ABSTRACT:
A latch for use in connecting thin panels together has a base with first and second portions connected by a spring loaded hinge, a lock pin and release pin mounted to the base reciprocate relative to the first and second portions of the base. The first and second portions of the base are moveable relative to one another with the second portion of the base having an edge to engage an enlarged head of the distal end of the lock pin and holding the lock pin in a retracted position. A spring biased release pin contacts the second portion of the base and disengages the enlarged head of the lock pin from the second portion of the base, and a biasing spring returns the lock pin into a locked position where it secures a second panel member to a first panel on which the latch is attached. The lock pin and the release pin are operated by a simple hand tool that cooperates with complementary receptacles on the pins to move the pins along their longitudinal axes in response to an axial force applied by the tool.
