ABSTRACT:
A latch assembly for connecting a tubular dunnage bar to a support comprises a tubular housing received within an end of the bar, a connector member and a latch plate slidably mounted in the housing, and a single bellows-type spring which is confined in the housing and acts against the inner ends of both the connector member and the latch plate, extending their outer ends from the housing. Extending movement of the connector member is limited by a slot in the housing engaged by a pin on the connector member; movement of the latch plate is limited by a recess in the connector member engaged by a pin formed by part of an operating handle on the latch plate. The outer end of the connector is formed with a laterally projecting locking lug and, with the latch plate retracted, is adapted to be inserted through an opening in a surface of the support and moved laterally, placing the locking lug in overlapping engagement with the inner face of the surface. Subsequent spring urged movement of the latch plate into the opening prevents lateral movement of the connector member and disengagement of the locking lug.
