DOOR LATCH WITH DOUBLE LOCK

摘要

In an aspect, a latch is provided for a vehicle door, and includes a housing, a ratchet and pawl, a release lever, a primary lock lever, an inside lock lever and a double lock lever. The primary lock lever is movable between locked and unlocked positions to prevent or permit a connection of the release lever to the pawl. The inside lock lever is movable by a lock knob on the door and is operatively connectable to the primary lock lever to cause movement of the primary lock lever to the locked position and unlocked position respectively. The double lock lever is movable between a double locked position to operatively disconnect the inside lock lever from the primary lock lever (e.g. via a link), and a non-double locked position in which the double lock lever operatively disconnects the inside lock lever to the primary lock lever.
