Abstract: A power closure latch assembly with a manually actuatable release link, vehicle door therewith and method of allowing a power actuatable closure latch assembly to be converted for selective manual actuation is provided. The release link is configured to operably communicate an actuator lever with a release lever for conjoint movement therebetween, to provide power-assisted movement of a pawl between ratchet releasing and ratchet holding positions, when the release link is in a “normal” first operating position. The release link is further configured to allow the release lever to move independently from the actuator lever when the release link is in a manually deployed “override/reset” second position to provide spring-biased movement of the pawl from the ratchet releasing position back to the ratchet holding position.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly for installation in a vehicle door and method of construction thereof is provided. The closure latch assembly has at least one ratchet, a primary pawl, and an auxiliary pawl. At least one ratchet is moveable between a striker capture position and a striker release position. The primary pawl is moveable between a closed position and an open position. The auxiliary pawl is moveable between a closed position and an open position. An auxiliary pawl release lever is moveable between a rest position, whereat the auxiliary pawl is located in its closed position and the primary pawl is located in its closed position, and an engaged position, whereat the auxiliary pawl is moved to its open position and the primary pawl is moved to its open position.

Abstract: A latch assembly a method resists inadvertent movement from a latched state to an unlatched state in a crash condition. Latch assembly includes a strength plate unit, with a ratchet supported by the strength plate unit for pivotal movement within a ratchet pivot plane between a striker release position and a striker capture position. A pawl is supported by the strength plate unit for pivotal movement within a pawl pivot plane between a ratchet holding position, whereat the pawl holds the ratchet in the striker capture position, and a ratchet releasing position, whereat the pawl permits pivotal movement of the ratchet within the ratchet pivot plane to the striker release position. The strength plate unit prevents movement of at least one of the ratchet out of the ratchet pivot plane and the pawl out of the pawl pivot plane while the pawl is in the ratchet holding position.

Abstract: A latch having a ratchet biased for release of a striker and for retaining of the striker, the ratchet having a ratchet surface, a first pawl having a pawl surface, the first pawl for holding the ratchet in an initial closed position when the first pawl is engaged with the ratchet, a second pawl for maintaining the first pawl in the initial closed position when the second pawl is engaged with the first pawl, and a bearing positioned between the first pawl and the ratchet for rotation during rotation of the ratchet and the first pawl, such that contact between the ratchet and the first pawl is facilitated by one or more contact regions between an exterior surface of the bearing and adjacent respective at least one of the pawl surface or the ratchet surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a closure latch assembly and system for a vehicle closure panel equipped with a latch mechanism having a latched position and an unlatched position and a power release mechanism moveable between home position, a release position and a double pull position and/or a child lock position, wherein a motor is operable to move the power release mechanism from the home position to the release position and from the home position to the double pull position and/or the child lock position, and wherein an emergency backup mechanism in mechanically coupled communication with the latch mechanism can be mechanically actuated from a non-deployed position to a deployed position to move a pawl from a ratchet holding position to a ratchet releasing position regardless of the position of the power release mechanism, wherein the emergency backup mechanism is prevented from generating rattling noise while in the non-deployed position.

Abstract: A low release effort eccentric double pawl vehicle latch includes a ratchet, primary pawl, auxiliary ratchet and secondary pawl in combination with a secure lock lever. The secure lock lever selectively inhibits movement of the secondary pawl to prevent premature or unintended opening of the latch. A drive mechanism sequences movement of the secure lock lever and secondary pawl to open the latch. Upon reset, the drive mechanism drives the auxiliary ratchet back to its closed state and in the process the auxiliary ratchet can engage and return the secondary pawl back to a closed state in the event of an insufficient bias force thereon.
