摘要： A latch assembly for releasably latching a hinged closure structure to a vehicle body compartment structure. The latch assembly comprises keeper elements engageable by latching levers of a latch mechanism. The latching levers, of which there are two, are paired with pawls effective to hold the levers in latched condition. Each of the latching levers and the respective pawl engageable therewith have opposed cam surfaces adapted to coact when the latching lever is moved toward latching position with its pawl displaced for any reason from latch lever holding position thereby to urge the pawl into such holding position.
