A vehicle latch includes a catch which restricts or releases a striker disposed in a vehicle body, a pawl which comes into contact with one side of the catch to restrict rotation of the catch, a motor which transmits power to a link part, a worm gear engaged with the motor and rotated by operation of the motor, a cinching gear that is engaged with the worm gear, rotates in a direction opposite to that of the worm gear, and includes a protrusion formed to protrude from a front surface, and the link part of which one side is in contact with the protrusion and the other side is in contact with the catch to allow the catch to be rotated by rotation of the protrusion.

The invention relates to a motor vehicle latch, in particular a motor vehicle door latch, which is equipped with a locking mechanism (1, 2) substantially comprising a catch (1) and a pawl (2). An operating lever chain (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) is also provided, comprising an associated door handle (7) and an electromotive drive (9, 10, 11). As the invention also relates to a securing unit (5, 6; 12, 13), wherein the electromotive drive (9, 10, 11) acts on both the locking mechanism (1, 2) for the purpose of electrical opening and on the securing unit (5, 6; 12, 13), and at least temporarily acts upon same during the electrical opening. According to the invention, the locking mechanism (1, 2) can be opened via a two-stroke operation of the door handle (7) in addition to the electromotive drive (9, 10, 11), wherein the two-stroke operation is disabled during the electrical opening.

Vehicle door latch equipment includes an engagement mechanism to engage with a striker, a rotatable opening lever to rotate between a rest position and an actuation position wherein the rotatable opening lever releases the engagement mechanism, and an electrical release mechanism including an electrical release motor with an output shaft, a worm arranged on the output shaft, and a gear wheel to mesh with the worm to be rotated between a rest position and an opening position. The equipment also includes a mechanical release mechanism including a rotatable mechanical lever to be linked mechanically to a handle to be rotated between a rest position and an opening position. The rotatable opening lever, the gear wheel, and the rotatable mechanical lever are arranged on a common shaft.

A door latch for closing a door of a vehicle, such as a motor vehicle, includes a retention unit, an electrical gear wheel, an inner release lever, a central opening lever being driven in active position by the movement of the inner release lever or by the electrical gear wheel, an outer release lever, and a locking lever. The locking lever can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position by the movement of the central opening lever driven in movement by the inner release lever from the rest position to the active position and by the movement of the electrical gear wheel from the rest position to the active position. The locking lever remains in the unlocked position after a releasing of the door latch.

A vehicle door latch includes a retention unit to engage with a striker in a closed position and to release the striker in an open position, a central opening lever to rotate around a first shaft between a rest position and an active position, an electric releasing mechanism including an electric gear wheel to be moved by electric releasing motor from a rest position to an active position, the electrical gear wheel displacing the central opening lever, a mechanical release mechanism including a mechanical lever to be displaced between a rest position and an active position. The mechanical lever displaces the central opening lever towards its active position when the mechanical lever is displaced towards its active position. The mechanical lever is rotatably arranged to the central opening lever via a second shaft of the central opening lever different than the first shaft.

A vehicle door latch includes a retention unit engaging with a striker in the closed position and releasing the striker to release the vehicle door latch in the open position, an electrical release mechanism, a mechanical release mechanism including an inner release lever to be moved from a rest position to an active position, a locking mechanism including a locking lever, an override mechanism including an override lever to move the locking lever from a locked position to the unlocked position. In a first configuration, the override lever has a first shape wherein the override lever stroke is reached at a first position. In a second configuration, the override lever has a second shape wherein the override lever stroke is reached at a second position. The vehicle door latch can be configured according to the first or to the second configuration by replacing the override lever.

A compartment door latch includes a housing and a plunger mounted within the housing. The plunger has an extended position and a retracted position, and a resilient member urges the plunger to the extended position. A manually actuated exterior latch paddle handle mounted to an outer face of the outer housing is operably coupled with a paddle cam and a plunger cam is operably coupled with the paddle cam and the plunger. A lock bolt driver is operably coupled with a key lock and operably coupled with a lock bolt adapted to prevent movement of the plunger in a locked position. An electrically actuated motor and motor actuator operably coupled with the lock bolt, where a controller actuates the motor electrically actuated motor and motor actuator. The lock bolt is selectively displaceable between a locked position and the unlocked position by either the key lock or the controller.
