ABSTRACT:
A latch has a central C-shaped clamping member with a latching slot therein, to each side of the clamping member is a handle, and a flange having an aperture for rotatable journaling of the latch; the latch is symmetrical about the centerline of the clamping member and is formed of a contiguous piece of sheet metal with the clamping member being two layers of metal folded against each other; a latch mechanism utilizing this latch has two discrete structure members, a pair of apertures in each structure member, a pin rotatably fastening the latch to one aperture, a pilot on the pin with the pilot being registrable with a corresponding aperture on the other structure, the pilot and pin are interchangeable in either aperature enabling journaling of the latch from either end, the swinging end of the latch can be locked by placement of a lock pin in the otherwise unused latch journal and structure member apertures, and there is a guide ramp on either side of the clamping member for guiding the structure members together.
