    Abstract: A flexible draw latch for use in securing two closure members together comprises a keeper adapted to be affixed to one of the closure members, a mounting bracket adapted to be affixed to the other closure members, a mounting bracket adapted to be affixed to the other closure member, a lever pivotally connected to the mounting bracket, and a locking member made of a flexible, resilient material pivotally connected to the lever wherein the locking member is detachable connected to the keeper and wherein the locking member is disposed in overlying relation to the keeper, the mounting bracket and the lever when the latch is in a closed, latched position and wherein the pivot connection between the lever and the locking member is closer to the closure member than the pivot connection between the lever and the mounting bracket when the latch is in a closed, latched position. A cross-pin is transversely disposed within the keeper-engageable portion of the locking member to prevent localized deformation and to relieve stress on the locking member. Longitudinal ribs are provided to lower the neutral axis of the locking member and help prevent the locking member from bending when elongated.

    Abstract: A latch of the pull-up type for a cabinet door is latched and unlatched by turning the latch handle in one direction or the other. When the door is in latched position, rotating the latch handle in the unlatching direction initially causes a spring-biased shaft, which carries a latching pawl, to move axially inwardly. This inward movement of the shaft is permitted because a cam in the handle is moved rotationally to present downwardly sloping cam surfaces to opposite ends of a cam-follower pin which is mounted on the shaft near its outer end. The shaft is prevented from rotating on its own axis until a motion-control cross pin, which is also mounted on the shaft, is moved inwardly a sufficient distance to escape from axial motion-control slots in a support sleeve which is mounted on the door at an opening therein and through which the shaft passes. As soon as the motion-control pin emerges from the motion-control slots, it is able to move laterally into lateral arcuate motion-control recesses in the support sleeve, thereby to allow the shaft and the latch pawl to turn out of the way of the cabinet frame. To latch the door, the action described takes place in reverse order.
