ABSTRACT:
An electrically operated latch device which includes a base, a striker moveable relative to the base, and a latch fork mounted on the base which is rotatable to capture the striker to prevent movement of the striker relative to the base. The latch fork captures the striker when the latch fork is in a first position. A pawl is rotatably mounted on the base and moveable between a position blocking rotation of the latch fork and a release position permitting rotation of the latch fork. The latch device also includes an electric actuator having a drive member. The actuator moves the drive member to an actuated position when the actuator is electrically energized, the drive member directly engaging and holding the pawl in the release position when the drive member is in the actuated position. When the drive member is in the unactuated position, the pawl is permitted to rotate to the blocking position.
