<p>A double latch assembly (10) for a motor vehicle having two pivotably mounted closure members is disclosed in which a sequencing lever (30) is used to release first and second pawls (18, 27) used to hold first and second rotatable claws (14, 24) in respective latched positions. A single actuator A1 is used to release both of the pawls (18, 27) but because of the use of a disengageable coupling (29, 35) between the sequencing lever (30) and the second pawl (27) it is ensured that the first pawl 18 is always released before the second pawl (27). Only a single actuator A1 is required to release both pawls (18, 27) and no sensors are required to control the sequencing of the pawls (18, 27).</p> |
