ABSTRACT:
A latch mechanism includes a rotary latch bolt spring-biased to a rotative position allowing opening of an associated closure. The latch bolt has a shoulder which may be engaged with an extremely lightweight catch mechanism designed to retain the latch bolt in a locked position until the catch is released. An electric motor powers the release mechanism for the catch. The lightweight nature of the catch deters accidental actuation of the catch.
