Claim 1
Independent Claim
141 words
A door lock arrangement for use on a vehicle having a plurality of doors, each having manual control means for locking and unlocking said doors, comprising a solenoid coil assembly mounted in each door and having a coil locking portion, a coil unlocking portion and a common reciprocal armature means operably connected to said manual control means, electrical circuit means connecting said coil assemblies including power means, first switch means operable upon movement of a selected manual control means to the locking position to complete an energizing circuit to the locking coil portion of each of the coil assemblies associated with the remaining manual control means to shift said remaining manual control means to the locking positions thereof and second switch means operable by the movement of said remaining manual control means to the locking position to open said energizing circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
141 words
A door lock arrangement for use on a vehicle having a plurality of doors, each having manual control means for locking and unlocking said doors, comprising a solenoid coil assembly mounted in each door and having a coil locking portion, a coil unlocking portion and a common reciprocal armature means operably connected to said manual control means, electrical circuit means connecting said coil assemblies including power means, first switch means operable upon movement of a selected manual control means to the locking position to complete an energizing circuit to the locking coil portion of each of the coil assemblies associated with the remaining manual control means to shift said remaining manual control means to the locking positions thereof and second switch means operable by the movement of said remaining manual control means to the locking position to open said energizing circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A door lock arrangement as set forth in claim 1 further comprising additional circuit means for automatically energizing the locking coil portion of each of said coil assemblies responsive to a vehicle condition including ignition switch means and vehicle condition responsive switch means arranged in series with said power means, said vehicle condition responsive switch means having first contact means arranged to complete a circuit through the coil locking portion of the coil assembly associated with said selected one of said manual control means and second contact means arranged to energize the coil unlocking portion of said coil assembly.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
