Abstract: A closure latch includes a ring member connecting the lock operating lever and slidably engaged over an angularly inclined portion of the rod connecting the inside remote handle and the latch operating lever. Initiation of actuation of the inside remote handle shifts the rod and causes the ring to be translated to move the locking lever from its locked position to its unlocked position. Continued actuating movement of the inside remote handle unlatches the door. Thus, the closure latch is unlocked and unlatched by a single actuation of the inside handle rather than by the sequential and separate lifting of a lock button followed by actuation of the inside handle.
