Abstract
A latch () includes a rotatable jaw () that engages and holds a striker () in a latched position. A rotatable pawl () in an engaged position is operative to hold the jaw in the latched position. Movement of the pawl to a disengaged position enables the jaw to move to an unlatched position and to disengage the striker. The pawl is movable from the engaged position to the disengaged position through operation of either an electrical actuator () or through movement of an actuating end () of the pawl by a cable ().
