Abstract

See full text

A vehicle latch assembly (10) includes a release member (40) pivotally mounted on a housing (20) for movement from a start position where a catch (24) secures a closure member striker (18) and a released position where a pawl (32) permits the catch to move to a released position. An actuating portion (42) of the release member holds the pawl (32) in a released position if the catch (24) after being released by the pawl does not move to its released position because the associated closure member remains closed. A positioning member (66) cyclically positions a drive portion (62) of an output gear (60) of a worm gear drive (54).
