ABSTRACT:
A power striker apparatus for a movable closure assembly includes a fixed frame defining a portal through a barrier. A movable closure is mounted on the frame for movement along a fixed path between a first end limit of movement wherein the closure is in a closed position obstructing the portal and a second end limit of movement wherein the closure is in an open position. The power striker apparatus can include a striker mounted on one of the frame and the closure. A latch mechanism is mounted on the other of the frame and the closure, so that the latch mechanism is engageable with the striker for releasibly latching the closure in the closed position. A base member is provided for supporting the striker for movement between a first position and a second position with respect to the latch mechanism. A biasing member urges the base member toward the first position. A drive mechanism moves the base member from the first position against the urging of the biasing member toward the second position. The drive mechanism can also selectively release the base member when in the second position so that the striker snaps back to the first position in response to the urging of the biasing member to dynamically drive the striker into the primary latch position of the latch mechanism from the secondary latch position.
