Abstract
A striker locking latch assembly having a mounting bracket and a cover plate secured together by first and second bushings to define a package interior. The first bushing rotatably supports a structural cam and a cinching cam, with the second bushing rotatably supporting a hook adapted to engage the striker when seated within an underside cavity defined between the bracket and plate. A torsional spring biases the cinching cam in a first direction for maintaining a first biasing contact with the hook engaging with the striker. A coil spring extends between the structural cam and a rotationally offset location of the hook such that, and upon the structural cam being pivoted into engagement with the cinching cam and against the first biasing component, continued pivotal actuation of the structural cam and cinching cam causes the second biasing component to pivot the hook out of contact with the striker in a second release position, at which the cinching cam establishes a second biasing contact with the hook.
