Abstract: This invention provides a much simplified latch including a ratchet that incorporates not only the fishmouth to capture the striker, but also a secondary latching feature such as a hook portion which extends in a secondary position over the fishmouth of the housing and prevents the striker from releasing until such time as the user operates an easily accessible release hand le which may be illuminated.
