Abstract

See full text

A door lock system includes a deflectable beam, a pawl positioned on the deflectable beam, a lever member that exerts a force into at least a portion of the deflectable beam, and first and second conductive wires attached to the lever member. The first conductive wire contracts when heated, thereby pulling on the lever member and pivoting the lever member into a first position in which the deflectable beam deflects so that the pawl is moved into a locked position. The second conductive wire contracts when heated, thereby pivoting the lever member into a second position in which the deflectable beam deflects so that the pawl is moved into an unlocked position.
