Abstract
A vehicle rear seat lock that has a latch (3), a trigger (1) and a bolt housed in a recess (2) in the trigger, according to which the safety of the unit against unwanted opening is increased.
Claims5
A vehicle rear seat lock having a trigger (1) and latch (3), the trigger and latch interconnected by a spring (11) and rotatably engaged on a support plate (13), the trigger having a slot (2) adapted to receive a securing bolt of a vehicle rear seat, wherein when in a locked position the latch prevents turning of the trigger in an unlocking direction, said lock comprising:
- a first set of contacting surfaces (7, 8) respectively located on the latch and trigger so that an impact force in a direction passes through a pivoting center (4) of the latch,
- a second set of contacting surfaces (9, 10) respectively extending down from the first set of contacting surfaces (7, 8) so that the impact force passes through a pivoting center (12) of the trigger, and
- separated surfaces (5, 6) respectively extending upward on the latch and trigger from the first set of contacting surfaces, the separated surfaces (5, 6) being spaced apart from each other,
- wherein transmission of the impact force in the direction +x from the latch to the trigger and a counterclockwise turning movement of the latch are both limited.

- a slot (5) in the support plate (13) and a pivot (16) on the latch engaged in the slot (15) to limit counterclockwise movement of the latch (3), and
- wherein transmission of the impact force in a direction +x from the latch to the trigger and a counterclockwise turning movement of the latch are both limited.
