ABSTRACT:
An appliance door latch provides a rotating hook supported on a linear carriage that may move along a line toward and away from a strike. A release of the strike from the rotating hook requires a compression of springs biasing the linear carriage which are then retained in a compressed state by a catch surface on the rotating hook. Re-engagement of the strike with the rotating hook releases the catch surface, causing the springs to pull the rotating hook and strike inward to aid in compressing a door gasket or the like.
