striker mechanism as claimed in claim 3 wherein said housing comprises a backplate (28) engaging a cover plate (22) defining a first cavity (25) therebetween, said backplate (28) having an aperture (38) receiving said pin (36), said cover plate (22) having an aperture (25) through which said striker (18) extends, said first cavity (25) having bushings (34) defining a first slide channel, said striker plate (20) being slidably received in said first slide channel.
- A power striker mechanism as claimed in claim 1 wherein said housing comprises a backplate (28) engaging a cover plate (22) defining a first cavity (25) therebetween, said driver plate (44) having a pin (36) received in an aperture (38) of said backplate (28), said cover plate (22) having an aperture (25) through which said striker (18) extends, said first cavity (25) having bushings (34) defining a first slide channel, said striker plate (20) being slidably received in said first slide channel.
- A power striker mechanism as claimed in claim 4 or 5 wherein said housing (22, 28, 48, 50) further comprises a driver housing (48) engaging a driver cover (50) defining a second cavity therebetween, said driver cover (50) having an aperture (51) receiving said pin (36), said driver housing (48) having an aperture (49) providing access for said operative engagement between said driver plate (44) and said actuator (16), said second cavity having bushings (56) defining a second slide channel, said driver plate (44) being slidably received in said second slide channel.
- A power striker mechanism as claimed in claim 6 wherein said driver cover (50) and said backplate (28) engage in a back to back relation with said respective apertures (51, 38) aligning enabling said pin (36) to extend therethrough.
