ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism includes a latch member pivotally connected with a mounting bracket for movement between latched and released positions, together with a spring clutch device that normally permits pivotal movement of the latch member toward the latched position. The latch member includes a cam surface that is operable by a striker member to displace the latch member from the released position to the latched position as the striker member is displaced toward the mounting bracket (for example, during the closure movement of a hood component to which the striker member is attached). A release device serves to operate the spring clutch to a released condition, whereupon the latch member is spring-biased toward the released position, thereby to unlock the striker member from the mounting bracket.
