A latching mechanism having a latch member and a pin assembly mounted on the latch member. The pin assembly includes a first sleeve member secured at one end to the latch member, a second sleeve member secured to the other end of the first sleeve member and having an opening therein and a third sleeve member slidably mounted on the second sleeve member and normally biased in a direction encircling the opening in the second sleeve member. A pin is slidably mounted within the first sleeve member and extends into the second sleeve member and detent means are associated with both the pin and the second sleeve member for selectively preventing the third sleeve member from moving into a position encircling the opening and for releasing the third sleeve member for movement to a position encircling the opening. A locking flange having a floating ring therein is provided for receiving the pin assembly in locking engagement therewith.
