ABSTRACT:
A vehicle door latch assembly comprises a latching mechanism carried by a vehicle door structure, a manually operable releasing assembly mounted on the door frame, a flexible cable, and a cable controlling assembly. The latching mechanism includes a movable releasing component and a latch, and is movable between an unlatched and latched relation with the door opening catch. The manually operable releasing assembly is mounted for resiliently biased movement into an inoperative position, the releasing assembly having a manually engageable component disposed outwardly of the interior panel. The manually engageable component can be manually engaged and moved to move the releasing assembly against the resilient bias thereof from the inoperative position thereof into an operative position so that upon manual release of the manually engageable component the resilient bias will return the releasing assembly into the inoperative position thereof. The flexible cable has one end connected with the manually operable releasing assembly and a spaced portion connected with the movable releasing component so as to transmit the movement of the manually operable releasing assembly into movement of the releasing component. The cable-controlling assembly is operatively associated with an end portion of the flexible cable and has a length at least as great as the extent of movement of the one end when the moving component is moved between the inoperative and releasing positions. The cable-controlling assembly is in surrounding relation to the cable end portion to prevent the buckling of the flexible cable portion under compression during the resiliently biased return of the releasing assembly.
