Abstract

An actuator (50) comprises a housing (51, 52), a motor (60), a drive mechanism (70) and a clutch (80) coupled to the drive mechanism (70). The motor (60) is mounted displaceably relative to the housing (51, 52). A displacement of the motor (60) relative to the housing (51, 52) is operative to actuate the clutch (80).

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to an actuator and a method of actuating a latch. Embodiments of the invention relate in particular to an actuator configured for use in a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Actuators have a wide variety of applications. Actuators are widely used in vehicles to provide better comfort. [0003] For purposes of illustration and not limitation, the actuator may be used to actuate a latch in a vehicle seat or in other technical fields. Latches can be used in locks or in a variety of other applications, such as seat latches on vehicle seats or other seating to secure components against movement. Exemplary embodiments of these latches include latches that secure the backrests of vehicle seats. When these latches are released or disengaged, the backrest can be folded down. Other exemplary embodiments of these latches include latches that secure a seat portion of a vehicle seat. For example, when the latches are in...
