Abstract: A hood latch system for a motor vehicle includes a vehicle hood latch assembly configured in operable communication with a gearshift member. The vehicle hood latch assembly is prevented from unintended release of a vehicle hood striker, fixed to a hood of the motor vehicle, from a ratchet of the latch assembly when the gearshift member is shifted into a non-parked mode. When the gear shift member is selectively actuated in a park mode, the vehicle hood latch assembly is actuated to release the striker from the ratchet, thereby allowing the hood to be opened.

Abstract: A power actuator for a latch of a motor vehicle closure panel has an electric motor to rotate a lead screw about an axis. A nut is disposed about the lead screw for selective translation along the lead screw. A clutch plate is configured for selective rotation about the axis when engaged with the nut, with a biasing member biasing the nut out of engagement with the clutch plate when the electric motor is de-energized. A carrier member is coupled with the nut to cause the nut to translate into engagement with the clutch plate during rotation of the lead screw, whereupon the nut and carrier member co-rotate with the clutch plate and leadscrew. A driven member is operably coupled with the clutch plate and with the latch via a cable/rod, such that the driven member maintains the latch in a cinched state when the electric motor is energized.

Abstract: A closure latch system and method for capturing, releasing, and recapturing a striker of a hood of a motor vehicle are provided. The closure latch system includes at least one power actuator configured for communication with at least one sensor. The at least one power actuator is actuatable in response to a signal from the at least one sensor indicating an imminent impact with a pedestrian to pivot the hood to a partially open position, and thereafter, to pivot the hood to a closed position in response to an indication of there being no impact from the at least one sensor.

Abstract: A latch assembly for a closure panel of a vehicle, the latch assembly comprising: a mounting plate; a ratchet and pawl pivotally mounted to the mounting plate, the ratchet for retaining a mating latch component in a primary latched position in a slot of the mounting plate, the ratchet released from the primary latched position by movement of the pawl; a secondary catch coupled to the mounting plate for retaining the mating latch component in a secondary latched position after the mating latch component being released from the ratchet; an active secondary catch coupled to the mounting plate by a pivot connection, the active secondary catch for retaining the mating latch component in a travel position after said mating latch component being released from the ratchet, the travel position being further from the slot than the secondary latched position, the active secondary catch having a slot providing for translation of the pivot connection therein; a lift lever mounted to the mounting plate, the lift lever for moving the mating latch component past the secondary latched position to the travel position as the pivot connection travels along the slot; wherein actuation of the lift lever by an actuation system causes movement of the secondary catch away from the slot in order to inhibit retention of the mating latch component thereby and to deploy the active secondary catch towards the slot in a deployed position in order to facilitate retention of the mating latch component thereby.

Abstract: A latch described herein comprises a ratchet movable between a primary closed position, a secondary closed position and an open position. The ratchet is biased towards the open position for facilitating travel of a striker in a fishmouth of the latch to the secondary closed position. The latch includes a pawl movable between a primary locking position, a secondary locking position and an unlocking position. The pawl is biased towards the primary locking position and has a pawl locking surface for holding the ratchet in the primary closed position and the secondary closed position. The latch includes a lift lever biased towards the open position for moving the striker in the fishmouth away from the secondary closed position and towards the open position when the pawl is in the unlocking position. The striker is further from the primary position when in the open position compared to the secondary closed position.
Abstract translation: 本文所述的闩锁包括可在主关闭位置,辅助关闭位置和打开位置之间移动的棘轮。 棘轮被朝向打开位置偏置,以便于将撞针在闩锁的鱼嘴中行进到次关闭位置。 闩锁包括可在主锁定位置,辅助锁定位置和解锁位置之间移动的棘爪。 棘爪被朝向主锁定位置偏置,并且具有用于将棘爪保持在主关闭位置和次关闭位置的棘爪锁定表面。 闩锁包括朝向打开位置偏置的提升杆,用于当鱼爪处于解锁位置时将钓鱼者在鱼口中从副关闭位置移动并且朝向打开位置移动。 当与二次关闭位置相比处于打开位置时,撞针进一步从主要位置。
