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 t he mouth (4) to selectively retain a striker. A pawl (62) is mounted to the housing (2) for releasably engaging the ratchet (56). The pawl (62) is moveable relative to the ratchet (56) between a rest position engaging the 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 housi ng 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 moveme nt 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: The present application discloses a power actuator that has a motor having a rotatable motor output member and a clutch assembly. A stamped, cup-shape ferromagnetic coil casing has a generally radially extending base wall and an annular side wall extending generally axially from the base wall. An annular ferromagnetic flux intensifying washer is positioned adjacent to the base wall of the coil casing. An annular coil of electroconductive material is disposed within the casing with the side wall extending in surrounding relation with respect to the coil such that the field generated by the coil flows generally radially through the base wall and generally axially through said side wall. A ferromagnetic armature is in sliding relation with the annular coil and movable between an engaged position and a disengaged position.

Abstract: The present application discloses a power actuator for a latch assembly. The power actuator has a motor (70) having a rotatable motor output member (94) and a clutch assembly (50). The clutch assembly has a rotatable clutch outpu t member (48). A stamped, cup-shaped ferromagnetic coil casing (126) has a generally radially extending base wall and an annular side wall extending generally axially from the base wall. An annular ferromagnetic flux intensifying washer (160) is positioned adjacent to the base wall of the coi l casing. An annular coil of electroconductive material is operable to selectively generate a magnetic field. The coil (112-118) is disposed within the casing with the side wall extending in surrounding relation with respect to the coil such that the field generated by the coil flows generally radial ly through the base wall and generally axially through said side wall. A ferromagnetic armature (120) is in sliding relation with the annular coil an d movable between (a) an engaged position wherein the armature couples the mot or output member and the clutch output member together so that energization of the motor rotatably drives the clutch output member and (b) a disengaged position wherein the motor output member and the clutch output member are uncoupled to enable the clutch output member to rotate without resistance fr om the motor. Selective energizing of the coil effects movement of the armature between the engaged and disengaged positions thereof.

Abstract: A power-operated vehicle door locking assembly including separate inner and outer door locking mechanisms connected with a housing assembly and an electric motorized system operable to selectively move (1) the inner door locking mechanism between an inoperative and an inner door locking position in response to inner manual electric motor energizing actuations and (2) the outer door locking mechanism between an inoperative and an outer door locking positions in response to outer manual electric motor energizing actuations. The arrangement is such that an outer manual electric motor energizing actuation without a corresponding inner manual electric motor energizing actuation causes a door latching assembly when in a door latching position to be incapable of being moved into a door unlatching position by an outer door latch releasing mechanism while at the same time the door latching assembly is capable of being moved into the door unlatching position thereof by an inner door latch releasing mechanism.
