Abstract
A latch including a locking lever pivotally mounted to the latch. The latch also including an intermittent lever pivotally coupled to the locking lever at a first end, wherein movement of the locking lever causes a movement of the intermittent lever. A gear is pivotally coupled to a second end of the locking lever such that rotation of the gear causes movement of the locking lever. The locking lever is formed from a resilient material and has an area of reduced thickness reproducing a spring effect. Movement of the second end of the locking lever with respect to the first end of the locking lever creates a biasing force in the locking lever.
