Abstract: A latch assembly includes a chassis and a rotatable claw-type latch bolt moveably mounted on the chassis. The latch bolt has a closed position for retaining a striker and an open position for releasing the striker. The latch bolt is provided with a latch abutment remote from a center of rotation. The latch assembly further includes a pawl rotatable about a pawl axis and having an engaged position for holding the latch bolt in the closed position and a disengaged position that allows the latch bolt to move to the open position. The latch assembly includes an eccentric arrangement defining a first axis and the pawl axis remote from the first axis. The latch assembly also includes a reset lever rotatably fixed to the eccentric arrangement for mutual rotation with the eccentric arrangement about the first axis. The latch assembly includes a biasing lever configured to transmit a biasing force to the reset lever at a position remote from the first axis and to the latch bolt via the latch abutment. The latch assembly includes a biasing device arranged to apply the biasing force to the biasing lever. The latch assembly is configured such that when the pawl retains the latch bolt in the closed position, the biasing lever applies a force to the reset lever to promote disengagement of the pawl, and such that when the pawl is disengaged, the biasing lever promotes the rotation of the latch bolt into the open position.

Abstract: A power release mechanism for a vehicle door latch includes a rotary claw having a mouth to releasably retain a striker, a pawl abutment and a cam surface. The power release mechanism includes a pivotably mounted pawl resiliently biased to contact the pawl abutment to retain the claw in a latched condition and to contact the cam surface when in a released condition. A power drive formation includes an input member configured to receive drive from a power actuator and an output member. One of the input member and the output member includes first and second stall abutments, and the other of the input member and the output member includes a follower configured for contact with the first and second stall abutments during power release of the pawl. Each of the first and second stall abutments is configured to retain the follower and thereby stall the power actuator. The first stall abutment is contactable by the follower to lift the pawl from the claw. The second stall abutment is contactable by virtue of the cam surface of the claw pivoting the output member away from the input member such that the follower disengages the first stall abutment, resulting in the retention of the follower at the second stall abutment until the pawl relatches with the claw.

Abstract: An actuator includes an electromagnetic coil arrangement that is movable relative to a magnetic field generator; between a first position and a second position of the actuator. The actuator is arranged such that, when the actuator is in the first position, a pulse of current through the electromagnetic coil arrangement produces a region of magnetic field that repels the magnetic field generator from the first position and attracts the magnetic field generator towards the second position to move the actuator to the second position.

Abstract: Actuator for vehicle door locks provides powered shifting of a mechanism component while permitting manual operation thereof. A motor powers a driver annulus having internal teeth and notches in respective axial zones with each tooth being diametrically opposite a notch. A spring-loaded index across the annulus interior has a tail co-acting with the notches and a head co-acting with the teeth and is guided by fixed structure that it can only move angularly to displace the component to which it is linked, by indexing past a tooth when its tail is in a notch. Powered movement of the annulus causes the teeth to selectively shift the index, but manual displacement of the component causes the index to spring past the relevant tooth.

Abstract: A scissor apparatus for a latch assembly is disclosed, which includes a spring comprising a plurality of fingers for controlling the motion one or more sliders associated with said latch assembly, wherein said spring comprises a spring control independent of the actuation of such sliders. The fingers are generally integrated with the spring. Such a one-piece spring can be implemented as a stamped component with 2-off, 3-off or 6-off fingers to control the motion of the sliders. The stamped spring can clip onto existing latch assembly components in order to promote retention, and overcome friction with the latch assembly and return the sliders to a neutral position thereof.
