ABSTRACT:
A manually operable latching device for use in securing a truck door in the open position during the loading and unloading process. The latching device comprises a cantilevered latching plate affixed to a truck trailer door and a pinning assembly secured to the frame of the truck at a location substantially adjacent the plate when the door is in the open position. The pinning assembly comprises a bushing bracket, a U-shaped rod moveably mounted within the bracket, a safety stop plate, and a spring attached to one end of the rod for exerting a compressive force between the rod and the bracket when the rod is moved relative to the bracket. The other end of the rod positively engages the plate to secure the door in the open position.
