The present disclosure relates to a closure latch for a vehicle door, and more particularly to a closure latch for a vehicle door equipped with a passive entry feature. To this end, the present disclosure relates to the use of a power child lock actuator to manage the double pull function of the closure latch.

A closure latch assembly for a vehicle door includes a latch mechanism and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes a lock link pivotable between unlock and lock positions, and dual cam arrangement which functions in coordination with rotation of a power lock gear to establish a first locked state where a first cam holds the lock link its lock position and a second locked state where a second cam holds the lock link in its lock position. An unlocked state is established when neither of the first and second cams engage the lock link in its unlock position.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle door lock comprising a locking mechanism consisting essentially of a rotary latch and a pawl, further comprising an actuation lever mechanism (2a, 2b) that acts on the pawl, and a child safety device (3) that includes a child safety lever (4) to which the force of a spring (5) is applied. According to the invention, the child safety lever (4) and the spring (5) are designed as a subassembly (4, 5).

A door latch apparatus that is mounted on a vehicle door and that achieves at low cost a structure that is for ensuring operational reliability of an open lever. The door latch apparatus includes a cap formed by resin material and including a cylindrical shape, the cap being arranged in an inserted manner at an attachment shaft extended in a form of a shaft in a predetermined direction, an elastic spring member that elastically biases a pawl from a non restriction position towards a restriction position, and a coming-off prevention mechanism that, by making part of the elastic spring member to engage with the cap, prevents the cap from coming off from the attachment shaft.

A vehicle door operation device includes an inside handle, a full open unlocking lever for transmitting a closing operation of the inside handle to a full open door latch device, and a full closure unlocking lever for transmitting an opening operation of the inside handle to a full closure door latch device. The inside handle has first and projecting portions, and when the inside handle rotates in a first direction by the closing operation, the first projecting portion is brought into abutment with the full open unlocking lever to enable the full open unlocking lever to operate, whereas when the inside handle rotates in a second direction by the opening operation, the second projecting portion is brought into abutment with the full closure unlocking lever to enable the full closure unlocking lever to operate.

This invention relates to a door latch system. The door latch system includes: a housing; a latch pivotally and rotatably installed in the housing; a main locking member slidingly installed in the housing for locking the latch; a sub-locking member slidingly installed in the housing and disposed in one side of the main locking member; a hook pivotally and movably installed in any one of the main locking member and the sub-locking member; a stopping threshold formed in the other one (wherein the hook is not installed) of the main locking member and the sub-locking member; and a locking plate slidingly installed in the housing for pivotally moving the hook, wherein the main locking member and the sub-locking member are sliding together when the hook is held by the stopping threshold by the sliding of the locking plate, and only the sub-locking member is sliding when the hook is separated from the stopping threshold by the sliding of the locking plate, so that even if the door lever is being pulled when the door is being locked, the unnecessary force is not transferred to the other components such as a latch, a main locking member, and the like.
