    Abstract: The present invention relates to a load floor latch for securing a first closure member to a second closure member panel. When the first and second closure members are fastened, the latch is opened by actuating the handle and the pawl is retracted into the latch. A biasing device such as a torsion spring acts on a locking arm so as to pivot the locking arm such that it engages a slot on the pawl. This maintains the pawl in the retracted position. When the first closure member to which the latch is attached is closed so as to bring the first closure member into a closed position with respect to the second closure member, a projection on the locking arm contacts a contact member such that the locking arm is pivoted and the locking arm no longer remains the slot in the pawl. The pawl is then free to extend out of the latch to a latched position by the action of a compression spring and engage a keeper on the second closure member to thus fasten the first and second closure members.

    Abstract: The present invention is a latch for securing a first closure member, such as a lid or cover of an automotive vehicle, in place relative to a second closure member, such as a floor or wall of an automotive vehicle. The latch includes a housing (100) and a handle (150). The housing includes a channel (112). The handle includes a handle member (200), a pawl (300), a pair of pawl-related biasing members (212), and a channel-related biasing member (214). The latch can be opened and closed by grasping and rotating the handle member. The first closure member that is in contact with the latch may be raised by grasping and rotating the handle member upward, and then raising the first closure member upward by way of the handle member. The first closure member may be lowered by grasping and rotating the handle member upward, and then lowering the first closure member downward by way of the handle. Alternatively, the first closure member may be lowered by releasing the handle member when the first closure member is in the raised position.

    Abstract: A latch assembly for releasably securing a first member in a closed position relative to a second member is disclosed. The latch assembly includes a housing, a handle, and a lock barrel. The housing is adapted for attachment to one of the first member and the second member. The handle is pivotally attached to the housing and is movable between a closed position and an open position. The handle causes the latch assembly to open when the handle is moved to the open position. The lock barrel is supported by the handle. The lock barrel is adapted for being selectively rotated between locked and unlocked positions by a user using a key. The lock barrel has two projections that are positioned to interfere with and substantially prevent the movement of the handle to the open position when the lock barrel is in the locked position.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a load floor latch for securing a first closure member to a second closure member panel. When the first and second closure members are fastened, the latch is opened by actuating the handle 2 and the pawl 4 is retracted into the latch. A biasing device such as a torsion spring acts on a retaining locking arm 9 so as to pivot the locking arm such that it engages a slot on the pawl 4. This maintains the pawl in the retracted position. When the first closure member to which the latch is attached is closed so as to bring the first closure member into a closed position with respect to the second closure member, a projection 8 on the locking arm contacts a contact member such that the locking arm is pivoted and the locking arm no longer remains in the slot in the pawl. The pawl is then free to extend out of the latch to a latched position by the action of a compression spring and engage a keeper on the second closure member to thus fasten the first and second closure members. The pivoting locking arm may be replaced by a displaceable detent in a further embodiment which operates in the same way as the first embodiment.
