Abstract
A toggle release mechanism for a vehicle door latch control assembly including an actuating member having a thumb actuated release button molded thereon. The mechanism includes a barrel-shaped roller snapped into the actuating member, first and second levers operatively connected at one end of each to a base member and pivotally snapped together at the other ends thereof. One of the levers is adapted to slide against the roller when the thumb button is depressed, moving the lever along the base member against the force of a coil spring connected between the base member and the lever. The lever provides a connection for a cable extending to operatively connect to a vehicle sliding door control assembly.
