Abstract
A standard power-type motor-vehicle latch assembly comprises a door latch having an actuating lever displaceable between a position in which a respective door of the vehicle is locked and a position in which the respective door is unlocked, a locking knob connected to the lever and accessible from inside the vehicle to displace the lever between its positions, a power actuator having a housing, a motor in the housing, and an actuating element movable by the motor between a pair of positions, and a linkage interconnecting the element with the lever for operation of the latter by the former. The actuator housing is mounted directly on the door latch and the level is integrally formed with an actuating arm having an end projecting from the latch into the actuator housing and forming part of the linkage. The element is formed with a seat receiving the arm end and also forming part of the linkage.
