Abstract

A latch assembly includes a frame and a pawl including a surface for receiving a striker and being movably coupled to the frame between an open and a closed position. In the closed position, the pawl is positioned to retain the striker to the latch assembly, and, in the open position, the pawl is not positioned to retain the striker to the latch assembly. A spring guide is connected to the pawl and the frame, wherein, in the closed position of the pawl, the spring guide is configured to bias the pawl such that the pawl remains in the closed position, and in the open position of the pawl, the spring guide is configured to bias the pawl such that the pawl remains in the open position. One end of the spring guide is connected to the pawl, and the opposite end of the spring guide is unconstrained.
