ABSTRACT:
A solenoid actuated self-compensating latching apparatus adapted for use in motor vehicle applications. The latching appartus includes a solenoid assembly having an armature movable between a first and second position. A latch mechanism is secured to the solenoid assembly and includes a latch member coupled to the armature for lockingly engaging a striker when the armature is in one position and releasably disengaging the striker when the armature is in the other position. The latch mechanism is self-compensating to align the latch member relative to the striker, prior to engagement therewith, to compensate for alignment variation between the latch member and the striker.
