Abstract
A push button release apparatus for releasing a door of a vehicle has a housing secured to the door of the vehicle. The housing defines a cavity. A push button supported by the housing is slidable relative to the housing and moves between an inoperative location and an operative location. A cam device pivotally supported about a pivotal axis has a first termination defining a cam surface that cooperates with the push button and a second termination connected to a cable. When the push button is moved from the inoperative location toward the operative location the cam rotates about the pivotal axis and the second termination of the cam device moves, pulling the cable for releasing the door of the vehicle.
