ABSTRACT:
An adjustable over-center latching assembly (11) for securing aircraft panels (13A, 13B) is operated by a worm shaft (21) and segmental gear (25) in order to obtain the rotational directional change required to move a latching member (15) into and out of engagement with a keeper (17). A secondary locking feature is provided due to the irreversible nature of the gear and worm arrangement.
