POWER STRIKER WITH INERTIALLY ACTIVATED IMPACT CYCLE

摘要

A power striker apparatus (20) engages a striker (22) with a latch (26) to move the striker with respect to the latch mechanism from a secondary latch position to a primary latch position. A base member (24) supports the striker for movement between a first position and a second position with respect to the latch mechanism. A biasing member (28) urges the base member toward the first position. A drive (30) moves the base member from the first position against the urging of the biasing member toward the second position and selectively releases the base member when in the second position if the striker is in the secondary latch position when the base member reaches the second position, such that the striker snaps back to the first position in response to the urging of the biasing member to inertially drive the striker into the primary latch position with respect to the latch mechanism from the secondary latch position before the moveable closure (14) can move with respect to the moveable closure opening (12).
