  • Patent number: 9255429
    Abstract: A 2-step guide hood latch apparatus for a vehicle is provided, which by removing a conventional safety lever, a driver can open a hood merely with two times of manipulation of a release handle indoors without going out of the vehicle, thereby solving the conventional inconvenience of having to put the hand into the hood and manipulate the safety lever. To this end, the 2-step guide hood latch apparatus includes a pawl rotatably mounted on a base plate, a claw rotatably mounted on the base plate in such a way to be held with the pawl, and a guide lever, an end portion of which is hinge-coupled to the pawl by a hinge structure, and a center portion and the other end portion of which are coupled to the claw to induce 1-step lock and 2-step lock states of the claw, in which a hood is opened merely with manipulation of a release lever inside a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9187936
    Abstract: A two step link hood latch apparatus for a vehicle allows a hood to be opened only with an operation of a release handle inside a vehicle. The apparatus includes a claw, the pawl, a pivot, and a link. The claw is disposed at a base plate to be rotatable, restrains a hood striker through a stop groove, and is restrained to a pawl through first and second stop ends in first step and second step lock states. The pawl is disposed at the base plate to be rotatable, and restrains the rotation of the claw in steps by using the stop protrusion. The pivot is disposed at the base plate to be rotatable in a hinge structure, and transmits a pulling force generated from the release handle. The link connects the pivot and the pawl and rotates the pawl in linkage with the pivot.
