Claim 0:
1. A two-pull, automatic reset, latch system comprising:
a release lever adapted to move about a first axis and in a first rotational direction upon actuation, the release lever including a stop face facing circumferentially in the first rotational direction;
a coupling lever adapted to move about a second axis and between a coupled condition and a decoupled condition, wherein the coupling lever is in contact with the stop face when in the coupled condition and circumferentially spaced from the stop face when in the decoupled condition, and the first axis is offset from the second axis;
a reset lever adapted to rotate about a third axis, the reset lever including a first block-out surface facing in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction and with respect to the third axis; and
an override link movably engaged to the coupling lever and adapted to move about a fourth axis, the override link including a second block-out surface facing radially outward with respect to the fourth axis;
a biasing member adapted to exert a biasing force upon the coupling lever in the first rotational direction with respect to the second axis;
wherein upon an initial first actuation of the release lever the override link is adapted to make circumferential contact with the reset lever with respect to the third axis for back-drive of the reset lever in the first rotational direction, the coupling lever is in the decoupled condition, and the coupling lever is in contact with the first block-out surface; and
wherein upon continued first actuation of the release lever, the coupling lever is spaced from the first block-out surface and is in contact with the second block-out surface, and the coupling lever is in the decoupled condition.
