ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism for a laterally movable harvesting unit of a cotton harvester. The latching mechanism includes a latching pin which is associated with the harvesting unit for movement therewith and which is resiliently biased in two opposite directions. The latching pin is endwise movable along a generally straight line path between a locked position whereat the pin inhibits lateral movement of the harvesting unit and a released position whereat the pin allows lateral movement of the harvesting unit. A handle, which is selectively movable between locked and released positions, is connected to and moves the latching pin between corresponding positions. The resiliency of the latching pin allows movement of the handle between positions while facilitating consequent movement of the latching pin between corresponding positions.
