ABSTRACT:
A door latch has a control lever operable between an unlocked position permitting normal unlatching of the latch and a locking position preventing unlatching of the latch. A locking lever is pivoted on a housing and operably connected with the lock control lever so that pivoting of the locking lever will operate the lock control lever. The locking lever has a slot receiving a pin carried by a pin control link. An inside lever is pivoted on the housing and operably connected with the inside locking button so that operation of the inside locking button pivots the inside lever. The inside lever has an L-shaped slot, which overlies an elongate slot of the locking lever. A drive pin carried by a control link is captured within the slots. The control link is mounted on a rack which is motor operated. In an extended position of the rack, the control link establishes the drive pin at a position within the slots connecting the locking lever and inside lever for rotation so that movement of the inside lock button between the lock and unlock positions will pivot the inside lever and the locking lever to operate the lock control lever. When the rack is extended by actuating the motor, the control link moves the pin to align with a bypass pocket of the L-shaped slot so that the locking lever remains at rest during movement of the inside lever by the inside locking button.
