  • Self-presenting non-excitable secondary hood latch assembly
    Patent number: 7530609
    Abstract: A secondary latch assembly includes a mounting bracket, a release hook, and a release handle operably connected to the release hook. The release handle is pivotable relative to the mounting bracket between a first position wherein the release handle is out of view, a second position wherein the release handle is presented and the release hook is engaging the striker, and a third position wherein the release handle is rotated from its second position and the release hook is released from the striker. A spring member biases the release handle towards the first position. The release hook is pivotable relative to the release handle between a locked position wherein the release hook is lockingly engageable with the striker and a released position wherein the release hook is out of locking engagement with the striker while the release handle remains in the first position.
