Apparatus and method for hold open feature in a latch

A method of disengaging a hold open feature from engagement with a detent lever of a latch, comprising:

• pivotally mounting a fork bolt to the latch for movement between an open position and a closed position;
• pivotally mounting the detent lever to the latch for movement between a latched position and a released position, wherein the detent lever engages the fork bolt and prevents the fork bolt from moving from the closed position to the open position when the detent lever is in the latched position;
• movably mounting a bellcrank lever to the latch for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the bellcrank lever is configured to engage move the detent lever from the latched position to the released position as it moves from the first position to the second position;
• and
• movably mounting a hold open feature to the latch for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the hold open feature is configured to engage and retain the bellcrank lever in the second position when the hold open feature is in the first position and wherein the hold open feature allows the bell crank lever to travel from the second position to the first position when the hold open feature is in the second position.
