Abstract: A drive mechanism assembly (14) for enabling driving and manual movement of a sliding side door (12). The assembly (14) has a track assembly (16) mounted to a vehicle body (10) at a predetermined height and a drive mechanism (18) mounted to the sliding side door (12) so as to be proximate to a door latchi ng mechanism (19). The drive mechanism (18) has an input drive motor (22) drivi ng an output gear assembly (24) engaging the track assembly (16) and a transmission gear assembly (23) with a sliding gear (50) which selectively couples the input drive motor (22) and an input gear assembly (23) to the output gear assembly (24) between an engaged position for driving movement o r disengaged position for manual movement of the sliding side door (12). In th is way, the slide ride door (12) may be moved manually between open and closed positions without having to overcome the effort required of rotating the dri ve motor (22).

Abstract: A vehicle door latch (10) has a housing (2) having a mouth (4) for receiving a striker. A ratchet (56) is pivotally mounted to the housing for rotation between latched and unlatched conditions . The ratchet (56) cooperates with the mouth (4) to selectively retain a striker. A pawl (62) is mounted to the housing (2) f or releasably engaging the ratchet (56). The pawl (62) is moveable relative to the ratchet (56) between a rest position engaging th e ratchet to block movement of the ratchet toward the unlatched condition and a released position disengaging the ratchet to allow movement of the ratchet toward the unlatched condition. A release lever (22) is mounted to the housing and operably connected to the pawl (62) by a clutch lever (94) extending therebetween. The clutch lever (94) is moveable between an engaged position operably connecting the release lever (22) to the pawl (62) effecting movement of the pawl toward the released position and a disengaged position operably disconnecting the release lever from the pawl. A locking lever (100) is mounted to the housing for moving the clutch lever (94) between the engaged and disengaged positions. The clutch lever (94) moves in a first plane (19) to effect movement of the pawl and the locking lever moves the clutch lever out the first plane(19) to effect movement between the engaged and said disengaged positions.

Abstract: An attachment clip (200) for a vehicle door latch assembly includes a first clip portion (102), a second clip portion (104), and a resilient hinge (206) extending between the clip portions for facilitating relative movement of the clip portions so as to allow the clip portions (102, 104) to close around the attachment member (40). The first clip portion (102) includes a first alignment member (118) protruding therefrom, and the second clip portion (104) includes a first alignment channel (122) configured for receiving the first alignment member (40) therein for facilitating alignment of the first clip portion (102) with the second clip portion (104). The resilient hinge (206) includes an alignment boss (228) provided thereon and is disposed for engagement with one of the clip portions for facilitating alignment of the first alignment member (1 l8a) with the first alignment channel (122a) when the clip portions (102, 104) begin to close around the attachment member (140).

Abstract: A flexible link connects a release pawl of a latch to key cylinder. The link has a connector at each end thereof for connecting to the release pawl at one en d and for connecting to the key cylinder at the opposite end. The link has a flexing section intermediate of the ends. The flexing section has a bias for deflecting in a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A hood latch assembly (10) has a housing (14) having a mouth (13). A ratchet (16) is pivotally mounted within the housing (14) to cooperate with the mouth (13) to pivot between an open, a secondary closed and a primary closed condition for receiving, engaging and cinching a keeper of a striker (80). The ratchet (16) is biased to the open condition. A pivotally mounted primary pawl (18) is biased for engagement with the ratchet (16) to releasably retain the ratchet (16) in the primary closed condition. A pivotally mounted secondary pawl (62) is biased for engagement with the ratchet (16) to releasably retain the ratchet (16) in the secondary closed condition. The secondary pawl (62) has a release lever (20) which rotates between a deployed position and a retracted position. As the ratchet (16) engages the striker (80), the ratchet (16) will rotate in a latching sense from the open condition to the secondary closed condition. As the ratchet (16) further rotates from the secondary closed to the primary closed condition, fully engaging the striker (80), the secondary pawl (62) follows the ratchet (16), allowing the release lever (20) to rotate from a deployed position to a retracted position. Upon release of the primary engagement by disengaging the primary pawl (18), the ratchet (16) will rotate from theprimary closed to he secondary closed condition. The secondary pawl (62) will follow the ratchet (16) rotating the release lever (20) from the retracted position to the deployed position. The operator then manipulates the release lever (20) to release the ratchet (16), allowing the ratchet (16) to rotate from the secondary closed to the open condition. The hood latch (10) has a light (82) which is operable responsive to movement of the release arm (20) moving from the retracted position and the deployed position. Changes of the hood latch (10) between the primary closed condition and the secondary closed condition will open and close the switch (78). The switch (78) is disposed between a light source (82) mounted to illuminate the hood latch (10) region and a source of electrical power. Opening and closing of the switch (78) will responsively illuminate the light (82).

Abstract: A power striker mechanism (10) has a housing (16) adapted for mounting on a vehicle. A striker assembly (12) is mounted to the housing and constrained to slide between an inboard and outboard position. An outer link (42) is pivotally attached to the striker assembly (12). An inner link (48) is pivotally attached to the housing (16) and pivotally attached to the outer link (42). A cinching mechanism (14) linkably connects the inner (48) and outer links (42). Driving movement of the cinching mechanism (14) effects the inboard and outboard movement of the striker assembly (12). The driving movement is generally perpendicular to the inboard outboard movement of the striker assembly (12) thereby isolating the cinching mechanism (14) from loads imparted to the striker assembly (12).

Abstract: A latch and mounting pin assembly (20) includes a latch housing (22) with an inner plate mounted to one side (28) and an outer plate mounted to an opposing side (26). Each of the plates include three apertures which are aligned with each other. Three mounting pins (36) are included with each pin extending through a corresponding pair of apertures. A head (38) is disposed on one end of each of the pins for abutting the outer plate. The latch and pin assembly is characterized by each mounting pin having an enlarged barrel portion extending from the head to a shoulder. The shoulder abuts the inner plate to orient the outer plate relative to the inner plate. There is also provided a threaded shank (50) extending outward from the shoulder to provide a means for mounting the assembly to a frame of a vehicle.

Abstract: A latch (10) having a housing (12, 14, 16, 18) to which a ratchet (38) is pivotably mounted by a rivet (40) for rotation about a first axis between a latched and unlatched configuration. A slot (44) extents through the latch and has a first arcuate portion (100) and a first radial portion (102). A pawl assembly (48, 58, 60, 70) has a roller (48) extending through the slot (44). The pawl assembly is mounted to the housing for movement of the roller relative to the ratchet (38) between a first arcuate portion and a first radial portion of the slot. The rivet (40) is deformable to allow the ratchet (38) to rotate about the roller axis upon the ratchet (38) being exposed to an unlatching force above a predetermined level. A flange (108) extends from the housing across the ratchet (38) to limit the pivotal movement of the ratchet (38) about the roller axis.
