Vehicle seat attachment latch assembly

摘要

A vehicle seat attachment latch assembly ( 24 ) includes a latch ( 40 ) mounted for movement between latched and unlatched positions with respect to a striker ( 29 ) to secure and selectively release a vehicle seat with respect to a vehicle body. A latching wedge ( 48 ) is mounted on the latch ( 40 ) for movement therewith and for movement with respect thereto in cooperation with a bias ( 54 ) provided by a first spring ( 58 ) that moves a wedging surface 52 of the latching wedge ( 48 ) into wedging contact with the striker ( 29 ) with the latch ( 40 ) in its latched position in order to provide a rattle free attachment. A locking pawl ( 70 ) and a spring ( 78 ) cooperate to hold the latch ( 40 ) in its latched position or permit release thereof for movement to the unlatched position where the striker ( 29 ) is released.
