Abstract:
A charging assembly includes a charging inlet and a locking device mounted to the charging inlet. The locking device includes a housing, a release member, and an override member. The release member is connected to a movable locking pin via a mechanical linkage. The locking pin in an extended position is configured to secure a mating connector of an external power source to the charging inlet. The override member is slidably mounted to the housing, and includes a tail that is coupled to the release member. The override member has a contact surface configured to be engaged by an external instrument to translate the override member relative to the housing such that the tail actuates the release member causing the locking pin to transition from the extended position towards a retracted position to enable the mating connector to be disconnected from the charging inlet.

Claim (Index 1):
A charging assembly comprising:\n a charging inlet configured to releasably couple to a mating connector of an external power source to recharge a battery; and a locking device mounted to the charging inlet, the locking device comprising:\n a housing; \n a release member mounted to the housing and connected to a locking pin via a mechanical linkage, the locking pin being movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the locking pin in the extended position configured to secure the mating connector to the charging inlet; and \n an override member slidably mounted to the housing, the override member having a body and a tail that extends from the body, the tail coupled to the release member, the body having a contact surface configured to be engaged by an external instrument to translate the override member relative to the housing such that the tail actuates the release member causing the locking pin to transition from the extended position towards the retracted position to enable the mating connector to be disconnected from the charging inlet.
