<p>PCT No. PCT/GB94/02208 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 12, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 12, 1996 PCT Filed Oct. 10, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/10679 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 20, 1995Latch assembly for securing vehicle doors and other closures such as boot lids or tail gates co-acts with a conventional striker releasably retained by a pivoted claw or other catch mechanism to hold the striker in a mouth of the assembly. A displaceable jaw or, preferably, pair of opposing jaws conveniently form part of a unitary sub-assembly including a yoke connecting inner ends of the jaws which is displaceable inwardly of the mouth. The jaws have wedging surfaces that co-act with corresponding wedging surfaces of a latch body to provide laterally inward wedging action as the jaws are carried inwardly by the striker for positive non-rattle location of the latter. A resilient buffer may be provided which is compressed by the striker at the closed position.</p> |
