Latch assembly capable of maintaining locking state

A latch assembly capable of maintaining a locking state thereof, the latch assembly comprising:

• a rotatable locking plate selectively receiving a striker;
• a rotatable pawl engaged with the locking plate to prevent rotation of the locking plate, thereby maintaining the locking state of the latch assembly, in which the locking plate restrains the striker, and the pawl is separated from the locking plate when rotated by a cable coupled to the pawl to release restraint of the striker from the locking plate, thereby placing the latch assembly in an unlocking state of the latch assembly;
• and
• a pawl pin simultaneously engaged with the locking plate and the pawl in the locking state before the cable is pulled, and engaged with the pawl after the cable is pulled,
• wherein the pawl pin is provided to be engaged with the pawl when the cable is pulled,
• wherein a pawl cable pin is provided at an end portion of the cable, and the pawl pin and the pawl cable pin are connected to each other by a bracket, so that the pawl pin is interlocked with the cable, and
• wherein the pawl cable pin and the pawl pin are fastened to the bracket at fixed positions.

A latch assembly capable of maintaining a locking state thereof, the latch assembly comprising:

• a rotatable locking plate that selectively receives a striker;
• a rotatable pawl comprising a first locking part engaged with the locking plate to prevent rotation of the locking plate, thereby maintaining the locking state of the latch assembly, in which the locking plate restrains the striker, and the pawl is separated from the locking plate when the pawl is rotated by a cable coupled to the pawl to release restraint of the striker by the locking plate, so as to place the latch assembly in an unlocking state;
• and
• a pawl pin provided between the pawl and the locking plate and configured to prevent a rotation of the pawl and the rotation of the locking plate in the locking state of the latch assembly by restraining the rotation of the pawl and the rotation of the locking plate, and the pawl pin enables the rotation of the pawl and the rotation of the locking plate when the pawl is actuated to release the latch assembly from the locking state to the unlocking state,
• wherein an end portion of the cable is fixed to a pawl cable pin provided in the pawl to be slidable within a predetermined distance in the pawl, thereby coupling the cable to the pawl, and
• wherein the pawl pin, which is provided to be simultaneously fitted into the pawl and the locking plate in the locking state of the latch assembly, is interlocked with the pawl cable pin,
• wherein the latch assembly further comprises a bracket, on which the pawl cable pin and the pawl pin are fastened, so as to be spaced from one another on the bracket such that the pawl pin is interlocked with the pawl cable pin,
• wherein the pawl cable pin and the pawl pin are fastened to the bracket at fixed positions.
