ABSTRACT:
A scissor apparatus for a latch assembly, which includes a spring comprising a plurality of fingers for controlling the motion one or more sliders associated with the latch assembly, and wherein the spring comprises a spring control independent of the actuation of such sliders. The fingers are generally integrated with the spring. Such a one-piece spring can be implemented as a stamped component with 2-off, 3-off or 6-off fingers to control the motion of the sliders. The stamped spring can clip onto existing latch assembly components in order to promote retention, and overcome friction with the latch assembly and return the sliders to a neutral position thereof.
