Abstract: A multipoint latch system for releasably securing a first panel member against an enclosure cabinet or frame, the latch system having a translatable rod member adapted to be carried on a door panel, a rod guide which is fixably mounted on the door panel, a panel block which is connected to the translatable rod member and a pawl member rotatably mounted to the panel block so that the arm translates with the rod member, there further being a camming mechanism which causes the pawl to move relative to the rod member as the pawl is translated with the rod. A keeper is provided for installation on a corresponding enclosure frame, and an actuator is provided to facilitate translation of the rod member to release the pawl from engagement with a keeper after.

Abstract: An actuator (32) is used for operating a variety of latching mechanisms. In one embodiment, the latching mechanism includes a rotatable connecting member comprised of a single piece or of separate pieces attached together and the actuator (32) includes a handle assembly (20) operable through pivotal movements of a handle (32). In operation, the actuator is mountable in a panel or similar member so that the pivoting motion of the handle (32) occurs along a longitudinal axis of the connecting member.

Abstract: A multi-point latching system is adapted for mounting on a panel (202) and securing the panel (202) to a frame (200). The system includes a central latch (20), remote latches (108) and connecting rods (100, 102, 104). The central latch (20) includes a housing (26) and a handle assembly (22) pivotably mounted in the housing (26) for rotation about an axis parallel to the panel (202) for opening and closing the central latch (20). The handle assembly (22) extends through the housing (26) and includes a handle (24) and a pivot arm (38). The pivot arm (38) extends from the back of the housing (26). The central latch (20) also includes an actuator (64) pivotably mounted for rotation normal to the panel (202); and a link (62) connecting the handle assembly (22) to one of the connecting rods (100, 102, 104), which is also connected to the actuator (64), such that the actuator (64) is rotated by rotating the handle assembly (22). The remote latches (108) are engaged by rotation of the actuator plate (64) through the connecting rods (100, 102, 104).

Abstract: The present invention is a pawl latch (100) which is adapted to be mounted to a first member, such as a closure panel (30) of drawer face plate for releasably retaining the closure panel against an enclosure. The latch has spring-assisted engagement and disengagement of its pawl with the edge of an enclosure opening against which the pawl operates. This results in spring-assisted inject and eject functions for connecting and disconnecting any associate backplane connection.

Abstract: A locking slide latch (200) comprises components that are easily assembled without the need for separate fasteners or adhesives. A presently preferred latch comprises a housing (211), a pawl (216) received within the housing (211) and an actuating member (213) associated with and slidable relative to the housing for displacing the pawl (216) from an extended position to a retracted position. These components are assembled together without the use of separate fasteners or adhesives, thereby simplifying assembly and allowing for interchangeability of parts to meet varying latch requirements. The latches are preferably manufactured from corrosion resistant materials such as plastics, composites and corrosion resistant metals, and are highly suitable for use in automotive, recreational vehicle and marine applications.

Abstract: An over-center toggle latch (fig. 3) for securing two members together having a latch housing (20) affixed to one of the members, a keeper (100) affixed to the other of the members (109) a toggle (30) pivotally mounted within the housing (20) for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position, and a retainer (60) disposed within the housing (20) and in pivotal contact with each of the housing (20) and the toggle (30) for retaining the toggle (30) in either of the first and second positions. The keeper (100) pivots the toggle (30) from the first position to the second position upon the closing of the latch (fig. 3) and the keeper (100) pivots the toggle (30) from the second position to the first position upon the opening of the latch (fig. 3). A switch (70) operable between a closed position and an open position wherein a circuit (71, 72) is closed only when the keeper (100) is in the second position and the circuit (71, 72) is open only when the keeper (100) is in the first position, the switch (70) being completely inoperable until the keeper (100) is fully inserted in the housing (20) whereby closing of the circuit (71, 72) is avoided.

Abstract: A compression latch with a folding handle for selectively holding a door closed is disclosed. The latch includes a housing with a cup portion for receiving the handle in the folded down position such that the projection of the latch handle above the exterior surface of the door is minimized in the folded-down position. The handle functions to move a pawl in a combination of rotational and rectilinear movements as the pawl is moved between latched and unlatched positions.
