<p>Passenger vehicle door latch assembly (10) (Figure 1) includes inhibiting means for preventing accidental setting of the latch to locked condition while the door is open. A resiliently loaded plunger (42) is guided in fixed structure (32) between a blocking position at which a head (44) or other stop formation of the plunger prevents shifting of an element (36) of locking mechanism to its locked position and a free position at which locking can take place. The plunger co-acts with a face of a claw or other latch formation (12) or with a face of a pawl or other retention element (16) whenever the latter formation or element are not in their door securing relationship so preventing movement of the plunger from the blocking position until the door is closed.</p> |
