Abstract: A latch assembly for a closure system having first and second closure members each movable between open and closed positions and method of operation are provided. The assembly includes a primary latch mechanism that has a primary actuation group to control actuation of the first closure member. The latch assembly also includes a secondary latch mechanism that has a secondary actuation group operable to control actuation of the second closure member. A controller unit is coupled to the primary and secondary actuation groups and determines which of the primary actuation group and the secondary actuation group to actuate and controls actuation of at least one of the primary actuation group and the secondary actuation group accordingly. The primary and secondary latch mechanisms, primary and secondary actuation groups, and controller unit are all integrated into the housing.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly for a dual-door closure system in a motor vehicle includes an anti-chucking mechanism and cinching mechanism in cooperation with a latch mechanism. The anti-chucking mechanism cooperates with the latch mechanism to provide an anti-chucking feature, while the cinching mechanism cooperates with the latch mechanism to provide a cinching feature, wherein an anti-chucking cancellation mechanism prevents interference of the anti-chucking mechanism with the cinching mechanism.

Abstract: A power latch assembly for a vehicle door and method of construction thereof is provided. The power latch assembly includes a pawl configured for movement between a ratchet holding position whereat the pawl maintains a ratchet in a striker capture position and a ratchet releasing position whereat the pawl releases the ratchet to a striker release position. A pawl release lever moves the pawl between the ratchet holding position and the ratchet releasing position. A powered actuator is energizable to control movement of the pawl release lever, wherein upon the pawl reaching the ratchet releasing position, the powered actuator is automatically de-energized without a hard stop feature.

Abstract: A gear arrangement comprising: a housing having a gear axis and a housing stop, the housing stop having a first abutment and an second abutment spaced apart from one another about the gear axis; a rotatable member mounted on the gear axis, the rotatable member having a first member side having a first member stop and a second member side having a second member stop, the first member side opposite the second member side, such that the first member stop is positioned between the first abutment and the second abutment; and a gear mounted on the gear axis, the gear having a first gear side, and a second gear side having a gear stop, the first gear side opposite the second gear side, such that the gear stop is engageable and disengageable with the second member stop during rotation of the gear about the gear axis, the rotatable member positioned between the housing and the gear; wherein said rotation of the gear is hindered while the gear stop and the second member stop are engaged when the first member stop enters into engagement with either the first abutment or the second abutment.

Abstract: A closure latch assembly includes a latch mechanism having a pawl moveable between a ratchet holding position, whereat a ratchet is maintained in a striker capture position, and a ratchet release position, whereat the ratchet is biased toward a striker release position. An electromagnetic actuator includes a first member, a second member, a plurality of permanent magnets fixed to one of the first and second members and a plurality of electromagnetic coils fixed to the other of the first and second members. The electromagnetic coils are energizable to attract and repel the plurality of permanent magnets to move the first member relative to the second member, whereupon the relative movement causes at least one of the following actuations: movement of the pawl between the ratchet holding and ratchet release positions; locking the pawl against movement from the ratchet holding position to the ratchet release position; and cinching the ratchet in the striker capture position.

Abstract: A latch assembly for a motor vehicle closure system having a latch mechanism, a latch release mechanism and a power cinching mechanism. The latch mechanism is operable in a released state when a closure panel is located in an open position, in a secondary closed state when the closure panel is located in a partially-closed position, and in a primary closed state when the closure panel is located in a fully-closed position. The cinching mechanism interacts with the latch mechanism to establish the secondary closed state and is actuated for shifting the latch mechanism from its secondary closed state into its primary closed state.
