Abstract

A latch assembly (1) for an access door (2) of a storage compartment (3) in a vehicle (4), comprises a locking bar (5) configured to be movable into an engaged configuration which enables the access door (2) to be placed and held into a closed position and into a disengaged configuration which permits the access door (2) to be placed into an opened position; and an automatic locking mechanism (8) including a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator (9) configured to be coupled to the access door (2), the automatic locking mechanism (8) further including a locking feature (10) operably coupled to at least a portion of the locking bar (5, 5'), and configured to engage and disengage the SMA actuator which is electrically energized to move into a locked position to prohibit the locking feature (10) from moving. Further, a latch assembly (1) for an access door (2) of a storage compartment (3) in a vehicle (4) comprises at least one shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator (9) configured to move the locking bar (5, 5'; 26, 27) into the disengaged configuration with the storage compartment (3).
