LATCH ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE COMPARTMENT DOOR

摘要

A latch for use in a compartment for an interior of a vehicle includes a button configured to travel in a first direction in response to a depressing force and a first side arm configured to translate along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first arm includes a first side pin, a first wedge coupled to the first side pin and configured to drive the first side arm in the second direction in response to movement of the button in the first direction, and a first interlocking section coupled to the wedge. The latch also includes a second side arm configured to translate along a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and a linkage configured to interlock with the first and second arms and substantially equalize the translation of the first side arm to the translation of the second side arm.
