ABSTRACT:
A latch and lock system employing a rotary trip pawl/latch assembly actuated by impingement of a disconnected pushbutton trip arm upon a cam attached to the trip pawl mounting pin. Cross rod connection of the cams of laterally opposed latch assemblies provides dual latch and lock points for a single compartment lid operable through either latch assembly. The lack of a permanent mechanical connection between the pushbutton trip arm and the cam of the latch assembly insulates the latch assembly from forceful attack upon the pushbutton.
