ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism comprises a latch member having a latch portion having spaced recess walls defining a recess. One of the recess walls is disposed across a keeper bar receiving slot in the path of a keeper bar entering the slot for rotation of the latch member to a latch position against the force of a latch spring, while the opposite recess wall being positioned to move across the keeper bar receiving slot behind the keeper bar as the latch member moves to the latched position to confine the keeper bar within the slot. The opposite recess wall has a slanted face which when the latch member is in the latched position contacts with the keeper bar to urge the keeper bar into contact with one of parallel sides of the slot, to hold the keeper bar therebetween.
