- a conventional door latch is provided with outer and internal door-opening devices such as a push-button, a
- the door opening devices are connected with a locking device installed within the door structure by way of a link or the like so as to release the door locking upon opening-operation of the opening devices.
- the door opening devices are operated against resilient forces of springs of the locking device. To effect easy operation, the resilient forces of the springs and the lever ratio of the link are determined properly. Meanwhile, the door opening devices have a certain weight and will have inertia acting thereon to effect its operation by external force caused by impact energy produced in a vehicle collision, and so forth. This inertia, when large enough, opens the door unexpectedly only to cause dangers that the driver falls out of the vehicle cabin and the door strikes external objects or pedestrians.
- a locking device as is provided with a balance weight which generates counter-inertia to off-set the undesired one.
- the counter-inertia has to be larger than the inertia acting on the door opening devices. Consequentially, the balance weight becomes larger in size to require a big space for the installation thereof.
- An object of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a safety apparatus for the vehicle door latches of the mentioned type, wherein a weight element is swingably assembled within the latch and displacements of the weight element holds the locking condition of the latch against any external force acting on the door opening device in a door opening direction.
