Abstract:
1. A door closing latching mechanism comprising: a door handle receiver; puller tongue means, within the door closing latching mechanism, for forcing an ajar door closed; a latch; a setting lever contacting said puller tongue means and latch when rotated; means, coupled to said puller tongue means, for selectively holding said puller tongue means in a retracted position; means, coupled to said latch, for selectively releasing said puller tongue means from the retracted position upon movement of said latch; and means, coupled to said door handle receiver, for decoupling said latch from said means for selectively releasing said puller tongue means from the retracted position when said door handle receiver is rotated, permitting said door handle receiver to be rotated without releasing said puller tongue means, whereby releasing of said puller tongue means is caused by movement of said latch when coupled to said means for selectively releasing said puller tongue means resulting in a door being pulled closed and latched securely.
