Latch for vehicle closure member

摘要

A latch (36) for a vehicle body closure member (24) includes a release lever (58) supported by a pin and slot mounting connection (60) on a housing (44) for translational movement between freewheeling and operating positions. The release lever (58) through a pin and slot control connection (62) with a latching pawl (54) and its positioning in either the freewheeling or operating position prevents or permits unlatching of the closure member.
