LATCH FOR A DOOR OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

A door latch for a motor vehicle includes a supporting body, a closing assembly cooperating with a latch striker, an opening mechanism having an opening lever rotatable about a first axis, and an inertia lever hinged to the supporting body about a second axis and being free to rotate about the second axis between a release position in which the inertia lever is decoupled from opening mechanism, and a first blocking position and a second blocking position in which the inertia lever engages the opening lever and prevents the opening mechanism from moving the closing assembly from a closing configuration to an opening configuration.

1. A latch for a door of a motor vehicle, comprising:
a supporting body; a closing assembly adapted to cooperate with a latch striker and which can assume a closing configuration in which it engages the latch striker and keeps it in a fixed position, and an opening configuration in which it is disengaged from the latch striker, an opening mechanism having an opening lever lying in a plane orthogonal to a first axis and rotatable about said first axis, said opening mechanism being selectively movable between a latched configuration in which it leaves said closing assembly in said closing configuration and an unlatched configuration in which it causes said closing assembly to move from said closing configuration into said opening configuration; and an inertia lever mounted to said supporting body and being free to rotate about a second axis between a release position in which said inertia lever is decoupled from said opening mechanism and a first blocking position and a second blocking position in which said inertia lever prevents said opening mechanism from moving said closing assembly from said closing configuration to said opening configuration; wherein one of said opening lever and said inertia lever includes, in its lying plane, a main portion, a first tooth and a second tooth protruding from said main portion, and a slot interposed between said first tooth and said second tooth, wherein the other one of said opening lever and said inertia lever includes a main plate and a pin protruding from said main plate, said slot housing with room said pin when said inertia lever is in said release position, and wherein said pin abuts said first tooth or said second tooth when said inertia lever is set respectively in said first blocking position or said second blocking position; wherein said inertia lever is rotatable, in use, in a first direction from said release position to said first blocking position about said second axis, and wherein said inertia lever is rotatable, in use, in a second direction, opposite to said first direction, from said release position to said second blocking position about said second axis.
