    摘要: A powered latch assembly for a vehicle tailgate includes a latch structured to engage a striker mounted on a vehicle and to be rotatable into a latching position when engaged with the striker, so as to maintain the tailgate in a closed position associated with the latching position of the latch. The latch assembly also includes a latch control member rotationally connected to the latch and structured to be engageable by a pawl of the latch assembly to maintain the latch control member in a position associated with the latching position of the latch. A rotational position of the latch is thus controlled by engagement between the pawl and the latch control member rotationally connected to the latch. A wall may be provided between the latch and the latch control member to environmentally isolate the latch control member and components of the latch assembly from the vehicle exterior environment.

    摘要: A powered latch assembly for a vehicle tailgate includes a latch having a slot structured to receive a striker therein during closing of a tailgate. The latch is structured to be rotatable about a rotational axis into a latched position of the latch when the striker is received in the slot so as to maintain the tailgate in at least one closed position of the tailgate associated with the latched position. The latch is also structured so that, with respect to a vertical plane extending through the rotational axis, a centroid of a cross-section of the striker taken through a portion of the striker residing inside the slot resides along a first side of the plane when the latch is in a fully-latched position.

    摘要: A lower lock device includes a base being fixed to a slide door, a first hook and a second hook each including a base end portion being rotatably supported by the base, and a driving link that is rotatably supported by the base, and drives the first hook and the second hook. The first hook and the second hook rotate between an engaged position of sandwiching a lower striker by tip portions being close to each other and a retracted position in which the tip portions are separated from each other. The driving link is displaced between a first position in which the first hook and the second hook are disposed in the engaged position and a second position in which the first hook and the second hook are disposed in the retracted position.
