ABSTRACT:
A latching device is provided for coupling a vehicle tool carrier with a variety of tools such as a bucket. The device serves to releasably secure the tool with the carrier once the carrier has been positioned with the tool. A detent mechanism is provided on the device to retain it in either its latched or unlatched position. A lost-motion connection is provided between the latching handle and latch pin to permit the link interconnecting the handle and pin to move to an over-center position when the device is in the latching configuration. A spring serves to hold the link in its over-center position. The latch handle swings through an angle of approximately 70 degrees as it moves between its latched and unlatched positions to minimize interference with the carrier and tool structures and simplify activation by the operator from his seat.
