Embodiment Construction

[0035] refer to figure 1 , which shows a vehicle 11 with a bonnet 13 on which a striker pin 22 is arranged. The striker 22 can be captured by the latch 10 mounted on the body (shown at 15 ) of the vehicle 11 . refer to figure 2 , the latch 10 includes a ratchet 12, a pawl 14, a release lever 16, a double lever 18 and a housing 20 (a portion of the housing 20 is omitted for clarity). figure 2 The view shown in is an exploded view, and accordingly, the elements of the latch are in figure 2 is not shown in its installed position. Such as image 3 As shown in, the ratchet 12 is pivotally connected to the housing 20 and can be image 3 shown in the first closed position, Figure 6 shown in the second closed position as well as Figure 9 to move between the open positions shown in . The pivotal movement of the ratchet 12 can be about a pin 25 mounted to the housing 20 ( image 3 )conduct. In the first and second closed positions, the ratchet 12 inhibits the withdrawal o...

Abstract

A latch described herein comprises a ratchet movable between a primary closed position, a secondary closed position and an open position. The ratchet is biased towards the open position for facilitating travel of a striker in a fishmouth of the latch to the secondary closed position. The latch includes a pawl movable between a primary locking position, a secondary locking position and an unlocking position. The pawl is biased towards the primary locking position and has a pawl locking surface for holding the ratchet in the primary closed position and the secondary closed position. The latch includes a lift lever biased towards the open position for moving the striker in the fishmouth away from the secondary closed position and towards the open position when the pawl is in the unlocking position. The striker is further from the primary position when in the open position compared to the secondary closed position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to latches for closure panels, and more particularly to latches for vehicle hoods. Background technique [0002] Latches for vehicle hoods and the like are typically actuated in two stages. During the first stage, the handle is actuated within the vehicle, which moves the latch from a first closed position to a second closed position. To fully release the latch, the vehicle occupant typically must exit the vehicle and actuate a lever located under the hood. This may be inconvenient in some situations. [0003] Current state of the art latching of the hood involves two operations to achieve opening of the hood, first one operation from inside the vehicle, followed by additional hood actuation at the front of the vehicle to Complete the release of the latch. What is desired is a mechanism provided for multiple stage releases from inside the vehicle. Also desirable is a visual signal that the hood has been released thro...
