ABSTRACT:
A new latch assembly for a vehicle glove box door, or other locking device, wherein the door is to be held in a flush position relating to an adjoining panel surface. The latch assembly includes a freewheeling locking feature, an actuator member which is not sensitive to the striker positional variance, improved low handle opening effort. The latch assembly also include improved lock cylinder loading, and improved closing efforts by use of a molded urethane bumper. The latch assembly also has improved styling with a single color throughout using no metal parts which need lubrication, and the latch assembly unit is fully enclosed so that no moving parts are visible and the scorpion tail has been not used.
