Abstract

See full text

A rotary latch system where a rotary latch has a trip pawl and a latch jaw which engages a striker. When a T-handle is turned, rotation is translated via a rotating member to an actuating lever. Movement of the lever triggers the pawl which releases the latch jaw. Linkages to other latches can be easily made by connecting to pins upon the rotating member. The latch can then act as a master latch which operates a group of latches. T-handle is spring biased to return to its starting position on release. A locking embodiment provides a lock assembly which interferes with the rotation of the actuating lever when system is in a locked position.
