Abstract: A power latch assembly for a vehicle door of a motor vehicle includes a ratchet configured for movement between striker capture and striker release positions, wherein the ratchet is biased toward the striker release position, and a pawl configured for movement between a ratchet holding position, whereat the pawl maintains the ratchet in the striker capture position, and a ratchet releasing position, whereat the pawl releases the ratchet to the striker release position. A powered actuator is energizable to move the pawl from the ratchet holding position to the ratchet releasing position, and a multistage mechanism operably connecting an output of the power actuator to at least one of the pawl and the ratchet has at least two power takeoffs, with each power takeoff being configured to apply a different torque output to at least one of the pawl and/or the ratchet.

Abstract: A door latch system is provided for a motor vehicle having a front door having a forward portion configured for sealed engagement with an A-pillar and a rear door having a rearward portion configured for sealed engagement with a C-pillar, the front and rear doors being configured for movement relative to a vehicle body of the motor vehicle to bring respective rearward and forward portions into sealed engagement with one another to close off a B-pillarless opening bounded by the vehicle body. The door latch system includes a retractable striker assembly and/or retractable ratchet assembly attached to one of the front and rear doors and includes a respective retractable striker and/or retractable ratchet movable between extended and retracted positions.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly for automotive closure systems includes a latch mechanism, a latch release mechanism, a handle-actuated release mechanism, and an inertia-activated bypass mechanism disposed between the handle-actuated release mechanism and the latch release mechanism. The inertia-activated bypass mechanism is operable in a coupled mode for drivingly connecting the two mechanisms so as to permit the latch release mechanism to actuate the latch mechanism and is further operable in an uncoupled mode for disconnecting the two mechanisms so as to inhibit operation of the latch release mechanism. An inertia force above a predetermined acceleration threshold applied to a coupling component of the bypass mechanism causes shifting from the coupled mode into the uncoupled mode, thereby inhibiting unintended release of the latch mechanism.
