ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly which releases when a predetermined force is applied to it includes a latch and a handle pivotally mounted on a closure member for pivoting movement about parallel axes. The handle includes a projection which extends into a groove in the latch, and the projection and groove lie generally along the line which joins the pivot axes. When the handle is pivoted, the projection pivots the latch. The latch includes a pivot portion, a latching portion, and a connecting portion which connects the latching portion to the pivot portion. The connecting portion is flexible and permits the latching portion to release if a predetermined force is applied to the latching portion.
