Embodiment Construction

[0014] see figure 1 and figure 2 , reference numeral 10 generally denotes the vehicle latch assembly according to the first embodiment. The vehicle latch assembly 10 is generally designed for use on a vehicle (not shown) with a door having a door handle. In some embodiments, the vehicle latch assembly 10 may be mounted on a driver's side door or a passenger's side door. It is also contemplated that the vehicle latch assembly 10 may be mounted in an alternative location on the vehicle, such as a door opening on a B-pillar or may be used in conjunction with a vehicle rear door such as a liftgate, trunk or tailgate.

[0015] The vehicle latch assembly 10 includes a housing 12 that helps protect the vehicle latch assembly 10 from damage and dirt or debris. The housing 12 is mounted to the vehicle door, such as with a plurality of mechanical fasteners or welding, for example. The housing 12 includes a water stop 14 that surrounds the interface between the actuator housing 16 a...

Abstract

A vehicle latch assembly includes a plurality of levers for transferring actuation forces to open and close the vehicle latch assembly, at least one of the plurality of levers formed of at least one polymer, wherein the plurality of levers includes a child lock engage lever. Also included is an actuator housing assembly including a water deflector enclosing a connection between an actuator housingand a cover, the vehicle latch assembly reducing sound, reducing release effort, and reducing water intrusion.

Description

technical field [0001] The subject matter disclosed herein relates to vehicle door latches. Background technique [0002] Door latches must meet the strength and sound requirements of different markets. The release of some latches does not feel smooth and the user experiences an undesirable "bump" during operation. In addition, previous assemblies may not be able to meet the requirements for highly sealed load relief. The locking and unlocking forces of child safety locks are imprecise and in some latch assemblies they can deteriorate after exposure to high temperatures. The latch must also eliminate the possibility of water ingress. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a suitable seal and / or direct the water away from the interior portion of the latch assembly. Contents of the invention [0003] A vehicle latch assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a plurality of rods for transmitting an actuation force to open and close the vehicle latch assembly, at least o...
